I've unfortunately had to deal with bed bugs myself before, so I know exactly where you're coming from. I still keep some diatomaceous earth and bed bug spray handy in my home. Just in case.
The pest control guy I recommended to them deals with a product called Aprehend. It deals with a fungus that bed bugs pick up when they step on a spray barrier that they pass on through contact until it pulls fungal chest burster scene and kills them. They seem to be getting good results with it. Worth a shot, I'd say, and he can definitely afford it. Hope he goes for it.

That sounds good. Also there are pest control places that use heat to kill them (bed bugs are sensitive to heat and can't live in high temps).
I hope your Dad gets real pest control people in to get rid of them because they are notorious as you know for coming back. They drive some people around the bend and people start throwing out their furniture and so on (I know because when we had them I went to online forums for our city and read people's stories). I was so glad I discovered DE so I could sleep at night. Ugh.
Glad to hear you are looking forward to going back to work!
