Granddaughter brought them home from a FL trip. She borrowed my suitcase and put it back in my room when she unpacked. The exterminator could not find them except for the bites on us. He said we should bring in a dog to sniff them out or wait until they "settled in". We put all mattresses & pillows in covers. Moved clothes and books, shoes in plastic bag outside. 1 hour in 90 degree heat kills them. Then we spread diatomaceous earth from the pet store around & under the bed. They carry it back to their nest and it kils eggs and all in 2 days or less. Have not seen one in 3/4 weeks but I still keep the diatom.earth around. They generally come out between 2 and 5 am. Good luck!
