Oh man….I’ve had those little &#&^#ers. They don’t cause allergic reactions tho…you just get real itchy where they’ve been feeding from.
We finally got rid of them when we were moving to a new home…took the clothes over in small loads, tossed them into the wash before they even made it into the rest of the house…dryer heat killed them. Then left all the big stuff for the movers as well as anything that could take 130F for a few hours and had the apartment heat-treated….killed them dead dead dead in every life cycle stage.
Expensive, but I had the money and haven’t seen a single one in three years.
The gold medals are silver and then gold-plated….they haven’t been solid gold for around 100 years.
