I (F18) am a borderline hoarder. I don’t have the issue of getting rid of stuff because I think I need it, I’m just a lazy person. So naturally that starts to build up over time. Now add to the fact that I have let clutter build up over the span of at least three to six years, which I’m fully aware is disgusting. I’m not proud of it.
Around two days ago I was tasked with getting my bedroom cleaned before New Years. Now to paint you a little picture, there was boxes of junk, dirty clothes all over, clothes spilling out of drawers, and you couldn’t really see the carpet. So needless to say this wasn’t going to be an easy job.
As I’m cleaning (under my bed to be more specific), throwing out stuff and donating what is able to be donated, I noticed a little beetle like bug. Now I hadn’t noticed any while under the bed, it wasn’t until I got out from under the bed did I notice it on my pants. Upon closer inspection it was just the shell of a big, like a cicada shell but way smaller.
At first I didn’t get too concerned, until I noticed a second shell stuck on my sock. Then I pull out a pink duffel type bag from beneath my bed, a completely empty bag, and notice what I had begun to fear. A fair amount of the tiny beetle bugs were within the bag, some alive. I immediately throw out the bag and call for my mom to see if she can’t identify what type of bug it was. It was thankfully not a bed bug.
Eventually we came to the conclusion it must be book lice. That meant I would have to go around vacuuming everything in my room, every stuffed animal, every cloth surface, every inch of carpet, etc. It was already around six pm when this discovery was made. Around this time an online friend also informed me that it was carpet beetles.
From six pm to two am I was vacuuming, changing sheets, vacuuming again, all while being exhausted and stressed at the added mess in my room. Later today, after getting sleep, I will have to finish decluttering and vacuum everything once again to make sure all the bugs are gone.
TL;DR: I let clutter build up in my room for six years before finally cleaning it. In the process of cleaning it I learned I have got carpet beetles as a result of my clutter and now have to try and get rid of all the bugs while still decluttering my room.
Edit: Here’s photo’s of what my room looks like currently. I’m going to finish it today after an appointment.- Room Messy
