The reason i feel blessed because let me tell you people they call me the e.r. queen because any time i see something that is not the regular i run to the hospital, doctor, whatever. Soon as u see something that is not right you get on it, this could affect your life. I brought mine home from work a patient was bringing them to my clinic and then of course i brought it home. a bad point to my job.

I now i hear people say they are going crazy. but i thank god i caught it quickly because if i hadn’t we would have some deep problems. The pest control was a wonderful company and very professional. treated my whole house and didn’t have to pay because i rent, and management took care of that. my apartment was treated jan 4th i have slept wonderfully, no bites, no seeing bed bugs, threw out everything out in that room its empty. and mind u that was the only room that bed bugs were found in not in my daughters room or the living room, so react fast!

If your management cares about there tenants they would do everything possible to get rid of bed bugs because no management in their right mind wants this problem in there buildings affecting others. my management acted very quickly and very professional, if they don’t react this way contact someone.

And in the mean time in between time what i hear that kills the bugs is any alcohol over 80% so go to your local walgreens, c.v.s get alcohol the higher the percentage the better they even have 91% get it put it in a spray bottle and spray like hell on couches around and below beds every where floors, corners of rugs kids toys. it helps. Bugs are not a joke and they are to be taken very seriously.They can leave very ugly scares from scratching also. But if you feel uncomfortable where you live i wouldn’t stay there.

I stayed here cuz of course its winter plus my lease is up in june. And the number 1 reason i stayed is to make sure every thing was treated before i left i didn’t want to take any little friends with me. And mind you when i do leave i am leaving my living room set also even though nothing was found there it just would be safer. Honestly after throwing out the bed room set and bed and living room set (in june) we want have but small stuff to move i feel good about that already.

I will tell you i want to take my family on a vacation but i am so frightened cuz i didn’t wana deal with the bugs then well b back in the same predicament. so il just stay at home for now until something is done about these blood suckers.

Things we Kept its shorter ” 2 Tv’s , 1 Laptop, 1 Xbox and controller, All clothes and linens but they have been washed in hot water and dried at laundry mat for a hour and have been in tubs since the laundry mat. We have been staying with family since about a month we finally can sleep again thank you tylenol PM , Xanax and other sleeping pills.

Yes I have gone crazy our family claims they understand but i don’t understand if they truly do. I feel we lost everything for something that we didn’t deserve not that anyone does but its not like we lost our job we lost everything uncontrollably.

We are moving into a new home with all new furniture and beds and yes even sheets bedding and pillows but have we done enough to not bring them with us. We have had no problems at family’s house and we check at least 500 times a day.

By the way did i mention this is all happening and i’m getting married in less then 7 months so all my wedding stuff is gone too, Blahhhhh

Please help I’M GOING INSANE over bed bugs!

We have had the house sprayed 4 times and we are free! Not only did Sam exterminate but he educated us! You cannot take care of this yourself. DO NOT BOMB!!! That’s the worst thing you can do, it just sends then into the walls and makes them harder to kill. Throw away your furniture, expensive I know! But do it!

Take every price of clothing, linen etc and put in seal tight plastic bags. Wash in hot water and dry on high heat. Pit them in new, sealed tight bags and do not bring them back in the house for at least two weeks. Make sure u take apart any furniture you just cannot throw away and make sure the ext. spray it!

It should take the bed bug exterminator three to four hours to do the treatment (and out house is small). Just because u don’t see bites doesn’t mean u don’t have them. Everyone reacts differently.

It was during my finals week our downstairs neighbor came up and announced they had bed bugs…much to my horror we checked our bed and sure enough we had them. We live in a huge house that is split into 4 apartments. We called the city inspector who stated the whole house should be treated, our landlords decided that only our 2 apartments would be treated and went with the cheapest treatment possible.

Needless to say a month later we are still finding them we have tried the casements and the DE and everything else and our landlords refuse to do a second treatment. I want to move, but I don’t think we can until these bed bugs get treated for good.

To make matters worse my boyfriend seems to think i am “overreacting” because for some reason he is not affected by the bites like i am. I can get a dozen while sitting on the bed and he gets one. Or none! I try to have an excuse to sleep over my mother’s as often as possible …but the baby will be here soon! I’m afraid to even set up his crib or take anything of his out and set it up because i don’t want his baby things infested too! Sometimes i think why me? Why now? I’m so desperate and depressed over this! I never thought this would happen to us!

The bites seem to be a gouge..leaving a sliver like scab. Other seem like a very tiny blister.
I too washed all my clothes..and heat dried them for a long time. threw out a LOT of items.
I am completely sick of them and sick of having bug bites all over my neck arms and back.

I am going to try the DE and some natural kind of spray or something to keep them from biting.
I am hoping some tea tree and other essential oils might help.

I am a student and live in Stockholm. I found a bedbug on my sheet, 40 days ago, I called my to come and treat them. Sweden does not use any dangerous poison, the just spread some powder around the corner and bed but it takes time, they told me I should sleep at room to cause bedbugs come out and walk on the powder to die, but it’s awful, I can not sleep while I know they come and suck my blood. I couldn’t sleep more than 5 hours per night during last month.

I put all my stuff in laundry for more that 3 hours several times .. I don’t know what should I do? I am really going to get crazy .. I can not sleep and always looking to find a bed bug .. my body start to be itchy when I decide to sleep. I have lots of exams and lots of work to do, but I can not concentrate because i can not sleep. Please help me… What can I do to get rid of these awful creatures?
