We have bedbugs. Its crippling our state of mind at the moment.
Over a month ago we contacted a local pest controller who quoted us very cheaply to fumigate the bedrooms, advising us to throw our bed, and that the treatment was very safe and effective. we went with it and he carried out the work.
2 weeks ago we discovered the bugs back. My dh phoned the guy back and he came back and had a quick spray around. He was shocked that they had returned, couldn't understand it, has the whole time been very blase about the whole thing, very reassuring "oh everything will be fine".
Yesterday - they're back. We phoned again and were told we'd get a call today which didn't come. So I phoned a company who claim to specialize jn bedbugs, they have a very impressive website. I was talking to them for half an hour, seemed incredibly knowledgeable, and actually were dissuading me from spending my money with them as they weren't local. gave me advice, which conflicted somewhat to first guy(in that he should have offered at least 2 treatments, shouldnt have advised us to ditch our bed, that only 6% of cases are eliminated with one treatment etc)
Anyway my dh phoned back the original and questioned this, in a non accusatory way. He became completely angry and defensive and basically said "well go with these guys if you think they're so great and don't pay our fee- we won't come bAck" dh and I were flabbergasted, we were only asking questions! Left completely clueless we've contacted a 3rd company locally this time, and explained our dilemma,he thinks the initial job wasn't thorough enough.
So aibu to think the first guy hasn't done a proper job? Do we take him at his word and not have him back and not pay his fee and start again (at what will be an incredible expense both financially and time wise to us)? Do we ring back and grovel and ask him to come back to respray (as he had suggested)? Dh thinks we should go with the latter, doesn't want to upset him and wants him to finish the job. I'm not sure I trust him now.
