We've managed, through tons of poisoning and squishing, to get rid of the bedbugs. I have only seen dead ones, and none of us have new bites. I believe we acted quickly enough to stop any major infestation. I have poisoned and then washed all of the fur in the house, and it's good as new-no smell or bugs in the fur for sure. Work is resuming almost like nothing happened, and I can even get caught up and possibly ahead in a few days.
