Treat Bed Bugs

I discovered bed bugs in our new home about a month ago, I went online and followed plenty of advice; how ever spraying 6 matresses with alcohol, vacumming everything and washing all bedding I am still finding a couple insects every few days.
I have 5 children and take pride in keeping their rooms in perfect condition. We don't alow clutter in our house so why have we been infested by these horrible insects? What is safe to use around children and their matresses that will kill these bugs permanently?

they could have came from any where and yes, you can see bed bugs.
go to the store and buy a few cans of RID spray, the kind you buy to treat lice and evenly spray the beds and the floor. make sure ther are no tears in the matresses or creases that are not getting sprayed. after a few days I would spray everything down again just to make sure you killed them all and untill the beds are fully dry i would have the kids camp out in your room or in the livingroom.
they are like getting rid of lice, some times it takes a few tries.
Good luck on geting rid of them!

How do you kill them or where can you by the products to do so

The only way to get rid of bedbugs is to have a licensed exterminator come in and fumigate. Good luck!

For some reason it seems to put any new girlfriend off. I say they are Siberian hampsters. They keep me company when I don't have a girlfriend by running around the kitchen and bedroom. I will miss them if they go but it could be worthwhile if a lady will stay with me.

id just keep them…they'll stop you feeling lonely in your old age!!

my moms getting a exterminator and i need to make sure that he is a bed bug zapper not a roach killer etc…
so i need ro know the common engredients ussually used to kill bed bugs and most effective
an exterminator uses

The links below will be useful and the chemical most often used is Deltamethrin

About 2 wks ago I noticed that I was starting to get bites. I didn't think anything of it until about 3 days later. I'd gotten bug bites ever since I was a kid so it didn't seem like a big deal. Now I have over 50 bites, and I'm extremely freaked over bug that moves. I seem to wake up with them, but I've never seen a bed bug or found any traces of them. First of all, I have a brand new mattress, so throwing it away is not an option. The doctor confirmed that they are from something in the bed. I've called exterminators & they said that they can't legally treat the room for bed bugs if they don't have physical proof of the bug. By now I'm extremely paranoid & won't sleep in my bed. I feel like they're taking over my life even though I've never seen them. I've read everything online & it all points to bed bugs. Does anyone have any personal experiences they could share? I'm not interested in "test" sleeping in my bed to see if I get 50 more. i need the peace of mind that they're all gone
unfortunately i don't have any mattresses in my house to switch with lol. nice prank though.

and regarding the other answer, throwing the mattress out wouldn't necessarily solve the problem anyhow. they could be hiding in base boards, window sills, picture frames, dressers, etc. Like i said i just bought a new bed for $1200 dollars. so why would i throw it out, buy a new bed, and hope that they don't jump into that one too?

i think i'm catching the problem very early on. like, too early to find a nest or anything. but the problem is only going to get worse if i don't get the exterminator to come out. i don't understand why they can't just spray everything anyway. i'm paying for it!?!?

Unless you can trap a bug for the exterminator, you gotta throw the mattress out.

You might ask the exterminator the best way to catch some proof. If they want the work, they'll help.

I use a "memory foam" mattress — the foam is too dense for critters like mites and such. Super comfy too!

Bedbug extermination used to employ DDT — a chemical long known as dangerous to humans — and the stubborness of bedbug infestations requires rather deep saturation of an environment with poison. I assume the law is to protect you from poisoning.

Ask the exterminator if your doctor's diagnosis of bed bug bites isn't proof enough. Or call local health authorities for advice.

i jst moved to some new apartments and i wastold they have bed bugs.i have already gotten bit quite a few times.i know they are bed bugs biting me.there are some blood stain smears on my bed to.i took my bed all apart and i didnt see any signs.then i took my tv stand apart,none then my computer desk,none.i really need help on how to find and kill these little bloodsucking bastards

You will only see them at night. Get up in the middle of the night and turn on the lights then you will see them.

1. Call an exterminator at the landlords expense.
2. Demand your deposit back.
3. Throw out your mattress & box spring.
4. Move to a new apartment and sue this one for replacement of your mattress & box spring.

Has anyone used the product by Spray Away called Good Night to kill bed bugs, I've called an exterminator however the treatment didn't work completely so they're coming out again, in the meantime is there a product to kill these lil m-fers!

Are they bed bugs or dust mites? If you have bed bugs you will need to take your mattress, wrap it in plastic (front/back) like a present and put it in the sun.. That will kill the bed bugs.. I would go to the store or look online for a plastic/rubber mattress cover to surround your mattress and leave it permanetly on.. You can then cover that with a nice waterproof cover that is machine washable. While the mattresses are outside give your room a through cleaning and wipe down your floor boards with cleaner and vacuum your carpeting really well at least once a week. When you unwrap your mattress sprinkle with baking soda and let that sit and vacuum that up as well. It will freshen your mattress and smother the bed bugs… I vacuum my mattress when I change my bedding once a week… Good night sleep tight and well you know the rest !!!
