So I’m only 13 and I have a bed bug problem and I’m freaking out. So far its only in my room (everyone else checked their beds and sprayed as precaution) but I don’t know if we have enough money for an exterminator but I need one because spraying isn’t helping any. Please help, I wake up hyperventilating and crying because it scares me….. I need a great exterminator that will come back and do it again if they don’t get them the first time.

The beds in the house is nothing like the ones I see in pictures. It’s nice and covered and when I look through the bed and the seams, there’s really nothing. I don’t see any dirty places. Just once I saw a bed bug crawling and I killed it, but I never seen it. Yet, I get tons of bits. I got three on my leg, two on my arm, and 2 on my face.

We fogged our house yesterday.. And I got those bites when I woke up. It is said that the bites can appear after 1-2 days but also my brother got 6 in his leg.

Is there a way? How did you get rid of it?!?!

Thanks!!!

In May, my youngest son attended a camp for three weeks. When he came home, unintentionally he brought home a little surprise. I obviously had no idea for a while why he was receiving bites all over his body, I just brushed it off as misquotes. As time progressed I started receiving bites and my other son also started getting bitten up. I was still completely confused until one day I was laying in bed and saw something crawling on me. I obviously killed the bug but had no idea what it was so, I did my Google homework. I basically found out this bug was a Bed Bug. Once I learned what it was I inspected the mattress and my son’s was completely infested. I ended up throwing it out because it was so badly infested. I also inspected my mattress in which I only found one bug and only like 3 small blood stains. I vacuumed it very well and put it in a bed bug vinyl bag (bed and box spring). luckily my eldest sons bed did not show any signs of infestation but i vacuumed it anyway and also put it in a bag (bed and box spring). Also before even moving my sons new mattress into the house i encased it in a bag. The thing is, I still see them sometimes, on the bathroom floor and I know my sofa’s are infested. If anyone sits on them they get bitten. I don’t know what to do. It’s a brand new living room set, that I payed close to 2,000 dollars for. As a single mother living on a Nursing Assistants incoming, I honestly can’t afford to throw it away. Yet, I can’t afford to hire a professional. I called around and it’s 1,000 dollars, and most companies said it will probably take multiple treatments. I spent my entire day crying my eyes out. I don’t know what to do. I can’t live like this. I feel like a pig. I mean I’m going to try to rid myself of the problem but It’s already cost me close to 1000$ between replacing the mattress and box spring, buying bags for the beds, and buying the "good night" spray at home depo. I’m going to spray my sofa’s in this spray which seems to work really well (it’s non toxic and can be used directly on fabric). Then I bought foggers, I’m going to fog the entire house. Then I’m going to cover my sofa’s in plastic, with a staple gun and put sofa slip covers over them. I don’t know what else to do. I feel so helpless. Do you think this will work? I plan to launder the covers every week and do regular vacuuming of baseboards. I also plan on fogging once more. Anyone experienced these horrible little bugs? What did you do? Advice, is more then welcomed!

Btw. How can I avoid my eldest son bringing them to college with him. I’m so worried in the fall he will bring them to college with him.

I have a friend coming to visit me from NY next month and a few weeks ago they got bed bugs in their apartment. Even though they have been treating properly, thrown away their beds & other items, & had an exterminator come in several times, I have read that it can take up to 4 months for all of the eggs to die.

What are the chances that she could be carrying eggs on her?

Is there anything I can do ahead of time to assure that if she does carry eggs with her they die and do not hatch? A bug bomb ahead of time?

Thanks!

I can feel hundreds of microscopic bugs inside my skull. I can feel them eating on my brain. I went to the ER. Before I went to Triage, I seen a doctor. I asked him. He turned and asked a nurse to see if they had any beds in the psychiatric ward. I turned and bolted out the door. I can’t to to a psychiatric ward. If I do, I will die. The others inside my head have promised me if I take meds and/or go to a nut house, they will make my heart and lungs stop functioning.
So, I can’t go the doctor. I need to find another way to kill these bugs that are eating my brain.

Please if you know how I can kill them, let me know?
Serious answers ONLY please.

All of you seem to be under the impression the bugs are the ones talking to me. They are not. It is the other people that live inside my body that are talking to me. Gee Wiz, bugs that can talk.

No sign of beds bugs, their larva, or what they may leave behind. Bites are very small red bumps, they look like an allergic reaction. Bites itch after scratching and even after scabbing over.

We never had these stupid bugs until we moved here. We had an old broken fire detector we turned in to her to replace, but we found what seemed to look like eggs and dead bugs. We didn’t know what it was, and we still haven’t received a new fire alarm.. She’s not having the exterminator come in until tomorrow and we told her we’ve been researching and we think its bed bugs and she only told us she’d spray once and then proceeded to tell us that they only come from beds and sofas.. she seriously needs to do research. We pay over 0 in rent.. Is there anything we can do? Do we have any rights?
Lol my bad then.. I HAVE been getting bit. No need to be a smartass.. Just wondering what my options are..

Like it says in the question-
last year we signed a lease at what looked like a decent apartment just to find out after we signed the lease that the place was infested with cockroaches and bed bugs. We’ve spent the last year working with pest control companies and fighting against our crappy landlord but there are just too many bugs, so matter how many times we kill the ones in our apartment it doesn’t matter because there are still bugs in the rest of the building to come back again.

So finally our lease is up and my husband, our 3 month old son, scent hound, house cat, 2 dwarf hamsters, and I will be moving out of our disgusting bug infested apartment into a brand new never-lived in condo, without bugs, and we need to know how to move all our things, without bringing the bugs to infest our new home.

We’ll be moving over-sized leather couches, mattresses, the carpeted cat tree, doggie beds, closets full of clothes, luggage, blankets, baby toys, pillows, etc…
and we don’t want to bring the bugs with us.
So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated- thanks!

It is said that millions of dust mites may reside in our pillows or beds. Does that mean that our faces or skins are also covered with creeping dust mites?

I am deathly afraid of ANY kind of bug. I spray for insects around my house, I constantly clean so I will be free of roaches….but now I read a question about what bed bugs look like and now I am freaked. I change and wash all the sheets on the beds every week. Should I be good not to get them, or should I wash my sheets adn blankets more often than once a week?
I didn’t know they were do tiny. I thought they were flea sized.

Hi all Steve here I I had a Bed Bug Problem in my House. I called an Exterminator and he sprayed 10 times. Them came back and Said there is no sign of any Bed Bugs at all they looked in all my Dressers and beds in the house everywhere even in the basement. They looked all over my House for over 2 hours. I do not see any or have not see any in weeks. Here is the thing I even washed all my Clothing in hot hot water and dried on the hottest setting I did this several times for all my clothes. After I did this I put them in Those huge Space Saver Bags. Home Come every time I but on my Clothes I notice I have little red Round Bites all over my Body. What could this be I a loosing my Mind. I wash my Clothes every Week in the Hottest of hottest water and dry them on the Hottest Setting and put them in a Brand new Space Saver Bag. What could this marks be? I only see them after I have put on Clothes and had them on a while. I notice no new ones when I wake up from my Sleep just when I put on my Clothes. I have even slept Totally Naked just to see if I notice any new makes and I do not. I only see new marks after I have but on my Clothes and had them on a while. What could this bee are the Bed Bugs Still Living Inside all my Clothes? I have washed them all every week in the Hottest of Hot Water and Dried them on the Hottest Setting. So are they not dieing on my Clothes or is this Something else? Like I say I only see these marks after I have put on My clothes that have been washed in very hot water and dried on the hottest setting. Should I throw out all my Clothes Out or what? I thought washing and drying in the Hottest Kills bed bugs. How can I tell if they are still in my Clothes? Why are these marks only coming when I but on my Clothes. Respond all thanks

they are not bed bugs and i have sprayed everything — matress, wood planks under mattress with raid and other formulas but nothing works and nothing is visible except the welts on my skin. i have a dog but he is always treated for fleas.
they are not bed bugs because you can see bed bugs and these are not seen. i do not have an allergic reaction because i can sleep in other beds with no problem.
i live in puerto vallarta mexico and don’t have access to some products mentioned. it is NOT an allergic reaction because i have slept in other beds with no problem. i have no inner springs as the mattress sits on wooden planks over an iron base. they are also NOT bed bugs because you can see bed bugs. they are also NOT noseeums or chiggers because we don’t have them here.

We have called a professional service and 1st time they sprayed something, we actually noticed an increase in these bugs!
Then, they changed the carpets. Yet, bugs remain. Seems like they were reduced (maybe)!

In the kitchen, we noticed a lots of roaches (varying sizes) that show up as we shut off the light during night and there are bed bugs that show up in the beds during late nights!

They told us to spray Boric powder all over and vacuum after leaving it for few hours. We have not yet done it!

What are other "effective" ways to tackle this situation?

Thanks in advance!
What kind of fogger’s can be used in the apartment?
Where do I get those Raid roach bombs?
The service I mentioned is provided by the Apartment folks — they replaced the carpet and sprayed a couple of times.

Hi I live in Tempe, Arizona In an apartment called Wilshire Pines (do not move there) and have been living here for 6 months.

And i would like to know who is held liable if bed bugs infest an apartment? Is it the Landlord/apartment manager or the People who reside in the apartment?

Please answer I really would appreciate it, thanks!
And also I’ve been getting these bed bugs when i was heading into my 5th month.
I moved in 6 months ago. We brought our beds, furniture etc. practically everything. Then suddenly on the 5 month of our lease, bed bugs started appearing on our beds and clothes.

I saw a special on Oprah that says that dust mites mainly feed off our skin cells and are all over our homes, especially our beds and pillows! I know vacuuming is a good way, but the best systems such as Rainbow cost about 00! Are there any cheaper alternatives?
