I saw few articles by some people online and they claim they managed to kill bed bugs with dettol. How true is this? I heard they cant be killed easily so thats why Im skeptical that dettol will do the job though I really hope it will. Has anyone tried it?

Do I really have to hire pest exterminator even though its mild infestation? Its really costly and there are no guarantee the bugs will disappear for good.

And how long should I wait after cleaning the room (discard old mattress and bed frames) before I can bring in the new ones so that the bugs will not infest in my new bed?
somehow i finally manage to try spraying some dettol on bed bugs. it kills them instanly. 3 were killed!

We have been experiencing bed bugs and roaches problems. We told the manager but he blamed us and he said we have to pay to get rid off them. Is it our job to do so or is it the managers responsibility???

ok last year i had bed bugs and i thought i got rid of it with bed bug spray, vacum, and bleaching, but i guess they laid eggs and all that stuff. So i just spray it with the spray again. and im gonna wash all my clothes, bedding, stuffed animals, etc tomorrow. i have a washing machine at home, so will that do the job. i usually just wash and hang it up to dry. and what kind of water should i use. hot or cold??
and should i wash my pillow? i have one of those therapeutic memory foam pillows.

My fiancee and I live in an apartment and we suddenly got bed bugs about 3 months ago. When we tell management about it they just do this half ass spray job at the walls.

Really would like a rough or exact temperature. I need to be able to kill bed bugs / eggs on contact. Help me out! I am moving out of my apartment because my building is infested and i was bitten multiple times the other day. but i want to make sure i dont bring any bugs with me to my new place!

steam apparently does the job but i dont want to spend to much money on a steam cleaner and this bissell is around 60 bucks but is it hot enough to do the job?

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?

I read several medical articles that recommend dry cleaning infested sheets and pillow cases. It kills 100% of the bugs and eggs and at everystage of their development.

Even large pillows can be dry cleaned by good cleaners.

But its a big hassle, because to do a thorough job I also have to send out my rugs and some of my clothes that are infested.

No big deal I guess because they pick up and deliver.

But here is the question… where did they come from?
My pets, my guests or from me?

I never wear clothes more then twice, most are dry cleaned or washed weekly.

Should I send my pets out to be cleaned with special insecticide shampoos? How do I know if they are infested ?
Good stuff.
Thanks.

My pets rarely scratch so I guess its not form them.

Oh, I wouldn’t send to a dry cleaners a infested sheet without sealing it in a plastic bag and labeling it. And once its in the machine everything is dead anyway and protected in a plastic bag before its returned. I wouldn’t infest the employees for my own sake. Besides they know what they are doing. Its a demand common enough that they seem to have protocals for it.

The articles say that washing infested clothes will not kill the infestation if they are in the larval phase. And I never use bleach on my clothes. (really top of the line stuff). And I dry on habgers or low heat. So washing is useless for infestations.

But just in case I may bath my pets. Because if my sheets are infested some are bound to be on them.

My body is not covered with bites. Ouch! Ichy! Gross.

Money is nooooo object!!!
I’ll pay to have stuff cleaned all at once!!!
It doesn’t happen often, but if it does its WAR!!!
Good stuff.
Thanks.

I am NOT plant/gardening savvy.

I have flower beds and the roses are dealing with these little tiny green worms on the underside of their leaves…and the leaves are starting to resemble lace rather than leaves.

The next flower bed over, I have a happy community of praying mantis that I am quite fond of. They are not doing their job and eating the little worms on the roses…so how do I get rid of the worms without killing the mantis?

We recently found out that we have bed bugs, we thought they were ticks from the woods in our backyard. Anyway we bagged all material items washed what is needed for now, broke all bedrooms down, sprayed all hard surfaces(table joints, and chairs, etc.), everyday we spray baseboards, matresses, and carpet with 91% isopropyl alcohol. When I say spray, we are useing a continuous sprayer which puts out a continuous heavy stream. So we are actually saturating everything in alcohol. we have set up camp in our living room( its just nasty to sleep w/them) I need to know are we affecting them at all or just wasting time and money. By the way we cannot afford for the exterminator to do it, he said it was going to start at 0. So for you pros out there are we getting the job done?

Do you know of anything that will effectively do the job?.. If so, please let me know as I've had with bed bugs. I can't even sleep right anymore. Any tips would also be appreciated.

Thanks!
