Posts: 4040I understood it to be about the hard surface versus mattresses, carpet, and other fabric covered furniture. It seems bedbugs don't deal with hard surfaces. Writing about this makes me itch.

Posts: 4040A flight attendant I dated for a time explained to me the only way to consistently avoid bringing bedbugs back him in your luggage is to keep your suitcase in the hotel room bathtub overnight. The first time I saw her do it I thought she was out of her mind until she explained what it was about. Their risk is much higher because they are in different hotel rooms every couple of days.

Posts: 4040I once saw a disgusting documentary about the rat capabilities you describe. It turns out they can fit their entire bodies through any opening that is at least as large as their heads. They can climb walls and run across thin electrical cables at high speed. They can jump distances of up 1. 5 meters. Roach infestations are not limited by altitude either. I discovered this on the 25th floor of a Shanghai hotel.

Posts: 713Some people seem to think that the higher you are the fewer rats but my experience was on the 8th floor in a building with 4 meter ceilings. I was also not aware that rats can climb walls. I knew little about rats at the time of the incident but have since learned much. They can collapse the exoskeleton and flatten themselves to enter things like your air conditioning unit. Know your enemy. Because when a rat uses its claws to traverse your face in the night, it is bad ju ju. I instinctively knew what had happened but tried to convince myself it was a bird. I really knew it was not but then I saw the big fat rat. Just sayin' here.

I listened to this brilliant chat yesterday.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SV6MXuGbPI
It prompted me to consider how people interact with each other online, how they avulate others, thinsg that we do here all the time.
It also gave me pause for thought and to help understand why I myself have felt so devastated during this past 2-3 COVID years.

Great and disgusting story.
I've been in couple airbnbs in Buenos Aires / Bombona but luckily all clean (all high-rises).
Regarding Nutibara, to clarify: I haven't see a roach bigger than half cm there (and never seen mentioned earlier 3 inch roaches ever, kind of scary), most of them were very small ones, roaming in the evenings. They also sprayed the room when I mentioned it. I think it helped a little but overall preferred to stomp on couple times than inhale the poison daily.

Posts: 713Forget about roaches and start worrying about bedbugs. #1 if you stay in a room with two beds, do NOT put your suitcase on the spare bed even if it seems handy. #2 keep any chicas' backpacks (yours too of course) or purses off your beds or couches. Keep all that stuff on hard surfaces. Roaches, I just plan on using a full can of Raid on arrival and buggering off for several hours, then sweeping the fuckers out into the hallway. I have never had a rat in a hotel room but once I rented an apartment in Buenos Aires and a rat ran across my face while I was sleeping. That was very disturbing. Turned out they were living in the window air conditioner and eventually got hungry enough to eat through the insulation so papa rat could squeeze through the louvers and get some food. A day or two later I succeeded in chasing him up into the drop ceiling but later that day I had a hooker over and we were have a post coital snack and the rat fell through the drop ceiling and landed about foot from us, then buggered off under my bed. Did not really faze the hooker, whom I had known for years. This was all over a long holiday weekend and the rental agency was unavailable. I could not deal with the rat under the bed so I went to a hotel for two nights and the agency finally sent some paraguayan dude over and he dismantled the AC and there was a whole nest of baby rats and a big fat momma rat in there. And a whole trail of food and styrofoam insulation. They were definitely getting ready to move right in. I remember him walking out of that apartment with a canvas bag full of squirming rats. I couldn't eat for a couple of days and had to hire someone else to clean up all the rat shit and spilled food because that was not in his job description. The agency said they would send someone in the 'next day or two' but I couldn't sleep with rat shit either.

The giant 3 inch roaches you see in the streets around parque berrio, I have never encountered those in an apartment. I always try and stay above the 7th floor or so.
Occasionally, the apartments will have the German roaches, those little fuckers that are like half an inch long. When you see those, that means there is an infestation, and there's no getting rid of them.
In that case, I just send a picture of them to Airbnb support and get a full refund, and go somewhere else.
Those dudes who stay in the nutibara and have no problem with vermin, that must be some good p*ssy they're bringing back there to deal with that!

Roaches, that's a different story. I usually did my killing before bed. There was one bastard living under the fridge that I couldn't catch and eventually decided to let it go since he respected my boundaries and didn't put his feet on the table. Over time I grew to enjoy his company, hope you're doing well buddy.
