Bed bugs - we’ve got them at our school. They keep spraying but every couple weeks we see them. I believe there is a family that has them but financially can not afford to spray their apartment.

Any advice??

I agree ☝️- but use companies that use high heat. It’s more effective and non-toxic.

Diatamatious Earth (spelling?). It's a powder you can put it on the floor, even better if you have carpet.

I have used Diatamatious Earth for fleas. Cheap and works well, safe for kids and animals

When we had a problem in our building -
We put every soft surface (coats, book bags etc) in garbage bags for the kids so no one else took them home too.
I spray 91% isopropyl alcohol on any soft surface like my beanbags in my room because it kills them too.

I just recently resigned my teaching position for a position in another state to be closer to family. I will be making a lot less money (about 1/2 as much). Am I crazy to give up a high paying teaching position that took me 12 years to get to on the pay scale or is being closer to my family worth the pay cut? Anybody ever found themselves in a similar situation? I gave up tenure too. Honestly, I wasn’t happy living in my home town making the most money I've made. I guess it’s a leap of faith!
