Whats the best plan? Bleach, hot water and soap?

I seem to catch the full post-bite slow ones. I tried to stop swating them on the walls but that was after a half dozen successful swats that have left me with concerns about the apartment deposit.

I tried a different approach this year -- not swatting them at all.

I think the mogis & I reached a new level of understanding & I enjoyed my least number of disturbed sleeps in this country ever.

Like Seoulman1 said, just a "water tissue." Helps that I have roughly a million of them because of my baby.

Wipe the blood immediately, otherwise you end up sanding down the wallpaper trying to get the stain off.

Get someone to re-paper the walls.

Fast, cheap, and they'll do a shitty job.

next time you are out and about keep an eye out for 'magic sponge'....sold in family mart and most dept stores / supermakets, it a white sponge, just add a little water and its great at removing squashed mogies.....and it also work wonders on kitchen surfaces and cookers

Just put a sticker over the bloodstain. This is common practice in Korean households.
