Re: [Bedbug Support Message] What to do with electronics?

Noah...In NY the landlord cannot refuse to treat for
them..its against the law.....in the meantime..go to
Staples and get a large roll of plastic shrink
wrap...or anyplace you can get some...its self
adhesive and this roll goes a long way....you can wrap
all of your LPS and anything you can live without for
a while...like a year....and then get some food grade
DE and a hand bellows...from 1800 4763368
doyourownpestcontrol.com they have lots of
products...start to take some control...remove all of
your switchplates and dust inside..put the plates back
on and maybe around the plate gaps put a smear of
vaseline....try to isolate your bed...and buy the
higher end mattress AND boxspring covers...and your
pillow as well...switch to all white sheets...go onto
bedbugger.com and read what you can...but you can hold
back a portion of your rent because of the
"habitibility clause"..I believe bedbugger has info on
this...you must be proactive and also assertive with
your landlord....deb
