Bedbugs fucking suck.
These little buggers range from 1/2 to 2 millimeters in size, weasel their way into every nook and cranny, and climb walls and bags like ants. And permethrin kills them. I'm not sure what else they die to except extended periods of heat, but permethrin is the go-to killer. And I love the smell of permethrin in the morning.
There were a few days in Ecuador when I practically bathed in permethrin. My dad and I got bedbugs from the Check Inn B&B in Cuenca and it took a week to fully get rid of them. We doused our bags in permethrin, then we sprayed our entire room from top to bottom, closed the door and all the windows, and slept in it to make sure all the bugs died. The next day I found a dead one in my glasses case, which was holding my nail clippers, tweezers and other odds and ends. So we did it all again. We got every one of them.
And now the smell of permethrin is as sweet as honey to me.
