So stock up on tea tree oil,soap and shampoo. Lavanders also another natural repelent. Might be worth buying flea bombs if you have to bug out, new buildings could be infested, light the bomb and smoke em out.

Yes excellent comment and it also re-enforces my ex military belief that everything should be gone over with a hot steam iron as well.
