Can you die from spraying bug spray on the floor of your house?

Posted by admin on October 8th, 2011

Terminix sent me a bottle of this special spray to spray for bugs. Well last night before bed I sprayed it all over my floors. It said it was safe for kids and dogs. I woke up in the middle of the night and the house stunk horrible. This morning I woke up and bleached my entire house.

Will this make me really sick??

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.

HOW DO I KILL DUST MITES?

Posted by admin on March 6th, 2011

I have dust mites upstairs and had an exterminator here, but after three days the bugs came back. It is hotter upstairs so I have no bugs downstairs. I live in Arizona where it is very hot.

One way to kill them is to freeze them. Is there any type of spray that I could buy that would tend to freeze the bugs. They are heavy in the mattress.

Thank you.

How is it possible for 10 little crickets to be in the center of my bed under my sheets, in a well made bed?

Posted by admin on December 7th, 2010

When I was little, about 6 years old, we had many neighbors friends that had kids also. We played with them and hung out together. One weekend my family and I went away for the weekend, which was pretty typical. When we got beck from this excursion, it was at night and when I went to go to bed I pulled back the sheets and there was a cricket my bed! I called for my Dad and told him there was a bug in my bed, so he killed it and got rid of it, and then he told me to go to bed, and to not worry there were not any more bugs. Then as I pulled back the sheets some more there were 10 little black crickets all bunched up together in the middle of my bed.
How did those crickets get in my bed and where do you think they came from? I never though about that experience for sometime, but now I am thinking that maybe neighbors had placed them there. I was a very pretty little girl and maybe they were spiteful. I was a good, polite and kind little girl. What do you think happened and or where or how did those crickets get into my bed? I and my family are still friends with the neighbors. I don’t think they would fess up to braking and entering into to our home to do this. What is your opinion?
Please no insulting comments, I find this disturbing. Don’t you? I thought these people were our friends! What do you make of it? Is it possible for all those crickets to get under my well made bed, under sheets, blankets and a bed spread?
To tell you the truth, I don’t remember if it was a weekend, a week or even two weeks. How long does it take for crickets to hatch and grow?
And also, how many little crickets do adult crickets typically have?
These little crickets were not super small, they were a little bit longer than a 1/4 inch in length.

Posted by admin on November 7th, 2010

Okay, I don’t have bedbugs, but I’m worried that I’ll get them. If I get them, before calling the exterminators over should I sleep on the floor in a sleeping bag or does it not matter? I don’t want those creepy bugs getting anywhere near me.

how do you keep bugs out of your room/house?

Posted by admin on November 7th, 2010

I seem to have lots of bugs in my room and I can’t stand little things crawling around especially spiders. I was watching a movie and I spotted one right by my laptop and I freaked! I scratched up my arm really bad on the bed jerking it away. Ever since I saw pictures of racluse bites I’ve been freaked out. Don’t know if that’s how you spell it. But anyways I live in a very small dorm room and what do you guys recommend to get rid or kill most of them? Right now I use 4 sticky pads scattered around the room and I’ve caught a lot but I know there’s more. Please help this 6′3, adult, male, soldier deal with these tiny things!!!

What kind of bug is infesting my house?

Posted by admin on October 6th, 2010

I am the only person in my house thats being bitten. I haven’t seen any bugs, but I’ve got bites all over the back of my thigh, the left of my thigh, and my lower back. 3 Other people live in this house and nothing bites them. I sleep in the livingroom, on the couch, and it seems like when i’m sitting at my computer, or sitting on my couch, i’m constantly itching, and later bites seem to appear. I can sometimes feel them on me, but I don’t know if I’m psyching myself out or not, and everytime i check to see if theres a bug, theres nothing there. I’ve tried bug bombing, I’ve tried bed bug sprays, I’ve tried flea bombing/sprays. I can’t seem to find any bugs. Some of the bites get infected and become really painful. I can’t take it anymore, I might have to move out of my apartment due to this. Please let me know if you have an idea of what might be bitting me, and how to get rid of it! Thanks.

I found a bug in my bed??? Possibly a maggot??? Please HELP!!?

Posted by admin on October 3rd, 2010

Ok, so I was taking a nap in my bed, when all of a sudden I felt something crawling on my hand. When I looked, I screamed (lol, I’m VERY afraid of bugs) and I shook it off my hand. I got up and it landed on my pillow so I started to look for my glasses so I could see it and get rid of the bug. Welll, I couldn’t find my glasses so I ran outside to my dad. He was talking to my neighbor so I waited, and when we finally went back in my room it was gone.
Anyway, we couldn’t find it, and right now I’m cleaning up my room.

What could the maggot-like thing be? It was sorta fat, not very long (about a centimeter), orange-ish-white and I don’t think it could fly. Oh, btw, I do eat in my room, it’s really hot in here (although I have the ceiling fan on), and it’s sorta messy, because I’m in the process of "reorganizing" my room.

What could this bug be and how can I prevent more from hatching? And also, how can I kill or lure the bug(s) away naturally? Any advice is great.
oh, btw, I only saw one.

also, I saw a fruit fly (or gnat?? those little flies with the red centers) in my room because my mom threw out some bananas and my sister left my door open so it got in…. If that means anything…
oh, and don’t worry, im not sleeping in my room tonight!! xD

Feeling like getting bitten by bugs constantly…?

Posted by admin on September 7th, 2010

Is it psychological or physical?

A few months ago I discovered a poisonous spider, a brown recluse, in my bed. I killed it. But ever since then with the knowledge poisonous spiders are living in my bedroom, I’ve been experiencing crazy things.

It doesn’t help I found a spider crawling on the couch weeks later the incident, either.

It even came down to a couple times when I get up and go to the kitchen or restroom and I hallucinate swarms of gnats are flying EVERYWHERE around me, and moments later disappear. They don’t scare me since I know it’s an illusion, but it’s still freaky.

I always feel a twinge of PAIN or an intense itch as if a spider is biting me or if some other bug is biting me. I also feel like bugs are CRAWLING on me.

I feel a "bite" on my arm, and nothing is there. Just the feeling of getting bitten by invisible bugs.

I get "bitten" everywhere. Particularly my legs, back, arms, and chest. I actually was bitten by an ant when I woke up one morning, but that’s long taken care of.

How do I get rid of this problem? Am I psychologically disturbed? I’m just tired of being "bitten" and "crawled on" by non-existant bugs!!! >_<

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?]

How do I kill a bug that's hiding in my room?

Posted by admin on August 22nd, 2010

okay, well this morning, i brushed my teeth, washed up and then came back to my room and BAM, there was a cricket thing on my wall next to my bed. It wasn’t really a cricket since it didn’t make any chirping sounds, but i don’t know. well, i call my mom to kill it but when she got there, the bug disappeared(this happens to me like ALL the time).
and now it’s in my room somewhere(there’s actually 2 bugs, but i’ll figure the 2nd bug out later)
I have a messy room, so i’m definatly cleaning my room once every week if it makes the bugs go away. now the real problem is, I will NOT sleep in my room until i know that those two bugs are DEAD. i mean, i had school and stuff so the bug could’ve crawled its way out of my room by now, but how am I going to find it? How can i attract them so I can kill it in one shot? Will food do? Or lights?
oh yeah, and I’m deathly afraid of bugs. I hate hate HATE them. D:
somebody help me :\

bed bugs, how to get rid of? who to call?

Posted by admin on August 12th, 2010

Ok, so ive tried 91% alcohol. And i mean gallons of it for about a month now. it really does kill them but only on spot. im so sick of this. i bought a mattress set about 4 months ago, and noticed i started getting bit the same night after i bought them. we just bought the house we moved in about 4.5 months ago and i wasnt getting bit. until that night we bought the mattress set. ive never had this problem before in my life. im so sick of it. its a very small house only 7 rooms total. i really want to get a professional to come help me with this problem but would like to get some input, most people say they are too expensive. most say they dont work and to do it yourself. well ive tried the bedbug powder the cedar oil and 91% alcohol. trust me ive used it so much! please all input will help. im in need of advice! ASAP. oh yeah i also have vaseline lining the door ways the bed frame everything!
yes i a really good green machine vaccum. lol everyday i leave it outside with a black trash bag over it. its been over 100 for about 3 days this week and more the weeks before. ive read that 113 degrees will kill these darn bugs. once again im up at 2 in the morning. wiping and spraying rubbing alcohol all over my house. im starting to think the only thing left to do is leave my house for oh id say a few years! the orkin man is coming on monday. if that doesnt help then i have no clue. i feel so bad for people that have to deal with this. somebody just told me that a very harsh termite killer will do the trick, but they said if you get it on your skin it can cause cancer. im willing but i dont know how willing.
