We recently got an embarrassing bed bug problem…we were experimenting with roach spray to see if it would kill the hatched bugs and it killed them on the spot. does this also kill the eggs?

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.

Bed bug spray advice?
Posted by admin on November 6th, 2010

We had a bed bug problem and want to use a non toxic product to make sure they’re all gone.
Non toxic because we have a small dog.
We were told by a local hardware store owner that Green Blaster Magic was a good product
to get rid of bed bugs.
But when my wife brought the spray home I discovered that the only active ingredient was
Sodium Chloride(salt).
Inactive Ingredients: Natural Enzymes, Surfactants.
Am I correct to believe that this is merely a salt-water solution and that the other ingredients do nothing to kill bed bugs?
Thanks much for all help/advice

In the building that i live in at the moment has a huge bed bug problem. Now I have bed bugs in my apartment. The exterminator came 5 days ago and sprayed. The following evening I was still getting bites. I read somewhere online about DE. I bought a bag and last night put it in a salt shaker and went crazy pouring it all over the edge of my apartment. All around my bed and under the mattress.. Just the whole outline of the apartment. Around the furniture etc. My nose is dry, i have a headache. My cat is very small and I can tell she doesn’t like it. (She climbed all the way to the top of this closet shelve and i just don’t know how she did it! after pouring this stuff all over.
Is this stuff bad to inhale? Is it just as bad as breathing asbestos? My neighbor says i have to leave it for 10 days and then vacuum it. And how I should just bag everything with BLACK industrial size plastic bags and lay them out in the sun so the bugs can heat up and die…I used whtie plastic bags.. and bought some plastic storage containers to store my clean laundry and she was like it’s not good cuz they probably will crawl in anyways.. I am just going crazy! I just read so many different things I don’t know what to do. and I am worried about my cat. And am not too crazy about the exterminator coming back again in two weeks to spray cuz then we will have to leave again for 6 hours .. and i have no money to take her to the vet to hang out. And i have also read horrible things about pets getting sick because of the bug spray.. HELP PLEASE I AM DESPERATE!
Hello thanks for your prompt response. It is NOT the kind for swimming pools. http://www.pcsoutdoors.com/saferbrandantandcrawlingdiatomaceousearthinsectkiller4lbpowder5170b.aspx
This is a link that shows which one I bought.
So tomorrow I will get a mask and vacuum it. Should I put more of it down again? did i just used it excessively? There is this whole ordeal (legally) going on in the building already. The cheap ass landlord is just stretching it. I just wanted to do something extra between now and the next time the pest control guy comes back.
Anybody have any other suggestions on how to properly store linens and clothes? Do i have to consider saran wrapping the containers shut?
Renting an apartment am I responsible to pay an Orkin bill that treated for bed bugs?

I am currently renting an apartment that became infested with bed bugs! I complained to my apartment manager several times and they had Orkin come out and treat. They now want me to reimburse them for the Orkin bill stating that it was my responsiblity? Being as I didnt have a bed bug problem before I moved in there I feel that this is not my obligation to pay this bill. Am I legally responsible to pay this? And can I put my rent money into escrow until this issue is resolved?
Who is reponsible for paying for bed bug extermination?

I live in a 4 bedroom townhouse. We recently found bedbugs in the house which we immediately reported to our landlord. We do not have a written lease with our landlord, just an oral agreement that we will give each other 30 days notice before moving out. The security deposit 00 each. Our landlord is saying that it is our responsibility to pay for the treatment to the house. However, he informed us that 9 months prior to three of the roommates moving in, there was a bed bug problem reported and two spray treatments done to the house. It’s clear that the treatments didn’t eradicate them since most of the bugs were concentrated in the one roommates room that was living in the residence when the first outbreak occurred. Who would be responsible to pay for the treatment? Also, 3 of the roommates had no prior knowledge of the problem before moving in.
1.) He told me about the bed bug issue after I moved it.
2.) There are 4 of us at the house, 3 of us had no prior knowledge that there was an issue one year ago with bed bugs. I have documentation that he paid for the first & second treatment 1 year ago.
3.) The bugs are on every level of the 3 level townhouse.
Correction: The landlord only told the newer roommates about the bed bug issue only now since it’s a problem again.
Can bed bugs die of alcohol poisoning?
Posted by admin on May 30th, 2010

I have a bed bug problem in my apartment. I have been getting bit. So my logic is, alcohol is bad for the human body, therefore it is bad for a bed bug. I don’t know if that’s true. So if I drink alcohol, the alcohol goes in my blood, the bed bugs drink my blood, the bed bugs ingest the alcohol (which Im hoping will be a lethal dose considering their size), and die. Plausible?
Do bug bombs…(Help help help?)?

…really work?
Hey everyone.
Unfortunately, I’ve got a bed bug problem. The weird thing? They’re not hiding in my mattress. My guess is they’re hiding behind a loose molding in my room. Pathetically, I tried RAID. Of all things. Raid. Stupid ol’ raid. Thats right. It didn’t work. Now, all of my bedding is going in the washer/dryer, so that’s been taken care of. I know they can be INSIDE the mattress as well, because I don’t want to take any chances, I am going to get an encasement for my mattress very, very soon. But because the raid did not work, I want to try a bug bomb first, before I call the exterminator; if needed. Do bug bombs work? how do I use it? are there any other alternative ways on getting rid of bed bugs, before I call the exterminator? And I hear there is a type of lotion that kills bed bugs, what you do is put it on your body like a regular moistrizer, and if the bedbugs try to bite you, it will die from the moistrizer. Is it true? Also, how much would it be to call an exterminator? Thanks so much for the help!
Mark, I think you have fleas.

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

Do I have bed bugs or just an allergic reaction?

Today I noticed two irritating welts on my back. they were right next to eachother. I have an irritated rash on my hand to. This started after I put this cheap thermal blanket I had yet to open on my bed. They had been packaged for a year, and my stupidity didnt wash them. Ive been researching bed bugs signs, and inspected my bed. I didnt see any blood nor did I see signs of bed bugs. Could I just be having an allergic reaction to those sheets? Or do I have a bed bug problem?

what to do about bed bug eggs!!?
Posted by admin on September 15th, 2009

We have a bed bug problem in our apartment!
I’ve only seen two (live) bed bugs, but the gross part is their tiny, white sand-like eggs are all over my bed frame. The eggs are like wedged in-between the wood where I can’t get to them!
How do we get rid of this problem? The only way I can scrape out the eggs is to literally break my bed frame in half! We’re trying to spray things inside the crack; I tried Febreeze, will that kill the eggs?
Please please help us, we’ve never had bed bugs ever before!
I’m totally freaking out about the idea of sleeping on top of a whole community of disgusting little parasites, HELP!
I can’t afford to throw away my bed!
Will Lysol kill them?
Also can’t afford exterminator; omg is this situation worse than fleas??
Is it smart to spray for bed bugs BEFORE you move in?

I live in Brooklyn, where, unfortunately, there is a severe bed bug problem. I’ve been lucky enough to live here for 2 years without being infested. (knock on wood.) However, so many friends who have had the pests have freaked me out so much that I’m considering getting the apartment I’m about to move into fumigated or sprayed even though there seem to be no sign of the buggers.
Is there a downside to this, other than cost? Or a better way to keep from getting bed bugs while moving?
Are bed bugs attacking everyone these days?

We had a problem with bedbugs last summer, and I thought I got rid of them – after a major cleaning, fumagating, linnen and pillow bagging, covering mattresses with vinyl, etc.
They came back. I’m not the best housekeeper in the world, but we have other bug problem. Our cats and dogs have no fleas. I know these things are bedbugs – I took a close look with a magnifying glass and compared with pictures of the darn things in books.
Will an exterminator get rid of them for good? Any advice, commiseration, war stories will be appreciated!
That’s NO other bug problem.

Recently my family and I have returned from a cruise. However, i started recognizing a bed bug problem when i got 5 bites in one night. Over a week later, my family has gotten 5-10 each except me while i got one and it went away. i need to find answers to these 2 questions.
1. Can you gain immunity from bed bugs? I read it was true but wasn’t sure.
2. Are there any active ways besides calling an exterminator or any good products to treat bites and kill bugs? please provide links.
thanks for looking.
Can I really kill bed bugs with Diatomaceous Earth?
Posted by admin on July 15th, 2009

I moved into an apartment with a serious bed bug problem, left by the previous owners. now I’ve heard of Diatomaceous Earth and how it can kill all sorts of bugs, but people are praising it with a little too much enthusiasm. It’s making me nervous. I need to know, does Diatomaceous Earth really kill bed bugs. is it safe around my cat? Is it harmful if inhaled? if it’s safe, where can I get it and how do I apply it? the sooner the answer, the better off I’ll be.
