Hi list,
The hardest part of eradication is getting rid of the tiny eggs they lay 
in fabric (eg undersides/crevasses of mattresses and couches). I would 
recommend throwing away all couches/cushions/etc, and not replacing till 
you are sure all bedbugs and eggs are long gone. Since there are 
floorboards at Noisebridge, make sure the chemicals or freeze sprays are 
sprayed into all floorboard and kickboard cracks. Wash all clothes with 
boiling hot water and if possible leave out in the sun (eg on the 
clothesline).
Good luck!
Brett.
