This story began when the bedbugs appeared in our communal apartment. Of course I looked for ways to destroy them. If fact this situation was worse than I thought in the beginning. No chemical cleaning killed them. The number of bedbugs grew more. For many years people have belittled the problem of bed bugs, but now they begin to realize how serious it is. Bed bugs spread quickly in residential buildings, hospitals, cinemas, hotels. According to Rospotrebnadzor, the number of these insects doubles every year. In addition the number of tropical bugs greatly increased in Russia in recent years. Outwardly they are few different from ordinary bed bugs. But these parasites are more resistant to poisons, they have long legs and they can crawl along smooth vertical surfaces, bite a person not only at night but also during the day. The problem of infection with bedbugs is dangerous not only because of its scale, but because of public prejudice. Bed bugs are shameful and dirty. Peopleexperiencing horror and disgust. Friends and relatives avoid going to guests and invite those who have bedbugs to themselves. Itching from bites, allergic reactions, sleepless nights, a threat to reputation and constant anxiety - all this leads to a huge emotional stress. «They come at night» are the stories of people who fought whith the bedbugs. Aromatic herbs, a vinegar, an iron, a meditation, a smoke bomb — this methods of dealing with tiny insects. Almost all the characters in this movie asked not to indicate their names. But participating in this project for them is an opportunity to talk about a problem which is not accepted to talk about. The names of all the heroes have been changed.
Method 1. Aromatherapy Put bunches of dried rosemary, St. John's wort, thyme, wormwood or valerian in the habitats of bugs. Wipe solid bed surfaces with vinegar (9%) or vinegar and water. Luba I had never seen badbugs before they appeared in my flat. It troubled me, I had nightmares. I did not turn off the light at all. I slept in clothes, poured out vinegar on a sofa, laid out aromatic herbs. I remember that once after a nap I opened my eyes and saw two badbugs on the back of the sofa. One day I came to visit my friend. I didn’t want to go home. I asked him if I can spend the night on his flat. He allowed me on condition that I would iron my clothes all night. How could I like this guy before?
