Action: Focus on master bedroom wardrobe. wrap in plastic bags and put back in there, so we can spray inside.

* books — I will assume a low_chance_of_hiding_bugs (OK?). We can’t spray on every page of my books.
Action: I will wrap into bundle or cover them during treatment. You could spray behind or around them.
* light toys — I will assume a low_chance_of_hiding_bugs. I can’t wash them in hot water. Some are hard to dry or un-washable. I don’t want to spray chemicals on toys either.
Action: I will dump them into plastic bags during treatment, or keep them behind closed doors
* heavy toys — I will assume a low_chance_of_hiding_bugs. Also too bulky to go into a bag
Action: will cover during treatment

* meimei clothes — in the master bedroom
Action: dryer
* towels and clothes hung in the wardrobe — I will assume the chance is lower
Action: put in dryer if we get a chance.
* blankets on top of the wardrobe– I will assume the chance is lower, since bed bugs won’t need to climb so high. So far, I only saw them on the beds.
Action: put in dryer if we get a chance.
