A friend of mine is renting a house, and she believes there are bed bugs ...no matter how many times she washes her sheets, she still feels bitten all over. Tiny red marks cover her. Rather than chemicals, she is looking for a "natural" solution.

Bed bugs are not something to be taken lightly as they are nearly impossible to get rid of using chemical means let alone finding a "natural" way to eliminate them. They are not living in her sheets. They are living in her home. They are living in the mattress, in the floor, the rugs, the bed frame...basically anywhere. And, if she does not get rid of them now, she will be taking her "pets" with her to her new home when she moves out. She needs to notify the landlord of the home and have them have a good exterminator come and get rid of the bed bugs. At the very least, she needs a bug professional to come and see what exactly the infestation is. I am hoping for her sake it is something easy like fleas!

There are some relatively easy ways known about how to kill bed bugs, such as washing all clothing in hot water and drying them on the hottest drying cycle. With items, which cannot take the heat, they can be put in the freezer. For larger, bulkier items, such as mattresses, they can be sealed in black plastic and placed in the sun. The gathering heat inside the plastic will kill them. However, his could take up to two weeks and the condition of the materials may dictate they are discarded.

If she hasn't succeeded in getting them out of her sheets by now, chances are very good that the bugs have gotten into her furniture, including her matress. She's going to have to replace the furniture and shampoo the carpets.
