Answer 3

I had bed bugs in my own home and got rid of them long time ago.

You have 2 options...
1. get an expensive exterminator that will not warranty you 100% to eliminate the problem.

2. Eliminate the problem yourself cheaply but with its side effects like i did.

The secret: "Diatomaceous earth"
Get the 4 pounds bags (Concern brand) from Amazon at 9 dollars. Get 2 of them.

This product is not toxic, you could actually put some in the food and nothing is going to happen.

Just wear a dust mask when you spread the powder as it is very fine and dry... otherwise you get your respiratory tract very dry or your lungs irritated.
So spread the powder in fine "puffs" all around the bed, crevices in all your furniture, closet, entire room, carpet, small cracks in your bed's wood, EVERYWHERE, specially the places that you frequent the most in your home.

I used a big plastic bottle with a cone tip so just squeeze the bottle to create a cloud of powder that takes a while to completelly fall and set in place.

Now inspect every inch of your mattress for the bug... find pictures of the bug in Google if you don't know how it looks like. The name of this bug is Cimex Lectarius. Just kill them like a roach using some gloves or paper. They actually stink a bitter odor.

These bugs can live without food (your blood) for about 6 months... so make sure you have your diatomaceous earth covering all the place for a long time.
The powder works because it is a mechanical killer. Bugs can't create an hinmune system to it.
The powder is kind of microscopic glass that gets stick to the bugs, and it absorbs moisture, drying them to death.
You can test it by putting a little bit of powder in a glass cup and some bugs alive... in about 48 hours they desecate to death.

The powder must be always dry or it wont work. So keep your home dry all the time... clean the powder and spray new one every once in a while.

Put a lot of powder in the mattress.... A LOT. it will not get you or your pets intoxicated. I actually worked the powder into the mattress with my hands to make sure that any bug walking by to reach my juicy blood, will get really covered in powder and die soon.

So this works 100% believe me. Now my home is free of these bastards.

The problem is to clean the powder later.... it is so fine that is difficult to clean it out.... it takes time. The vacuum filter gets dirty very fast, so you have to clean it over and over again.

Remember... these bugs are where humans are... they don't pick homes because the amount of filth in it, like roaches do. They can be in the cleanest house.

Do not mistake the kind of diatomaceous earth sold at the cleaning pool supplies shop... it is different. get the one i told you before.

I know it is a hard solution living with the white powder around for months... but it just works. Other people are giving up in their fight to kill the bugs, and the bugs just move with them to the new place hiding in the furniture and lugage.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Get a new mattress and buy The Mattress covers that zip up all the way around the mattresses ( they're made to keep bedbugs and alergins from bieng released out of the mattresses), and get new pillows and do the same with them cover them in a zipperd cover, Wash all your bedding in extreamly hot water, Bleech in the water if possiable Vaccume the floors regulary and extreamly well, making sure you get in all corners

Answer 5

You will need to fumigate and spray the whole house because, bed bugs lay eggs in the most unusual places, and they hatch slow and regularly. Bugs lay millions of eggs and they keep coming and coming. The only solution is to pesticide the whole house.
Try some good pest control professionals.

Answer 6

unfortunately, once a mattress is infested, there are only two things that you can do, either get a new mattress or put the present mattress in a vinyl mattress cover that zips up and seal the little buggers in. There really is no way to get them out of the mattress. You will also have to encase or discard the box spring if you use one.

Answer 7

Burn the mattress and buy a new one...Or give it to a Six Motel I know they will recycle and let others enjoy your bugs

Answer 8

try using a different kind of spray, like Bug Patrol. go to www.bed-bug.net.

Answer 9

throw out the dam bed

Answer 10

Wash your sheets a lot.
