First, I've never had bedbugs in my life. Never seen one, never had a bite. The other day I found a very small bug crawling on my couch and caught it. Took it to an exterminator because it looked suspicious and it turns out that it is indeed a bedbug. I've thoroughly searched the couch and surrounding area and not seen anymore bugs, or any of the other signs of them (blood stains, shedded skins, etc.). Also no one that lives in my apartment has any bites, or has ever had any bites. We found the bug last week and have been on alert for any new signs, but nothing. So my question is this. Should I go ahead and do the treatment anyway, or risk it and not do anything? The treatment is very thorough and time consuming (not to mention expensive) and involves basically ripping apart my whole apartment, spending hours and hours cleaning, doing laundry, etc. If I don't have anymore bugs, it seems crazy to do all that. But then, I also definitely do not want to end up with an infestation. I searched alot online, but can't seem to find any information about what to do if you find a bug, but no bites. Usually it's the other way around. The exterminator had no opinion either way, he said it's up to us. Thoughts? I have an important question related to bedbugs.

All residents were provided with written preparation instructions (which is considerable less than conventional insecticide treatments), literature regarding “everything you want to know about bed bugs – and more” which answers virtually all their questions as well as addressing all the issues mentioned in the article. In addition, we are working with a local pest management firm to perform conventional insecticide treatments using dessicant dusts, and long term residual, non-repellant sprays for long term protection. All residents have been advised NOT to take anything with them other than recently washed/dried in hot temperature change of clothing. We are installing bed bug certified mattress/boxspring encasements, Climbup Insect Interceptors for ongoing monitoring/inspections and providing DDVP flystrips for those items that residents are concerned may be damaged by heat (even though almost all items will not be affected other than oil or acrylic paintings, etc which can be dusted or placed in plastic bags and sealed with a DDVP fly strip inserted). We are doing our best to prevent residents from leaving with other personal items and have set up protocol to check their belongings as they return to prevent re-infestation. If anyone has any other suggestions, we would be thrilled to hear them. GOLD SEAL is the company of choice to perform this all inclusive bed bug treatment using the “THERMAPUREHEAT” process.
