Is it safe to use bug spray in my bedroom on a regular basis?

Posted by admin on September 17th, 2011

I saw a spider in my bed yesterday, so I sprayed bug spray in the corners of my room and around my bed. I cracked the window to get rid of the fumes so I wouldn’t be breathing that as I slept. Is it safe to spray it around my bedroom on a weekly to fend off spiders or is there something natural that works (I’m petrified of them!)?
I thought bug killer and bug spray was the same thing?

How do I get rid of bed bugs?

Posted by admin on September 14th, 2011

Since about a week or so ago, I’ve gotten bug bites all over my body. Yesterday, my father woke up with bed bugs ALL OVER THE COUCH. We’ve stripped every bed and couch in this house of its bedding, and have yet to find any bed bugs anywhere except for on the couch. We’ve searched and searched again, and hope not to find any more.

We’ve scrubed and sprayed down the couch with some bug spray that specializes in killing bed bugs, and an exterminator is stopping by tomorrow morning to spray the entire first floor… But how can I do my best to gaurantee that the bugs don’t spread? They don’t seem to be anywhere but on and around the couch, but I really just want to be sure. They’re disgusting little things, and it doesn’t help the matter that I’m deathly afraid of even the most harmless bugs. :(

So, are there any steps I could take?

what does it mean when i wake up with bug bites, but my spouse who shares the same bed does not?

Posted by admin on May 10th, 2011

A couple of months ago I started waking up with bug bites which itch, they look like mosquito bites. The weirdest thing is that my spouse does not and we sleep in the same bed! I changed the bed sheets, sprayed bug spray around our bedroom, and every other morning I still wake up with a new bug bite. Again, only I get these itchy things that look like a mosquito bites and Im starting to think I have bugs in my body.
Can anyone give me a medical explanation for this? Is this normal or do I have human lice???
the bites that i get are more like mosquito bites and they appear in random places on my body(like i have one on the tip of my nose and another on my leg and two on my arm) NOT in groups of 3-4. And they are red bumps, there is not sign of an actual bite.

Is it safe to wear Avon's bug spray after showering and to bed?

Posted by admin on March 10th, 2011

Is it ok to use the "new" avon bug spray after I shower and go to bed with it on? I don’t like to leave the DEET stuff on me and after I shower I always get bitten by one or two mosquitoes in the house. I don’t want to go to bed with DEET on so I am looking for something that doesn’t stink but is safe to wear to go to bed. Before I go around town hunting for ingredients to make my own, I’d like to know if the avon stuff is ok for this purpose before I try to make my own.
I don’t wear it just for bed. I don’t shower right before I go to bed, especially if I have to wash my hair, so when I’m just around the house afterwards, I get bit. I want to know what I can wear that is safe that doesn’t need to be washed off and I can put on after I shower that will keep them off. I live in FL and am tired of wearing pants :( it’s really really really hot.

How many chemicals does it take to kill bed bugs?

Posted by admin on December 28th, 2010

I just want to know. I thought about tide, rubbing alcohol, lysol, windex, bug spray, etc. I wonder if a combinations of lysol and windex or tide with Clorox beach or any of it could kill them. I also would like to know if washing dark and delicate clothes (as well pinks) with hot water would be a good idea (I usually do that with my whites) because I heard that hot water will kill them. And should I wash my clean clothes just in case? I’d like to know if I should wash my mattress as well as my bed spring and bed frame, cover it up for a year, or to toss it. Anyway, my hair and my skin have been itching for over a week and I stand it anymore. Even if I take a shower, it still itches and it seems like welts and rashes on my body. What should I do to stop the itching? What products should I use to stop the itching of my hair and skin?

How do I keep bugs out of my home by using plants or natural things?

Posted by admin on September 4th, 2010

lol, ok so last night my sister and I went to sleep and we were talking about scary bug stories; next thing you know there is a tick in her bed!! We’re total city girls so it was a hasel to fall asleep since we both were panicing about any other bugs inside of the guest bedroom. We had no way to kill the bugs since there wasnt any bug spray and ontop of that the residue bug sprays leave behind isnt so pleasent. If anyone knows anything about keeping bugs out of our home, please help!! [i guess if u recommend any specific sprays that are unnatural, thatsz ok too; i mean we ought to carry some type of bugspray around, right?]

Am I using diatomaceous earth incorrectly to kill bed bugs?

Posted by admin on July 25th, 2010

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?

I think I have the bed bugs? How is it possible?

Posted by admin on April 10th, 2010

For the past 3 or 4 weeks I have woken up with these mysterious bites that keep appearing every morning when I wake up. I thought they were mosquito bites that came from my bus stop every morning. So I just ignored it for a couple of days, but more and more came in. My cats also had the fleas at the time, but when my mom analyzed the bites, they were too big to be flea bites. Every morning I woke up, I would get more and more bites by the minute. That’s when I started wearing bug spray. I sprayed some on my body before I went to school, but the next morning more bites came in. I was shocked. Most of the bites appeared to be on my feet and ankles. My mom said if it’s not the fleas, they are bed bugs. I learned that bed bugs usually come in when you’re dirty. I don’t see how that’s possible because I take showers every day, and if I eat in my room, I’d pick up the food. So, I bombed my room twice, vacuumed my room and my mattress from head to toe, washed my sheets, and used bug spray, and absolutely nothing helped whatsoever. I even tried making my own bed out of clean pillows, sheets and a sleeping bag, and I lasted without bugs for only 2 days. After 2 days, they fed on me even in my clean pillows and sheets. How many tries does it take to kill these little bastards? Would changing the sheets work?

I am so sick and tired of waking up every morning with new bites! What do I do to kill them? Thank you.
My room is clean, I cleaned it like 5 times already!

bed bugs or fleas? people with experience please help?

Posted by admin on February 26th, 2010

ok i am constantly being bitten by bugs in my apartment. I see them crawling on my bed and at first i thought they were bed bugs. I got mad because my mattress was bought new and is only 2 years old and i thought i would have to throw it away. Then someone told me they could possible be fleas from the other residents who have pets. I have ALOT of residents with pets. They told me you rarely ever see bed bugs you just get bites and see evident like bed bug poop on your bed. Yes, i have seen dark marks on the outside of my mattress but these things come out in bright daylight and they don’t really take the courtesy to hide. They just come and get me! I have seen them in the corners of my room dead cuz i sprayed a little bug spray the other night. i have even seen a few in the living room coming to get me! I was on the couch and yes two of them were under me , i turned on the light and saw them , turned my head for two secs to get some thing to kill em’ and they were gone. they mostly concentrate in the room either on the carpet or bed ( mostly bed). When i first noticed them i got bites all over my body while in bed. I broke out in hives and a first i thought i had some terrible disease and consulted a nurse who also thought they were hives. my whole arms were covered in bruise like bites ( large) and very very itchy. All my legs and just about everywhere. I have seen the bugs that did this too me and they are brown, flat, and about 1/4 of an inch in thickness. I can’t even sleep peacefully anywhere in the apartment wit these blood thirsty monsters around. What are they, and when will the leave my bedroom so i can enjoy my new bed???? How can i KILL these suckers??

Help!!! Small black insects are all over my bathroom.?

Posted by admin on October 1st, 2009

I recently found some insects in my bathroom they’re black in color. Very, very tiny a little bigger that the head of a pin. They are very slow moving and head or antenea looks like it’s in a Y shape. I tried throwing some water on a few of them to drown them since they are so small and I thought that killed them two minutes later a few were crawling back up the wall and one looked like it came out of the sink. I’ve looked everywhere online and can’t find out what they are I thought they were a micro-beetle, tick, or bed bug and they don’t look like any of them. Please help I want to find what they are if they are harmful and how to get rid of them. I haven’t tried bug spray yet but I’m about to.

How do I get rid of bed bugs / fleas / blood sucking insects?

Posted by admin on August 12th, 2009

Hi, Recently I have discovered myself getting biten by some kind of insect while I was sleeping since about the beginning of this year. The biten place became red, and it itchs and kind of hurts like a flea bite, however, there is no animals in my house. I accuse it was bed bugs because I mostly discovered the itchy-ness after I woke up.
I caught a flea ONCE in my dining room, which was the ONLY time that my other family member got biten. Other than that, none of my other family members got biten so I accuse it is in my room, so I don’t know if that was related to this.
I tried to change my bed sheet, and bug-sprayed my whole room. The biting disappeared for a month or two and it begin all again. It already re-happen 3 times and now I am afraid to sleep in my room.
What bug could be biting me, and how in the world am I going to kill these darn bugs for good?
Oh and, all the rooms in my house have carpet installed except the dining room and the kitchen
if it is laundry detergent, wouldn’t I got it all over my body? These itchy-pains are mainly on my legs and ankle. there was only one time that went on my body.
Plus, what would it look like if it was the laundry detergent?
Actually now that I think about it, I am NOT SURE if it is bug bites or not. I have NEVER caught any blood-sucking bugs in my room.
but after I sprayed my room I did stop getting red itchy and pain lumps for a while until it all start again
I tried Bug Fogger as well among with bug spray
