[QUOTE="annakappa, post: 406512, member: 3751"] DON'T know of Any friends with a big freezer I DO know a bit about removing bed bugs after my stint as hospitalero in Rabanal. We dealt with, if remember well, 12 cases in 2 weeks. We had a strict protocol to adhere to. I won't go through it all here (Guacelmo had both a washing machine and dryer, obviously with temperatures up to, well I guess nearly boiling point - can't remember exactly to what temp European washing machines reach). The back packs were put in black plastic bags and left in the field in the sun fir as long as possible. Never seen a self service launderette so here.☹️ No idea how someone deals with their nappies (diapers) here, should they have cloth ones. All my 5 Costa Rican born grandchildren were not bought up very ecologically and used disposables! Kitchen towels get washed with everything else in a cold wash. Horror of horrors? That's how it's done here! Diatomaceous earth? Not sure. Don't have a cauldron, nor place to make an open fire☹️( thinking of Asterix here)! Well, so far, I've walked the Camino ( various Caminos) 8 times and have been lucky. No bed bugs, neither for me nor for Adriaan! Anyway, after my experience at Guacelmo, I was idly checking out bed bugs on the Internet and came across a quiz 'do you know your bed bug' - or words to that effect. Did the quiz and got 17 out of 20, so was quite pleased with myself! SY - your post was fantastic! Really! [/QUOTE]
