Ugh. We got them from a bassinet a friend gave us. We ended up having to throw away the mattresses and box springs, sleep on an air mattress for almost a year because the **** things can live for freaking EVER without eating, like 6 mos to a year. I wiped everything, walls, floor boards, electrical outlets, EVERYTHING with white vinegar. Washed ALL our clothes, drying them on high twice. It was a nightmare. Now I'm terrified we'll get them again. Anxiety times a thousand anywhere away from home, even my mom's. This prob doesn't help much, but at least you're not alone. Just don't call an exterminator. They can't get rid of them and won't even guarantee because they know they can't.
