My mom had used those bleach with water and cleaning products to clean the bed so it might smells to the bugs, but no help..

Our house have spiders and the other pests that usually appears at mostly homes and those might helps,I would think, because they will eat some of my bugs that is on the bed, hehe, that is funny, sorry.. is true thought, but still,there are a lot,like a nest of worm land or something, it scares me so much under the bed sheet part.. : (

The reason it happens like this because our homes are surrounding with grasses, plants and wooden house, so of course these pests are climb in, craw in and flies in, whatever the reason is.. and I am trying to avoid those in our homes.. mostly near the window if the case in our rooms, the others like in food, I don't know.. I don't even know how it craw in, because it tide storage thought, that is strange, would it just pop by itself on food products?? No funny answers please. I am serious. How? Bite thrown the storage bags?

Are those bugs bite through bags? I am worry about my other things will got bitten holes or something.. : ( Clothing, sheets, might be papers etc... I can imagine on my head.. It never ends... : ( I don't want to call the pest's company....

I saw a commerial or selling product on tv is a book of how to get rid of all different kinds of pests at home and use what/something to avoid it, all lists in order is like an encyclopedia, and I also did the reasearches find nothing about this topic at all, it won't tell their secrets online, and I can't buy the books, no money... No car to go to the library either, so...

Anyone knows or can do the reaseraches with me and tell me about it, I will be appreciate it, please email me at Chan.Sammie@gmail.com. That will be help for your homes too also, so why not help us out a little bit, thank you very much my friends, hopefully keep in touch about this topics, hehe : )

Thanks for reading this question, welcome, talk to me about it...

I'm afraid that your mom is right. The key to getting rid of these bugs is to clean the living daylights out of your house. Vacuum everything, every corner, every square inch of rug. Vacuum each rug multiple times.

Throw out everything that is bug infested. Flower, chips, sugar, pasta, anything that has a bug in it.

Examine every corner of and edge of every room, and around the parameter of the house, every inch along the ground. Look for possible openings for bugs.

If your house is **** and span thoughout, and there is no food for the bugs laying around, they will have nothing to eat and will either die or find somewhere else to live.

Reminds me of a comic strip my Dad gave me a couple of decades ago. A guy going to pick a girl up on a date asks her:
Guy: "How come girls houses always smell so good?" Girl:"Because we clean them once and awhile!"
Guy: "Oh, I was hoping there was something more to it than that."

Moral of the Story, There isn't going to be an answer that doesn't require a bunch of work on your part to make sure that everything in the house is as clean as possible. Laundry done, Vacuuming done several times, including beds, furniture etc. Food and junk disposed of, etc and you may even find that you need to dispose of a piece of furniture or two, perhaps even a bed that is harboring the beasts that you can't get clean. Then repeat cleaning once a week forever.

There is this book that is called Gardening Magic by Joey Green Author of the Amazing Kitchen Cures. If you are having a problem with the outside, maybe you need to take care of the outside first and the inside as well. It gives different solutions to get rid of pest, and use brand name products. Such as how to get rid of Aphids, ants, worrms, cutworms, and so on.

Clean the daylights out of your house and seal any little cracks or other holes it might have. The pests won't come where there is no food for them.

Also, there are a large number of fragrant herbs that pests don't like, such as tansy, sages, oregano, and citrus.

I have to watch out for toxic substances here too, on account of the pets.

They are called ladybugs....or ladybird beetles...they are laying eggs in your house...maybe in the attic or walls...make sure have sealed cracks around light fixtures and central h/ac vents...I use a vacumn cleaner to suck them up...once I sealed the openings to my attic...no more problems...you can kill the worms by spraying soapy, salt water

place a small amount of sugar on your forehead, lay down in the middle of your floor and await the hungry critters to congregate, and feast on the treat left for them. when it seems that all who are coming over for dinner have arrived, pound the little suckers with a mallet, phone book, or other blunt object.
