B*d bug spotted

Spotted a bd bug earlier. Was tidying out room and I was sitting on our bed and it was on my tshirt. It was definitely a bd bug.

We all got back from overseas a week ago and are regular users of public transport.

B*d bugs have always been a worry of mine so I tend to avoid sitting on the bus/tube but have been more relaxed recently. I usually check mattresses etc. on holiday but didn't this time :(

I don't know how to break this to DH and I think it will freak out the kids particularly DD. He is out after work tonight.

The thought of all the work involved is daunting, even if we call in pest control. Our bedroom is very cluttered particularly my wardrobe - lots of paperwork etc- stuff I should have sorted, big pile of clothes to sell/donate in spare room etc. It is my mess.

It stressed DH out when we had a rodent infestation a few years ago although we managed to eradicate it ourselves.

I think he will blame me because I always have clutter/clothes/soft toys on floor by side of my bed. I am messy.

How can we have people over to our house? I will have to tell parents and then my mum will get stressed.

I wish I hadn't seen the f*cker now.

Anyone out there like me with clutter/mess that has sorted it? It is embarrassing- usually bedroom is out of sight to visitors.

I recommend calling a pest control company to assess the situation. I had once, and it was awful, brought it back by a suitcase from a holiday in France. Not recommended...
