I mean 14 Branchland Court is less clean than a garbage dump but iam not sure what bugs bit Bob. What kind of bugs in Virginia
could be responsible for his quarantine in the hospital and later demise?
 
this will turn into another "post pictures of bugs" thread won't it?
 
Apparently the home was infested with Locusts, which makes me suspect ancient Egyptian curses.
 
and don't forget barb n' chris are cuddlebugs
 
It was Chris and Barb. Ever seen "Meet The Applegates?"
 
His was bitten by the love bug around 1980 and that was the true cause of his unpleasant demise.
 
They have indoor/outdoor pets, so I'm guessing fleas, mosquito and ticks, not to mention lice. Bedbugs, maybe. Cockroaches, on the rare occasion where the hoard grows so large that Barb's hording alone isn't enough to feed them, might also decide to feast on the flesh of the living... Basically 14 Branchland Court is a biohazard waiting to spiral out of control. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't already have some sort of superbug living in there. :(
 
I don't even want to think about it. 14BC pretty much needs to be evacuated and have a fire bomb set off inside while sounded by guys with shotguns and flame throwers so that the resulting vermin swarm doesn't destroy the entire neighborhood.

Also, if Bob had it rough with the insect residents, I don't even wanna think about the dogs' situation. :(
 
More seriously, here's how I'd clean up 14 Branchland Court:

1. Hire a two/three tonne truck to carry waste in. Have a hazmat suit available (ebay, ~$150) in case of severe infestation, and to prevent disease.
2. Clear away the yard first. Work out, then move in.
3. Move all "intended survivors" out of the area. Chris, Barb, the dogs, the cats, etc.
4. Buy two "bug bombs" for each room, three for heavily cluttered rooms, release them. Let the gas do its work.
5. Begin shifting some of the stuff out of non-essential rooms, such as store rooms and the like. To prevent Barb's screeching harpy calls regarding throwing away her three year old used paper plates or whatever, I will ask her if she has used it within the last 12 months. If yes, it stays. If no, or is spoiled or damaged, or is only being used for Barb's nesting material, it goes. Anything with any value is assessed under the same criteria, and if discarded, is instead sold to a pawn shop for whatever they'll take it for.
6. Whenever an area is clean of junk, give it a floors, walls, ceiling hot mop with bleach and heavy, hospital grade disinfectant. Repeat as necessary.
7. Work inward, focusing on "utility" areas next, such as the kitchens, bathrooms, computer areas, walkways, etc. Employ the same techniques as earlier, and use the hazmat suit when filth/infestation becomes too strong. Employ bug bombs judiciously and without remorse.
8. Finally reach the more intimate areas such as bedrooms, cupboards, clothes areas and the like. Treat these with the same attitude.
9. Bug-bomb the ceiling, attic, etc. Sweep and clean.
10. Discard items that are past their 'expiry' date. Mattresses, bedsheets, towels, blankets, etc. Anything that's more than 10+ years old and not kept solely as a momento is thrown.
11. Clean and sanitize areas like the bathrooms, toilets, sinks and food preparation tools (oven, microwave, etc).
12. Completely empty cupboards, larders, food shelving, etc. Anything that has perishable goes in the bin, no ifs or buts.
13. Examine salvage prospects. Are the cars salvagable? Bob's record collection? The autism papers? Etc. What can we save, if anything.
14. Carefully watch and coach the 14 Branchland Court inhabitants, teaching them good life skills. Trash goes in the bin straight away. The bin is emptied whenever three quarters full, or on Sunday evening, every week, regardless of state. Empty even empty bags, to keep the behaviour as a habit.
15. Monitor occasionally once I'm satisfied that they're engaging in good habits.

Hopefully that would help.
