Single meetings with bedbugs in the apartment

Denis: Hello! Two months ago, early in the morning, they noticed an adult bug on the wall in the corridor, a month later a small individual was found in the bathroom (about 3 mm in length). Bedbugs have never been found; no one has bites. Tell me, is it possible that the neighbors carry out treatment from bedbugs and they run to us, or is our apartment already infected and the bedbugs are hiding somewhere under the floor?

Answer: Denis, hello! If processing is carried out with services using professional drugs, then bedbugs do not run out of apartments, but die. The presence of a small individual discovered by you may indicate that the female bug managed to lay eggs and the larvae still hatched. I would recommend a treatment. If you are sure that there are no insects in your apartment, carry out pest control yourself. As a poisonous drug, buy a cypermethrin-based product. Dilute the chemical in 1 liter of water with 2 ml of the product and treat the apartment around the perimeter, legs of furniture, beds, back walls of cabinets. Do not forget about respiratory protection. After processing, the apartment should be left for 2 - 3 hours, then aired. If this is difficult for you, contact a professional disassembly. A single treatment, in your case, will be enough.
