Oh man, bad roommates.
I went through that years ago followed by an ant invasion. Couldn't get rid of the skin-crawls for months, though it did serve to reduce my sitting around for long. Served to reduce my going home, for that matter.
I went with the complete room-strip and chemical warfare route, along with replacing all my bedding and pillows, and getting mattress bags that don't let the critters hide. Strip, bomb, chemical wash, and seal up everything porous. Seems like I spent several $hundred on the chemicals and sheets. For the next year it was like going to bed on plastic wrap.
Nothing quite like home-sweet-home.
