So, I just found this can of soda in my room near my window sill. When I went to pick it up, tons of ants came crawling out of the top. So I grabbed the copy of tuck everlasting off my night stand and abruptly covered the top of the can. After that I brought the can outside and chucked it across my yard. When I went back into my house, there were about 10 ants on my window sill. And mind you, these are fairly large ants. As soon as I saw the ants, I immediately burst into tears and made my dad get the bug killing spray and spray my room. So what I am trying to get across here is, I was wondering if anybody had the same fear of ants, If so how do you cope, and I was also wondering if this is a normal fear for a fifteen year old girl. I just want to know how to fix my fears so I can actually get some sleep without the thought of a million ants infesting my ears and crawling in my sheets. Talk about your regular bed bugs! Anyways, help me if you can, please. Thank you.

My dad left my matress outside to dry after washing it when I spilled something on it. I left it outside for a good part of the afternoon and a nd a little bit of the morning, but now, I’m concerned with the likelyhood of bedbugs. What are the odds of bedbugs making their way into my matress?

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.

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?

ok so yesterday i woke up with 4 bumps on my arm which i thought were mosquito bites but then they were raised higher than mozzie bites and looked a little more red. i decided it wasnt anything to worry abt and then i saw an adult bed bug crawling on my WHITE bed sheet. u can imagine my horror! i managed to smash it in a tissue and the stuff that came out was brown not red. i looked around the bed for more bgs but cant seem to find any. i’ve slept on the bed 2 times since then and i’ve had no new bites. is it possible that it’s only 1 bed bug that was present and i killed it?

i’m not very rich and really can’t afford to get exterminators plus my room is really cluttered and it’s going to be a nightmare to clean EVERYTHING. Please don’t reply with scary answers. I hated sleeping on the bed the last 2 times ( an afternoon nap and one over night) but since nothing has showed up on my bed or on my skin…. is it safe to assume that it was just one bug? i feel itchy just thinking abt them.

also… anyone with any cheap solution to clear them out? my dad suggesting putting garlic arond the edges of the bed. i don’t knw abt u but i’m not sure abt how i’de feel sleeping in a bed smelling like garlic. my boyfren doesnt seem to care so this is up to me to solve. does diluted dettol spred arnd the edges of the bed work?? pls help guys…

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

I am extremely paranoid of the bed bug epidemic going around. We don’t have many travellers/guests in our house and it’s just me, my mom, and my dad. However, my mom’s job involves working with underprivileged clients and a couple of them have bed bugs. She goes into their homes very rarely, but she transports them in her car that has leather seats. I’m just wondering if bed bugs could transfer onto her clothes or car?

Ok well i first noticed that i got bug bites wen i first woke up on Sunday (a day or 2 before i changed my sheets.) I asked my dad about it and he just said it was probably allergies. The next night i did not get any bites. But the nghts after that i hav noticed bites on different parts of my body. So far its been like 4 nights and i’ve only gotten 10 bites. Do i have bed bugs? I don’t notice any stains on my sheets.

How do i get rid of bed bugs? i have ordered some spray but is there anything that i can just put down near where they are that will atrract them and then kill them when they go to it, like those things for ants
also, the bed bugs arent just on my bed, i transferred them to my couch unknowingly and then my dad transfered them from the couch to his bed also, they could be on the ground in several places too

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!

I bought some new mattreses for my parents and we’ve always put them out in the sun but a few weeks later we found bed bugs hiding underneath the sides of the mattress eventhough we put the mattress in the sun. My Dad even had to get rid of his mattress cause we couldn’t get rid of the bed bugs.
