Avid thrifter here the way pest control gets rid of bed bugs is intense heat. As soon as you get home with your thrift items immediately put them in the dryer for a minimum of 30 minutes THEN wash them. For books and non-clothing into a ziplock and then into the freezer!

You know what last few times I’ve thrifted I just threw them on my floor and washed and dried them later. You have reminded me why it’s so important to do it immediately

I never try on at the thrift, I go home and wash everything then try on at home. if it doesn’t fit that’s the risk I take

To take items to thrift when you know your home has bed bugs is crazy. Don’t do it.

And, this is why I refuse to thrift or buy second hand. I even stopped using the public library because I saw people were getting bed bugs by bringing books home!

Bed bugs are genuinely the worst things to ever get. Took me 7 months to get rid of them when I moved into a new apartment that had them. Worst experience of my life.
