Is our cat in danger?

We used it twice over a few days. Now I am reading it is highly toxic to cats. She even slept on a treated bed last night. She us showing no signs that she has been affected by it, but I am paranoid.

I bought a new mattress about 3 weeks ago and just a few days ago I noticed these tiny ant like (but not ants) bugs with black wings in my bed. I only see them one at a time and they are only on the bed, nowhere else in the house.

They are about a half a centimeter long, very skinny, black, have segments like an ant but the last segment is really long. They also have black wings but I’ve never seen them fly. They’re really fast so I end up just killing them before I can get a picture.

I’ve checked my kids and had my husband check me for any signs of lice, fleas, etc. Nothing. They look nothing at all like fleas, mites, bed bugs or lice.

I live in Texas if that makes any difference. Any idea what these are or how to kill them? I’m chemically sensitive so any advice on debugging a bed naturally?

I’ve already called the mattress store. It’s one of the major chains who claim to be "experts" if you catch my drift. They said it’s too late for them to help. Maybe something laid eggs that are just now hatching?

Because I’ve been losing my tan and just remembered that my mattress hasn’t been vacuumed for a really long time. My blankets too. When I was at my brothers house, it would take at least a week to start losing my tan and it was only a few days when I went back to my bed 2 days and I’m the skin color I was naturally..

I moved into an apartment in November and started getting bitten by an unknown insect causing allergic reactions, and reported that to the front office, they have not followed up since they said they were going to send in an exterminator, and the bites have continued unless I set off a fogger every few days. Since then I have found a dead bed bug.

i have woken up the last few days and my back has been itchy and a few bites. How do you know if you have bed bugs?

My mother has them in her apartment and I seemed to have bought them with me to my own apartment. About two weeks ago i noticed 5 bites in one particular area on my ankle. Thought it was just an allergic reaction to something. Then two days later i saw 6 more bites on the same leg. By then i was thinking i could have bed bugs. After this incident, i have not been bitten for a few days. Today, i finally saw one crawling in my sheets. Could this be the only one that has been biting me and not my husband? have considered the fact that i do visit my mother’s apartment frequently, the fact that i only got the bites and my husband has not, and that they are only in my room. Could i just have a few? maybe the one i found today and killed was the main one that bit me

As for exterminating them, i have gotten plastic covers for my mattress, put my clothes in plastic bags and will be cleaning my entire room with Clorox, including my mattress.
i forgot to mention that
i moved this new apartment in a new house a 1 yr ago and have only noticed the bed bug for about 2 weeks. Since its a new apartment i don’t have much furniture in my room except a wooden tv stand, a tv, and a closet that has sliding wooden doors.

so a few days ago i had 3 bites on my arm, the first bites i EVER noticed. i saw no signs of bugs. last night me and my mom stripped my bed (cause we’re really OCD) and found 5 baby bed bugs and one adult, which freaked us out, cause i have only been bit the one time. today we threw everything on my bed in the dryer for an hour, vacuum my bed and emptying the vacuum, and are spraying everything with this bed bug spray we bought at some bed bug store. do you think this will be enough to kill the eggs- as we think there must only have been the pregnant mom and then she laid eggs and thats why we found so many babies at one time cause they just hatched?.. idk, what do you think- were freaking out!

I have small children, one that is handy capped and can not afford to move out my house for a few days if I call a pesticide company or if I choose to put out bombs in the bedrooms.

I am looking for something that really works, I don’t have to leave my home and is safe for the kids.

Any help would be appreciated. I have seen some companies on the internet advertise for non toxic safe solutions; but do these really work?

Ok, so around the beginning of February I moved into my Aunt’s house. She doesn’t have much money and it’s not the cleanest place. In the inconvenient situation, me, my twin sister, and my two cousins all had to share a bunk bed. The matresses were old… I slept on the bottom and my sister slept on the top.

After a few days I started to notice red itchy spots on my feet and arms, then I eventually got a few basically everywhere. After one night of sleeping on the bottom bunk, my sister, who didn’t have any bumps, started getting the bumps. They’re your typical bed bug bites. Some of them were in clusters of three. We went to the doctors who comfirmed them as bed bugs.

My question: Why didn’t either of my cousins get them? My other cousin, who always slept in the bottom bunk (which had the worse infestation) never got them. Was is because they had been living there for a long time and their bodies were used to it?

We are moving to a new (bed bug free) apartment in a few days from a pretty severely infested older apartment.We do NOT want to bring these horrible things with us. We are not bringing any furniture. Just our clothes (which will be washed in hot water before hand), our dvds and tapes and our electronics. I know how to treat everything else, but not the electronics. Help!?!?!? If I leave my computer outside overnight in the cold (wrapped in plastic of course) is there a chance it won’t work? I really need some answers!

Thanks,
Sam

I discovered bed bugs in our new home about a month ago, I went online and followed plenty of advice; how ever spraying 6 matresses with alcohol, vacumming everything and washing all bedding I am still finding a couple insects every few days.
I have 5 children and take pride in keeping their rooms in perfect condition. We don’t alow clutter in our house so why have we been infested by these horrible insects? What is safe to use around children and their matresses that will kill these bugs permanently?

See we had bedbugs last year. We got it from our neighbor.
You don’t think I know that to call the exterminator. Not only they came once but twice. Throwing furniture is not going to work, they can still hide in the cracks Its not our fault we have bedbugs, our neighbor was infested with them, there are like hundred of them in their apartment. (I am not kidding). After that the whole floor is infested with bedbugs. We got rid of it by ourselves; we were bedbugs free for eight months.
Bedbugs travel from one apartment from another. They hide someone else while the exterminator do there stuff, few days later they back again. Yesterday I saw the exterminator came to one of my neighbor and she is infested with bedbugs. Guess where the bedbugs go? My apartment!
I searched online that boric acid will help and to cover cracks.

Ok… a few weeks ago I started getting horrible bites at night. After realizing that they weren’t mosquito bites, I started reading and concluded that they are most likely bed bugs. I didn’t see any bugs, even after inspecting my bedroom, until a few days ago… but the bug I saw did not look like the pictures of bed bugs I see online. It is more narrow, and it doesn’t have those horizontal ridges I see in the pics. I trapped one and showed the pest control guy for our apartment, and he said it didn’t look like a bed bug… more like a weevil (which is a pantry pest). I agree, and so does my husband, but weevils do not bite, at least from what I’ve read. So now I’m seeing these little bugs every once in a while, and I don’t know what to do. I don’t really trust this apartment pest guy because he hasn’t even gotten back to me yet (he took the bug so he could research and try to identify it), and that was 4 days ago. I have no peace of mind that this is going to be taken care of, and I can’t even sleep. I want to move away and throw out everything I own. Someone please help me! I’m going insane! Are there different types of bedbugs that look different? I’m on the internet all day every day trying to figure this out.

Or do I need to call an exterminator. A few days ago I woke up with a random rash looking thing on my stomach, then again a couple days after that. My friends thought it was bed bugs so I decided to take my sheets off and check my mattress and sheets. I havent found a live bug, but after research I do think I have seen the shells of the bugs. Any suggestions?
