NF, I admire the heck out of you; I can't imagine dealing with the bedbugs much less the people stuff you've got going. My friend who's going out of town today to work for 6 months, commuting back here only for a day and a half on weekends, finally got his cats and flea problem under control; he's been working on that for over a year I think, I've been terrified since he's over here so much that he'd bring them here. Fortunately he wears white socks and I look at them, LOL The poor cats were the last problem and he took them to a special vet and got them totally cared for and they're protected really well even if the apartment still harbors any. It's been difficult for him as it's an apartment and they're indoor cats! Like, where'd they come from?
