Hi,
Recently I was invaded with bed bugs, and I need some advice on how to solve this problem. Also during the same time been I have been witnessing cockroaches running around the place. Do you think there related in any way or even enemies? Well I need anyone help to solve this problem, and I would be very grateful if anyone could help me with my troubles.

Sincerely,
MNM

okay, i should give some background cause dreams are of the subconscious mind. i don’t exactly have a home. and im having trouble shortening my life already and i havent even started. i dont live with my parents, i havent lived with my mom since i was 9 and i havent lived with my dad since i was 14. ever since then i have lived in foster homes and programs and dss. just a few years back i lived with my moms old best friend. i was very close to her so felt like a mom to me but it became a dependent abusive relationship where she made me do everything for her and mentally and emotionally abused me. so on july 4th of last summer i finally left her. ever since then i felt like i havent had a home. im 19 now. i live with my aunt but im never home. all my stufff is basically in thee back hallway and the rest is in my cousins room. and when i sleep at home i sleep in his bed and he sleeps on the couch. he bugs me about wanting his room back all the time. so i stay at my boyfriends house 6 nights a week. my boyfriend is the best thing thats ever happened to me. i love him so much and we mutually want to be together forever. i know things dont usually last forever but our relationship is the only strong solid thing we both have in our lives. our year anniversary is coming up on december 9th. anyways, we both are trying to get an apartment together soon. i have a job at target but im not sure if im gonna keep it after the holidays. he has a minimum wage job too. but i also get triple the money he makes cuz i get dss money every 2 weeks. i make about 1300 a month. and he makes 800. like i said im bad at shortening my life.
the dream: i was at his house but it wasnt really his house. but it was suppose to be. and i went to go lie down in bed. not our bed, his moms bed. and after laying in bed for a few minutes, i realized there were all dead cockroaches, well so i thought they were cockroches. i got up and brushes them all off me. they felt so like hard, like little pieces of rock stuck to me. then theyre was one cockroach, which im sure was a cockroach alive. i had to get that off of me too. i started screaming and flipping out.to who, i dont actually know. that wasnt important in the dream. then a bug that looked like a small spider but with really long skinny legs (not as long as a daddy long legs) flew over to me and planted a chip under my skin. it had almost like a sneaky government feeling. like i was being controlled or watched by someone. cuz someone had to be behind the "chip." then i woke up.
i was and am still very very disturbed. i cant shake off the sensation of bugs being on me or on the bed. im so disgusted and i know this has to mean something. when i searched what cockroaches looked like, the dead bugs were no cockroaches, but that one alive one was. im not very good at bugs or how they look different from each other. i just know if its a bug, kill it. so all the dead cockroaches were actually dead grasshoppers. so what does this mean? if anyone can help?

Me and my brother live in this studio apartment and we have just found out we had bed bugs. I was wondering what we could do to get rid of them because we cant count on our landlord to do anything we had told our landlord 2 weeks ago we had cockroaches and water bugs and he just brought us something to get rid of them. We are planning to move out so we need to know how to get rid of them so we dont take them with us. We have to break contract this is to much for me and my brother.
we have every right to break contract we have bugs and it is his responsibility he owns the building not us. hes not taking care of the problem

Bugs make me cringe!! Water-bugs/cockroaches,silverfish and beetles! The reason why I hate those bugs they look and sound disgusting! I am always scared of a bug getting in my bed and waking up on me! I always was scared of bugs. I am so scared even if I hear or see a cockroach I run in my room, close the door, put a towel on the crack of the door, call my mom’s cellphone and tell her to kill it and until she does that I would never come out!

First of all are exterminator use to come every 6th months but now its July and our exterminator hasn’t came to our house since December!

I started having this phobia when I was sitting on the couch and a silverfish crawled on my arm! I was so terrified that I was crying and screaming took off my clothes jump into the shower and scrubbed my arm so hard my arm was red. After that bugs were everywhere! There were water-bugs and silverfish in the sink and tub that now I am scared to look at the tub and sink! Then with the roach and beetles, my aunt had a bad case of roaches and they were everywhere in the tub,toilet, even the cabinet! One day I opened up the cabinet an roaches fell on me! I started crying and stayed in the car!

I hate bugs with hard shells cause when you step on them they sound all crunchy and gooey stuff comes out of it that makes me scared to even kill it! Plus they are so fast and they can get everywhere!! I have to overcome my fear because bugs are everywhere there isn’t going to be one place where they isn’t bugs even in hotels! It is horrible living like this! I scared to sit on the floor, sit on the couch, put my feet on the ground, I can’ wear my shoes without thinking there is a bug in it so I have to check it, I can’t go outside, I can’t leave the door open without hurrying up and close it, I can’t even tumble outside without thinking I am going to land on a bug!! I CAN’T EVEN LOOK AT A PICTURE OF A BUG! The sound they make when they are stepped on, how they look, how they move, how they are shaped, the color!! ITS FREAKING ME OUT!!

I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LONG MESSAGE BUT..i need help! please minutes ago I woke up my mom to kill a bug in my dog’s room and the beetle was crawling on his water dish! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me please!
Thank You!

Very nicely done JAFQ…unfortunately, people don’t realize how serious this problem is going to get.
Correction…JAFO

I have been doing pest control for over thirty years…in the last 3 years, we are seeing Bed bug issues become a major priority. Use to be cockroaches.

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!

I live in a dumpy part of Los Angeles. The exterminator has been here multiple times the bed bugs and cockroaches never disappear. I’m unemployed right now with no source of income minus cans and bottles.

Ever since a few years ago, I have had a huge phobia of bugs. Every type of bug you can think of, I’m scared of. I don’t know how or why it started, but it’s a pain in the butt.

Normally it hasn’t been much of a problem. If there’s a fly, wasp, or spider in the room I’ll still kill it. But…cockroaches. I can’t kill cockroaches. I am petrified of them. I know I’m way bigger of them and they can’t possibly harm me, but that doesn’t help.

I was in my bed when I noticed an odd shadow on my curtain (there’s a street light outside, so I can see a lot). I turned on the light and discovered that it was a cockroach. The window is right above my bed, so naturally I flew out of that room. I got the bug swatter (no spray; we’ve never had problems with bugs before – especially cockroaches) and went back to my room. I tried to face it, I really did, but every time I got near the thing fluttered its wings and started to fly. The thought of it flying at my face…I ran away and cried. I still am.

It’s been about an hour now, and I really need to get to bed. But the thought of going back there terrifies me. What should I do? The only solution I can think of is sleeping on the couch, but I won’t be able to go to sleep knowing that thing is in the house.
Matt: I thought of doing that, but my Dad has to wake up in two hours and my brother has to wake up in three. My Mom is just starting work on Friday, too, so…I guess I’ll just have to wait until my Dad gets up.
stripe: I’ve never thought of that before. That’s a really good idea!

At first I thought they were bedbugs but then one spread its wings & started flying so that ruled that option out. I found each on two separate occasions. I need to know how they got in my covers and what I need to do to get rid of them. I can’t sleep comfortable thinking there might be more somewhere in my mattress.. can anyone help??
Cockroaches don’t fly do they? This bug is as small as a fruit fly. I haven’t woken up with any type of bite that I’ve noticed…
i live in Los Angeles
***the bug might look large in pictures but it’s only around 2.5 millimeters (0.1 inches) like an ant or fruit fly… around that size***
I was looking at the website from the link below…. it looks a lot like a raspberry fruitworm…. I wonder if that’s what it is!

I really appreciate all your help =)

In my Grandma’s apartment building, she had bed bugs. However i nor she knows where they came from. She is a neat freak and always spraying around the house. She lives in the ‘project’ however, she has the most cleanest and pest free apartment within it. How could she have ever gotten a "bed Bugs" if not even a single cockroach has been spotted within my Grandmothers apartment? (and believe me, there she is cockroaches with others apartments)
