These are very good points. We've recently been attacked. My dad moved to the couch but I decided to wait it out and stay in my room. I continued to get bit but not him. But within a couple days he began to get bit again, going back to what you said about them following you. So you are correct about that. Also, we decided to spray Raid, but the moment the spray came out of the can, all these bugs appeared and scattered everywhere. Also, we just took a fouton from the lobby of our NYC apartment, and that is where they are coming from. So the part about not throwing out furniture is correct too.
