There is a possibility of a bedbug infestation. This is a page for organizing a response.
Pledge
[edit | edit source]Cute dogs came http://www.yelp.com/biz/scent-tek-san-francisco-2 came and expertly collapsed the heisenbergian eigenbedbug state for us on HEISENBUG DAY, May 25th. The space was clear of infestation, but there was a bedbuggian smell from one of our lesser-used and isolated sofas, which was immediately set to be dispatched and the area steamed to all hell and back.
We're going to have to dogs back in a month (so June 25th) to check all is well.
The Scent Dogs cost $200.
In accordance with anciente tradition, herewith a pledge list:
Danny - $140 (I lost my bet :()

MrDominus - $20 (?right?)

Next Steps
[edit | edit source]- DON'T PANIC
- Set traps - determine if bedbug menace is real.
- Mediation with bedbugs.
- Declare War On Bedbugs
- Ban bedbugs from space.
- If mediation fails, determine the best course of action to eradicate them. Bring up any big projects, potentially harmful consequences in Tuesday meeting.
- Trash all couches and chairs with soft surfaces (like a cushion).
- Capture alive if possible.
- STOBITH ("Shoot The Bedbug In The Head")
- I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
- That very well may be, but if we kill off the bed bugs who will run the underground Factories?
- Stage 37: Robot bed bugs are moved in to continue production.
- Well sure, but what if the robots revolt for equal robo-rights?
- Stage 38: Gorillas are brought in to quell the robo-insurrection
- Fine as that may be, what if the gorillas are pacifists?
- Forcibly inject Gorillas with steroids to make them more violent
- Fine as that may be, what if the gorillas are pacifists?
- Stage 38: Gorillas are brought in to quell the robo-insurrection
- Well sure, but what if the robots revolt for equal robo-rights?
- Stage 37: Robot bed bugs are moved in to continue production.
- That very well may be, but if we kill off the bed bugs who will run the underground Factories?
- Avoid carrying them home at all costs
- Prevent reocurrence by building one of these: http://softsolder.com/2010/11/20/bed-bugs-hot-box-disinsector/
- There's lots of information here on how to get rid of them: http://softsolder.com/2010/11/21/bed-bugs-wrapup/
- Once you've got rid of them, avoid bringing them back!
