my brother and his girlfriend recently moved out of a really nasty apartment that was infested with mold and apparently bed bugs and the occasional roach. the health inspector actually forced them to move out saying that the conditions were not acceptable and that the place would have to be gutted, all the walls would have to be removed and so on. when i use to go over i was aware of the mold and the roaches, but didn’t think there was anything in the children’s room. and my daughter and i spent the night a few times. well my brother is in a new place and i went and spent the night, in the morning i noticed that he had plastic covers over his box spring and mattress and that most of his and his g/f clothing were in plastic bags, when i asked about this, he told me that someone came over to spray for bed bugs. my daughter and i slept on an air mattress, i haven’t noticed any bites or anything that look like bug bites on my little girl or me. but now im wondering if there were bed bugs could they have gotten onto our clothing and spread into my place? i have never had any roaches, mold, or bed bugs before and really wouldn’t like to get them either. is there a way to detect them if by chance they did spread to my place and if so how to get rid of them or must everything be thrown away?
