Answer 1

Ew! Time to buy a NEW MATTRESS!!

Answer 2

You will have them on new furniture in a matter of about 2 weeks. Must rid the house and around the house of bugs the same stuff that kills fleas, kills bed bugs. I also bought a plastic matress cover and put on the matress air tight for about 3 weeks after of course treating. I then vacuumed the matress and put a clean matress pad over it. In the mean time I washed everything in hot water and hot dryer. What could not be washed either got tossed into a hot dryer or thrown in trash. After weeks I was finally rid of them but you cannot leave one thing untreated, it will start all over again! The reason matresses are so hard because of the seems that is where they go. Oh and by the way treat your vacuum cleaner with pesticide also. They are bugs have to have pesticide I have tried all kinds of natural things they are laughable it even says it could take weeks to control after 2 weeks I saw live bugs crawling thru the natural stuff did not even slow them down. Spent a ton of money trying not to use pesticide but with no luck. Hardest I have ever had to work but I did it.

I just had to deal with this from a couch I recently got. Wash every thing that can go into the washer and vaccume everything else up real good and if you have pillows for your couch that can't be washed, place them in a plastic bag and put them in the garage or back yard for a week or two to kill off the bugs that may be on/in them. Make shure you get behind and under the couch, beds, chairs, tv stand, all carpet ect and make shure you vacume up the uphosltery real good. When your done put the vacume bag in a plastic bag and take it out of your house. Vacume like this for a good week to make shure you get all the bugs up. Wash all bedding every day in the hottest setting.

You can also go to the store and by a RID spray can (the ones for lice) and spray this all over the couch and beds after you vacumed. You treat them just like you do for lice.

I recomend you getting the spray and then do a follow up spray a week latter to make shure you killed them all. If you leave just a few then your problem will start over again.

There is allso sprays you can buy just for bed bugs but the lice spray works just as well.

I wish you luck!!!

I got bed bugs and took them home with me after staying the night at a friends house. I went home and after a week or so in the morning I had a line of about 7 bites on one arm. The next day I woke up and had a lot more. I didn't know what this was so I went to my doctor. She told me it looked like it was bed bugs since she had asked me to tell her what I did prior to getting the bites. She told me that the best way would be to get an exterminator that used heat to kill them. I went home did research on the internet and found out heat at around 113 degrees kills them quick. I decided to used this method and off to Home Depot I went. I looked at room heaters and saw that they only went to 85-90 degrees before automatically shutting off. I went to the outdoor heater section and found a portable propane heater for 189.00USD I purchased it and went home and assembled it. I took my grill propane tank to get filled 15.00 bucks. I got home stood my mattress and box spring on their sides leaving all the sheets and stuff on them. I took out my spray deodorant and cologne, candle, and other liquids out of my room. I also took the smoke detectors out from the ceiling. I ran the propane line under the door to approximately 10 feet away from the door of my room. Close your air condtioner vent. I went in lighted the heater and set the thing on HIGH. I left it on for around 45 minutes making sure I'd go in every 10 minutes to check if my house was in fire. Luckily everything was good. I had left a thermometer on the floor of my room away from the heater since heat rises at the 20 minute check it read 165 degrees Fahrenheit. I did see that my plastic hangers had wilted and sagged from the heat. I let the room cool with the door shut and didn't sleep there til the next day. A few weeks went by and then they were back! I again did the same thing except this time I took my shoes out cause I had to replace them after I melted the glue out of my old ones and they fell apart. Once I was done with the same exact procedure I immediately ripped all the carpet off the floor and threw it away at the dumpster at some warehouse. The bed bugs are now gone its been almost a year now. No bites or nothing else purchased. If you're gonna used this method I recommend you thoroughly check for liquids before you do this. My thermometer read 165 degrees but that was the max reading I'm sure it was hotter. Another thing don't be stupid and leave the tank in the room you are heating up if you do you will die with the bugs. Check as often as you can. Remember propane leaves carbon monoxide a poisonous gas that kills you too so don't stay in the room long. Make sure you open the windows after you're done but let the room cool off on its own. Hopefully this will work for you. I wouldn't try this in an apartment though. Good luck and kill those *******.

Answer 7

You will probably need to buy new furniture and linens, but you can try this: try to take a high powered vacuum and run it along the couch and bed (everywhere) several times until they have been sucked up. Wash the linens in super hot water and try to wash the couch down with something also. Wash your linens once a week (at least) to prevent them from coming back.

Bed Bugs make three bites to the host each and lay two eggs in each bite to keep the larva warm until they hatch which takes two weeks. You must burn down your house and the host, (the person bitten).

Answer 9

Wash the sheets, maybe once a week.
Change the position of the bed, to avoid it going
down where you sleep (ex:body imprints). And
vacuum the bed, with a dust buster, daily.

Answer 10

They have to be removed with a chemical. Time to call a professional!
