Usually we have a strict rule around here to never pick up used furniture, as it’s entirely possibly infested with bedbugs. But this was a bit different, this was donated from a church school (my bad). It looks basically brand spanking new, save for a small hole in the left arm of it.

Yeah it got half soaked in the rain, but no big deal, it’s at my mom’s place now drying out. Here in a couple or few days whenever she tells me it’s dry enough, we’re gonna haul her old beat up couch away.

Edit: Photo added, cushions are off to the side still drying.

    Isn’t that more or less just straight up carbon dioxide, or is there more to it than that? Either way, yeah dangerous deadly stuff…

      The professional way to get rid of them is to heat the building and its contents up to 150f for a few hours to kill the bugs and their eggs.

        Yep, true that.

        And the unprofessional way is to throw out half your furniture and use X-Rid spray, or whatever the fuck they call it, the stuff just works, but is extremely toxic…
