BED BUGS Part Two?

Question

I live in a apartment building, 5 apartments down, and five up. I am on a end upstairs, however what if these BED BUGS are coming from the apartment next door, coming through the cracks and the walls? I'm on section 8 and I don't want this thing known to sec 8 or the super intendant, without it being a huge production , and people looking at mne as if I did it, or that I'm a dirty person. Who splits the bill? Do I pay or does the super, or sec 8 pay?I dont have other people living with me, no pets, no kids. No BF how could they get here? Thanks again

Pebble thank you so much, have u had this problem? What do i do about my sofa? yes all of the pillows are throw pillows kinda, they dont attatch to the couch. I just feel like God can't throw any more on me right now. SHould I keep my mattreww and boxspring? I heard the bed bugs can live up to a year without feeding. I can't believe this is happening to me. I just feel so defeated, however thank you

Thanks for reminding about a bomb and to throw my vacuum bag away.

Answer 1

Vacuum your mattress very well and spray it with a "Pediculide" for lice. Then go to a 99 cent store and pick up a plastic mattress cover. Set off a flea bomb in your bedroom. Then clean your bedroom and vacuum your carpets very well. Remember to toss out your vacuum bag after you vacuum. Sect. 8 will not pay for it.

Answer 2

Having bed bugs doesn't mean that you are a dirty person.. You can bring them home if you stayed at a hotel or if someone that you visited had them.... You need to take your mattress/box spring and get some plastic sheeting and wrap them like a present.. If you can use a balcony, porch or strip of yard take them outside and let them bake in the sun.. While that is going on wash down your bedroom walls with bleach water solution and vacuum... Put down some baking soda on the floors and let that sit as well.. .This will smother them.. Go to Target, Walmart wherever and get a mattress protector that goes all the way around the mattress itself to create a barrier between you and the bed bugs.. That will also stop them from feeding on you.... Good luck
