Help, I've got bed bugs and am stressed out about it. Can't sleep for imagining bugs crawling over me.
Just been quoted £3200 by Rentokil for a heat treatment which promises to eradicate bugs and eggs with one simple easy treatment - apparently they heat up the affected rooms to 70 degrees and that kills everything.
The alternative is spraying toxic chemicals which I've been quoted £1,200 for. That includes five visits to ensure entire eradication of bugs. However, that involves loads of hassle, emptying every drawer and wardrobe, removing everything from the walls, all books from bookcases and washing every item of clothing in the house, ideally at 60 degrees or over!! Feel faint at the prospect of so much upheaval and washing....
Has anyone had recent experience of bed bugs, or used the heat treatment? What was effective? Would really appreciate some advice. Thanks!

AIBU?
To think that £3200 quote for blitzing bed bugs is extortionate?
