IV GOT UR ANSWER HERE:
Where I live we get them all the time.
First, I must tell u that bedbugs are ticks, and they are generally found in the wild between the bark and wood of the trees and infest birds and nests, they are also found in other like areas as well. They can hybernate for an entire year without moving and come out again. They hide in the crevaces and nitches of materials and wood, thus they will hide in ur curtains and wood furniture. They like to hide in that seam around ur mattress and they dont get on ur bed to eat ur dead skin...they r ticks and suck blood. Honost. U can get a diluted version of Malathion and other products from a plant store or hardware store, like Home Depot. Spray the room and the edges of ur mattress. U MUST wash everything....EVERYTHING...curtains, bed linens, clothes ...or they will hide in there and come back out. Also, move ur furniture and vacuum well. Now i will tell u that u will not get rid of them all unless u do this and continue to spray and monitor ur bed seams and such. And even then its hard to get rid of them without a proffessional service. A hint for u I used is to keep my box spring and mattress in plastic so the bedbugs cant hide there but at times they'd still get on the bed linens. Also, they don't like water. So, i've gone to the extreme of getting highly durable small plastic containers and filling with water, then placintg the four legs of my bed onto a block of wood placed into the water filled dish .. and moving my bed a little from the wall and never letting my bed linen touch the floor...after i did that, not one bedbug got on my bed ever.

Answer 4

Use 91% alcohol (not the kind u drink) and actaully spray them, this will kill them on the spot!!! Locating the egg sacks will be very HARD and tidious, Alcohol ither than Heat IS the Only way to Kill the entire eggs sack.....The other way is to have your place "Heat Treated" .. This will kill every kind of bug in your place. It will take an entire day for the process but well worth it for eradicating the dreaded Bedbugs and their eggs... All the BED BUG products on the market only kill the bug not their eggs leaving the consumer to repeated application over a 2 month period, costing the consumer....

Answer 5

Just get a package of cigarettes. Leach the juice out like you are making a cup of tea. Allow to cool and pour into a spray bottle. Just use it as a general spray. Bugs don't like it. As a matter of fact, most bug spray is made from tobacco juice. They just add other toxins. With the homemade concoction, you get the same lethal result without poisoning the children or the pets.

i just went through this.. i am one of the few lucky one who are allergic..

the cheapest and best way that i have found is heat.. they basically cook at 120+. in a house it is hard to get to that
temp.
paying someone is costly. the problem with chemicals is getting them in everything.. they are so small and will go where ever they can fit.. in electronics behind switch plates... anywhere..
learning about them will help your battle

i have heard that sulfur kills them.. but how do you get rid of the smell after? try looking for home remedies...

i do know that temps above 120f will kill them. you have to hold that temp for a few hours. if you dont get the floor level to that temp they will just go to the floor. wash all your clothes sheets ect in hot water.. i baked mine with the bugs then washed them.

good luck.

Strip everything off the bed.
Spray the bare mattress with an insecticide containing 'pyrethrin'.
Cover the mattress with an old sheet for 1 day.
With warm soap and water, or detergent, scrub the mattress.
Let dry.
Done deal!!!

Answer 8

the only way to do that is to just wash the bedding and curtains. if you still had the bed, get some Fabreeze and spray the beds with it. As for the floors and stuff I'm not sure. You can call a professional on the phone. They can help you for free and not charge anything.

Answer 9

bed bugs live in beds because they eat the dead skin we shed there on a regular basis. If you discarded the bed and thoroughly cleaned the room, then you should have no further problem. In future, you need not discard the bed, encasing it in a plastic liner for six months will just as effectively kill the little buggers. Make sure the linens used on the bed are washed in extremely hot water and dried on high in the dryer, to kill any eggs they may have laid.

Answer 10

Start my spraying the normal household insecticides. Spray everysingle portion of that room, wait for some minutes and they may have died. If u keep on finding them, then call for a fumigator.
