For starters, I have no objections to filling the space with hazardous chemicals for any reason. I would like to propose that we also take the opportunity to investigate the efficacy of mercury as a bedbug deterrent.<div>

</div>More seriously, I'd like more concrete proof that there are bedbugs in the space. That is: a nonzero integer quantity of bedbugs located within the confines of 2169 Mission St. This is not incompatible with engaging in a no-holds-barred, Sherman-esque March to the bedbug Sea (which I in fact heartily encourage), but we may have better luck finding bedbugs in the space if we check for them prior to dropping our fissile matter on it.</blockquote>

If it captures any bedbugs, then we pursue more aggressive tactics such as setting off fogbombs, calling an exterminator, destroying furniture, superheating the space by hosting a debate on anarchist politics and funnelling the resultant hot air through an elaborate series of tubes, &c. If it doesn't capture anything, then let's just set off some fogbombs for good measure and forget about the whole thing.</div>

After talking with a few people, I am positive that bedbugs are at Noisebridge. I'm happy to give examples of instances privately, but for now, I feel it is very important that we address this issue asap, lest a new breed of them hatch and cause problems.<div>
<br></div><div>While in this case I think it's appropriate that we invest Noisebridge funds into materials to kill them, I'm also just going to get a bunch of fogbombs and launch them myself. Given that they are highly toxic and launching multiple bombs at once is dangerous, if someone could help me handle it, it would make life a lot easier.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Does anyone have things at Noisebridge that they want to cover up before we do this? I am thinking if we set them off sometime next week (maybe thursday?), in the wee hours like at 4am when nobody is around, there will be enough time to handle the situation properly. A number of people have expressed doubt over whether the fogbombs work, but I feel it does not hurt to try, and because I am personally paying for it (unless Noisebridge wants to be awesome) I see no issue with it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If there are bedbugs, and we set off these things, it will kill them, and everyone is happy. If there are no bedbugs, and we set off these things, they are still not there, and it harms nobody. So I figure I will move forward with the plan. If you are interested in helping me somehow, or have suggestions on how to make people both aware of what we're doing, as well as ways to prevent infections in the future, please don't be shy!</div>
