[giardini]

I encountered a bedbug-like problem and used a two-pronged approach:

a) ivermectin and

b) permethrin, which I added to laundry and sprayed on clothing and bedclothing.

Permethrin could harm pets so I keep them away from any application until clothing is dry.

Ivermectin kills most bedbugs, fleas et al and stops the young from molting, but they have to bite you first usually. Nonetheless, there's something satisfying about being the bait and knowing that each bite means another bug dies.
