Of bedbugs and toys: Someone in our apartment complex has bedbugs, and I've been advised that they will likely spread. Therefore I probably have to throw out some good condition second-hand wood I was planning to use as a base to build an action figure diorama on.
Apparently bedbugs can hide in wood, including furniture or scrap wood. We're now told to not even buy wooden furniture second hand, never mind anything that we retrieved from someone's discards. I unerstand about, say, an old couch getting infested. But decent used wood also has to be destroyed? Grrr! Hope no one else here on the tank has to deal with this, but bedbugs have become something of an epidemic in NYC. :0

Sorry for your luck bro, i have never had to deal with bedbugs but throwing out good wood sucks no matter how you look at it. Maybe you could have a bonfire, cause then at least the wood wouldn't be a total waste and you could make an evening of it. Oh yeah the whole NYC thing, so bonfire out then?

Sorry to hear about that. I've never (thankfully) had to deal with bedbugs, but I've heard some bad stuff. I hope it works out for you. Sucks that you're gonna have to dump some stuff.

I have never heard of them living in wood. They live in the fabric of the mattresses and cushions tho.
