apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time


Bedbugs Are Good

2004_11_23_room.jpgDept. of Silver Linings. Last week we wrote some long winded piffle - Successful People and Less Stuff - and received some very nice comments. This one stood out in particular:

I just lost EVERYTHING I own to a bed bug infestation in my old apartment. My roommate freaked when she had to leave her stuff, but I found it exhilarating. Now I'm in my new apartment and, although I've bought furniture, I have little else in there and my friends can hear an echo when I'm on the phone with them.

Now, that's the spirit. (Thanks, CC!) MGR

P.S. Bedbugs are a real problem in the city right now and a good reason to read this tip sheet and keep your apartment clean.

Corriander smells of bedbugs. I came across this tidbit sometime ago in a food history book. The Hindi name for corriander is pronounced dhennia, the same as for bedbug. ick. Sorry for any miss spelling.

Check out a freelance article I wrote last fall for THIS OLD HOUSE entitled "Bed Bugs!" Lots of good suggestions from experts on the subject.
