For everyone that is has these disgusting critters, my mom used to have them but she got rid of them by washing all clothes and leaving all furniture outside in the sun because these bed bugs don’t like the heat an second she clean every room with bleach. Just remember heat will kill these bugs blow dry your mattress throw your close in the dryer!!!!’nnnn

Transparent could simply mean it hasn’t feed yet and in it’s youth, do you have a picture?

I found a bug crawling across my forehead one day and I’m not sure if it’s a bed bug. I am getting bites, but only on my head and neck, and a small cluster on my wrist. The one I found on my head wasn’t a dark brown, it was more transparent. Any advice? Thanks❤

From what I know, my exterminator tells me those store brought bombs will not kill an infestation off bed bugs in your home. Professional strength fumes will be key. (This can be pricy) Also getting rid of precious furniture and clothes is a waste of money since they could be hiding anywhere and you risk spreading the infestation when you start to move things. So anything suspect, like mattresses, box springs, shoes, purses, toys, clothes etc, should be sprayed with alcohol (which doesn’t kill them but only irritates the hell out of them and brings them out) then put your stuff into plastic bags and inspected one bag at a time before placing back into closet, drawer, etc. Meanwhile professionals should treat furniture, crevices, and rooms before bringing personal belongings back into room. One good trick (putting clothes in the dryer for about 30-40 min will produce heat that will kill off any live bugs or potential eggs. You can buy those plastic bed covers from walmart to cover mattress, but have mattress treated first! Hope this helps. The store brought bed bug spray is also just a temp fix. Take that with you when you travel.

here’s my problem… i have been bit by two bed bugs… i of course killed both of them before they had the chance to run off n breed. they weren’t the adult bed bugs cause the weren’t huge n fat like the ones i have seen on the internet… but i have been flipping out because i found these two.

I checked for all the signs and have found no traces of these pests. not no where. i refuse to sleep in my finished basement room at my grandmoms because of the two i killed. i have a two year old who sleeps with me. we moved up to the second floor and have no bites. i’m just wondering if there’s more bugs laying low cause i set their comrades on fire. lol I’ve been in the basement since then but not to sleep.

Also like to say i was bitten at 8 and 10 am you know in the morning well after their supposed feeding time. i just don’t know what to do. we can’t keep sleeping on the floor upstairs. my daughter misses her room and her toys. if anyone has solid advise please let me know. and my grandmom sleeps on the first floor and has no bites at all. i don’t know if this means there was only two bugs or if their just hiding some where off the normal checklist.

I used to work in a feed store years ago and we had an all natural section which included Diatomaceous Earth. From what we were taught about this product was that it kills crawling insects by cutting they’re body like glass (as they crawled over it) .Yet it was safe enough to sprinkle in bird seed (feeders) and it would not harm the birds. According to other posts also it dehydrates the bug ,either way it works. Just be careful not to get in eyes or breath into lungs. Also rubbing alcohol put in a spray bottle will kill them on contact.

Hi Tosh,

It can’t be just any power, it has to be diatomaceous earth if you want to kill the bed bugs.
