I called the exterminator and they were all gone after 5 weeks. i also thew away my bed my couch my cloths and everything else. I taped over cracks in the wall and slept on a air mattress for 3 years. its a real fight filled with many sleepless nites. Finally i went and bought a new 3,200 bedset. I was terrified about them comming back. Against my better judgement i bought a used 40 guitar to learn to play and guess what there back again. The war continues again what ive learned is think positive if you fear them comming like the secret said you will give your thoughts power and they will come. some time hard to do becouse im laying in bed now feeling like im getting bite all over but when i look there is nothing there. good luck to you and your fight people 4 years ago i had bed bugs, it was horrible.

I faced the problem too... i read the article, bed bugs can live more than a yrs without feeding. hence, they can kill with 110 degree... so means if u put ur mattress outside the house to let sunrise kill it..it's impossible.... And the egg of the bed bugs is black colour.... so i did experiment it thought the black dots at my mattress is some dirty , but slowly you monitor it, they can start moving..... So, definately the normal insect aerosol wont help. i just wondering, anyone of u got any successfully case to kill the bed bugs at ur home?

I hate bed bugs !! I have paid for a company to come in and treat my house, it cost me close to $1000.00 and four treatment later I still found bed bugs ...ugh The one thing I found that worked was spraying rubbing alcohol on my box spring and mattress. I sprayed the baseboard in the room , I used it on my bed frame and dressers too. Yes the room smelled like alcohol for a few days but it was much better then the bites. The best part is it did not damage the furniture. I hope this helps and good luck if you hire a company to come in and do it for you ... it was a waste of time and money for me. Ok ..

My land lord assured me there weren't any in the building and they were gone. One week after moving in, my neighbor down stairs let us know she has them and to be watchful that the buggers might be heading up to my up stairs unit. She said she has been trying for the last 8 months to get rid of them.... sigh...so in an attempt at prevention before they come up to my unit i have encased everything i own in plastic bags, books, clothes, toys, you name it, its gone into ziplock bags, i figure maybe i can save a few things. But what a nightmare, living out of zip lock bags has got to suck. The moment i see a bed bug in my unit, i'm out of here, that is of course after fumigation.... the worst part about it all is the fear that you'll just take one bed bug with you to the next place and that one bug might start a whole new colony and the process starts all over again, once you thought it was safe..... i guess we all have headaches over this situation...

I washed in the hottest water possible, and then immediately washed them a second time, this time adding bleach to the wash. I dried in hottest heat possible and then bagged all of my freshly washed items in clean plastic bags, tied them shut and put them in my car for 2 days in the summer heat. I'm pretty comfident this got the most of them. For my mattress and boxspring, I got mattress/boxspring cases that close and after wrestling them into the cases, I also sprinkled a 50/50 mix of pyretrin & diatomaceous earth (food grade) onto each BEFORE sealing. I also sprinkled this mixture around the perimeter of the room , allowing it rest on the floor for a day before vacuuming. I'm careful to wash bed linens AT LEAST once a week. I've also read they don't like lavender oil....so, figuring it couldn't hurt, I took a cotten ball wetted with lavender oil along all the edges of my dresser, along the corners of my closet and walls in my room. So far I've not seen anymore of the little pests, nor experienced any more bites. But the cat won't sleep with me anymore ...he doesn't like the lavender either. :( When I noticed my infestation, I immediately washed all of my bed linens-sheets, blankets, mattress pads…ALL OF IT!

I live in an apartment building that has a really bad problem and the landlords are only treating one apartment at a time... Personally they need to treat all of them since they can crawl out someone else's door into yours! It also helps if the pest control company that you use looks well enough to see them...I had them back in July and was "cleared" at the end of August.... But I have spotted them again!... All of my beds are already in encasements so all I have to do now is start the whole vac the carpets and wash everything again.. I threw out my living room furniture back in the summer and right now I am sitting on coleman chairs... I am not even going to risk getting any furniture as that is a good home for them..... The toughest thing to do is wash wash wash all of the fabric in your home... vac all carpets several times a day... and yes the alcohol does work on contact but if you don't spray the bug, the vapors don't kill them. I did use the bombs that they sell at Lowe's in between treatments from the pest control and I think that helped a lot... Best of luck to everyone..
