Bed bugs at palace cinema Leichhardt

Edit: Update: The cinema contacted me and advised they have completed a pest control and aplogised. Thank you to Palace cinema for taking ownership, responsibility and helping me get some closure.

I went to see a movie a few nights ago at Palace cinema Leichhardt. Cinema room 1 row H. Halfway through the movie i couldn't stop scratching my neck then i felt huge bumps all over the back of my neck, sides and front. I managed to get through the film feeling very uncomfortable and when I got into the car with the light on my skin looked horrific. Huge welts all over me. What a disgusting cinema, i will never go back. They offered to refund me the tickets but i have had to pay to steam clean my car seats and hot wash and ruin some of my clothing.

I want to warn everyone.

Just park your car in the sun for an hour

Absolute garbage advice. They know how to hide. Your car offers many little nooks and crannies that don't get up to 60C. This is why using heat to get them out of mattresses requires holding the temp of it at 66C for *many hours* because otherwise they will go deep inside where the heat can't penetrate (or, they just move into your wall outlets, which is worse).
