I dunno if laziest but my landlord certainly thought so. I had bedbugs and there's so much crap you have to do prep for the extermination like remove all your clothes and wash them three times on hot, flip through all your books to check for them, the list was ridiculous. I'm way too lazy for that so I paid the extra $600 out of pocket for the "good" treatment where they just super heat your entire home to kill them and all you have to do is remove things that might melt or explode.
Thankfully the exterminators found the illegal fireworks I had hidden and forgotten about, removed them, and didn't say anything to the landlord.
The heat treatment was the only thing that worked when I had to deal with those little fuckers. I'm sorry you had to deal with them, but I'm glad they're gone now. Those things aren't just physically irritating, they fuck with your head.
How hot does your room get in such a process?
55 C or thereabouts. I was at work when they did it. When I came home it felt like I'd left the heat on full blast all day
Yea that's what we did at a public library I worked at whenever a bed bug or signs of it were spotted. All the books in the same space were considered contaminated and we put them all in a special heater.
Damn, that's enough to deform PLA 3d prints
Illegal fireworks? is that code for explosives?
I did a quick check and looks like there are two categories of fireworks above what regular people can freely buy in a store...

Pretty much everything is illegal here except maybe like sparklers and snakes. I only had pretty tame stuff like Roman candles I bought a county over from mine. Lotta wildfires here.
Fireworks are explosives by definition so yes
Depending on location they can all be illegal. Firecrackers specifically are illegal in my region, IIRC.
