Okay, we have been living in a multiple apartment complex and have had to have the landlord spray for bed bugs 3 times and I’m still being bitten. Two days ago was the 3rd time within an 8-month period. We caught a live specimen the last 2 times. I cannot find them, but they are eating me up. I’m on medication because of the pain and allergic reaction I have to them. My boyfriend and I are both disabled, and around 60ish and will be moving to Florida in October for good and have been saving a little money to enable us to do this. Moving between now and then doesn’t make sense when we have just a few more months to go. When we called him, he was irate and right down nasty, I was not moved one bit because we pay our rent on time and to the penny, never ever been late not once. However, he did come to spray the next day, but I’m still being bitten even after 2 days. I want to call professional exterminators and pay for it myself and take it off the rent. I don’t want to cause us to get put out when we’re so close to just leaving the state altogether. Can I do that and how would I go about it? Will someone help me please!

do products like REST EASY Bed Bug Spray or STOP BUGGING ME! Bed Bug Spray really work ?

they claim to be safer and more effective than the strong and dangerous chemicals used by the exterminators.

if they really work then i would buy them, but i do not want to just be throwing away my money.

Hi! I recently found my daughters bed infested with bed bugs..so I threw her mattress out and dresser. I have been thinking we might have had them because I’ve been getting bit for about a month now. I searched my bed and found no evidence..except one day I was laying on the bed and seen a bed bug crawling right towards me! I don’t know what to do.. I called Orkin out earlier and he didnt see any in my room, but did find a dead one in my daughters room. I have a 4 bedroom mobile home and it would be 200.00 a room or 900 for the heat treatment. What should I do??? Should i try and treat it myself? I’ve been vaccuming constantly and have hardwood floors. Ive sprayed a bed bug spray but still getting bites at night. No one else is but me, but my son has had a few bites on him. Shoud I just pay for mine and my daughters room to get treated or the heat? please help..my friend seems to think im just crazy…but im getting bites all over!
Yeah, i’ve read alot that foggers do not work, it only makes it worse. I just got a call from a local pest control that would charge 250 to do the house and i would have to sign a 5 month contract for them to come back and spray for 40.00 a month. Should i go with Orkin(which is an older company) or the local company thats cheaper? Im just so tired of all this…I feel like im being eaten out of my home..and who has money for all this crap? Im just lucky I guess because I have money in savings, but definetly wasnt looking to spend it on this.

So I’m only 13 and I have a bed bug problem and I’m freaking out. So far its only in my room (everyone else checked their beds and sprayed as precaution) but I don’t know if we have enough money for an exterminator but I need one because spraying isn’t helping any. Please help, I wake up hyperventilating and crying because it scares me….. I need a great exterminator that will come back and do it again if they don’t get them the first time.

Ever since then, I’ve been losing a lot of sleep and I even spent a whole day (I should have been studying for my Algebra test! I ended up getting a 48!) looking up information about bed bugs. Every night or in my case, morning (I usually go to sleep between 2-4:30am) I spray my pillow, mattress, pillowcase, covers, between my mattress and box spring, curtains, and in little holes around my window with 91% alcohol. I usually end up using anywhere from 20-30 oz. of alcohol every morning! The fumes are no joke, but I’ve survived them so far, thank God! Luckily, I haven’t been bit, but I feel like I’m over doing it. Before I spray, I always do a through inspection of everything I listed above and I haven’t seen anything. How hazardous are the alcohol fumes? I heard that bed bugs don’t like borax and I thought about putting some between my mattress and box spring. Do you think that will decrease my need for the excessive amounts of alcohol I’ve been using? Also, I just read that taking vitamin B1-B-Complex could keep them and other bugs at bay…I wonder if this really works! With the exception of calling an exterminator (I REALLY DON’T HAVE THE MONEY), I want to know if you could give me additional ideas on keeping them at bay. Thanks so much for your time and effort in advance! I got the alcohol idea from my cousin. They had bed bugs in their apartment building and they sprayed everthing down with alcohol and they haven’t had any ever since!
Oops! I meant "everything" (the last sentence). Sorry about the error!
I just realized that I spelled "thorough" wrong also! Once again, I’m sorry!

I am currently renting an apartment that became infested with bed bugs! I complained to my apartment manager several times and they had Orkin come out and treat. They now want me to reimburse them for the Orkin bill stating that it was my responsiblity? Being as I didnt have a bed bug problem before I moved in there I feel that this is not my obligation to pay this bill. Am I legally responsible to pay this? And can I put my rent money into escrow until this issue is resolved?

i just noticed them a month ago. i live in a one bedroom apartment with my small pomeranian. They have infested the couch and bed, which are the main places i have seen them. I told my apartment manager and at first they said they would take care of the problem. Now they are saying if i want them out, i have to pay for it. I haven’t gotten any new furniture and honestly i dont know where they came from. they are driving me crazy because they are biting me and my dog. I can’t even bear to sit on the couch, but i can’t stop the dog from doing so. I put mattress covers on my bed and they seem to be helping in my room, but the living room is another story. I dont have the money for an exterminator, plus i only have 2 months on my lease. I have already found another place, and i know i have to take special precautions when moving.
I just don’t have the funds to pay for two places at the same time if i move. last night, i got so fed up wit them i went to my parents. i washed the dog thoroughly and dried him on high heat with a blow dryer. I washed and dried my clothes and immediately threw them and the dog in the car and ran for cover to my parents. I read articles on how not to take them with you, and they say you need to wash and dry your clothes and other items. Anything above 113F will kill them. I haven’t been able to sleep because i know they are just waiting for me. i average about 3 hours of sleep a night, and i am seriously abusing coffee. Anyways if you guys were in my situation , what would you seriously do? Give me a step by step procedure. I cant stand these things at all. they are driving me crazy, i need help
not to mention i cant even spend time with the dog because i know she has been sitting on the couch for hours accumulating them. she wants to sleep with me , but i am afraid she willl bring them in my bed again. she scratches at the door and i feel really bad. i can’t wash her everyday b4 bed..ya know!

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.

Help! I think I have bed bugs!?
Within the past week, I’ve been getting strange bug bites. I looked up pictures of bug bites online today and some of the bed bug ones are exactly like what I have.
So now what do I do? Wash everything? Call an exterminator? I read on one website that I shouldn’t try to sleep somewhere else because they may follow me (I live alone) because I’m their source of food (EW!).
I went out of town last weekend (about 10 days ago) and took my pillow to the hotel. Could I have brought them back with me in my pillow and gotten bit this fast?

Help, I don’t know what to do, I don’t have a lot of money for an exterminator or new mattress (and I’ve heard the new mattress may not even help). And I can’t sleep cause I feel like bugs are crawling all over me! Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

I have bed bugs in my apartment, I have done my research and know the difference between bed bugs and dust mites. I have webmd’ the bites on the arm and they are also a match for bed bugs. My plan is to vacuum out all my carpet and closet and dust everything, then to use the Bayer advanced indoor insect spray. then to vacuum my mattress and clean it dry so it doesn’t get mold with 20 mule team borax. then bagging up the mattress and box spring with tight hypo-allergenic covers, then buy new sheets,pillowcases, and pillows, any ideas to make this better? I’m a college student living in my apartment so needless to say I’m not loaded with money so calling the exterminator or replacing the mattress are too pricey for me right now. My landlord won’t do it for me, I’ve asked several times. PLEASE HELP ME!!! I WANT THOSE BUGS DEAD!!

I just got married and we don’t have a lot of money. Everything we read tells us to call a professional to get rid of bed bugs but we can’t afford it. I just wanted to know inexpensive but effective ways to get rid of them.
