Treat Bed Bugs

I just woke up with little bugs crawling on me. I used What'sThatBug.com to identify them as bed bugs. I am terrified of little bugs that I can't see at all times, such as bed bugs. I am fine with larger bugs and animals, large spiders, mice, etc. but I aboslutely hate bugs like these.

Could I hire a professional to kill them for me? How much would it cost?

Check around for a procedure called Cryonite, it is claimed to freeze out bed bugs with a carbon dioxide white snow.
Here are the claims of the makers of Cryonite:

Can penetrate into deep cracks a crevices, baseboards, furniture etc.

Kills adults, larvae, and eggs on contact.
Leaves no toxic residue.

Treated area can be inhabited immediately after treatment

Talk to some people that have had the service and find out it it worked. If it works sounds like a safe non-toxic way to rid yourself of the bugs

Is it possible to sue my neighbors for bed bugs ? Recently my house was raided with bedbugs and all my tenants got bites from bedbugs. They had to throw away their mattress, rugs, and other expensive items. My tenants and other neighbors are pointing fingers to my next door landlord in my block because he keeps his house in horrible condition and puts his garbage with no lid. Apparently this landlord had bed bugs before but tried to kill the bed bugs using commercial products ( I was told by one of his tenants). I hired a bed bug exterminator today and that sh*t cost A LOT! I was wondering if there is any way to prove that it is his fault my house is raided ?

Contrary to popular belief bed bugs are not a result of poor hygiene or unsanitary conditions. You will have to prove it that first he has or had bed bugs and that second they came from him. This is actually not possible. Bed bugs are spread often by birds, rodents or even brough t in on furniture, textiles even on people by way of bags, shoes or clothing.

You can certainly sue for anything however you probably won't win as the burden of proof on this one is damn near impossible to establish.

I just watched show on tv about this….they recommended having an exterminator spray. They are able to get chemicals that are strong enough to kill the bugs.

I found a bed bug on my bag upon returning home in Canada. What have other people done to succesfully rid themselves of these bugs before bringing the backpack in the house?

Thanks

Agreed that high heat will work - needs ot be around 120 to 130 degrees.

But it is hard to get a suitcase into the clothes dryer so you need to get it done. if you do not want ot throw it away, you need to spray it with either a chemcial treatment or a non-chemical treatment or both.

Chemcial treatments are avaiable at many hardware stores and non-chmecial treatment tend to be online purchases. One that works well is Kleen-Free enzymes (www.Kleen-Free.com online). Most of the non-chemical treatments are contact killers only so they will only kill what they are sprayed on but they also have no residual effect so you can use them around kids and pets etc.

You also need to watch closely at home for signs that you may have missed a hitchike or two. But it will be a couple of months before you can be certain that there are others around. Watch for bites in the morning and look for small brown spots on your sheets and mattress.

Just noticed that you said Canada in yoru question so I will point out that the Kleen-Free distributor in Canada is www.Ecoginesis.com according to the website.

Good luck and keep your eyes open and some treatment handy.

I have a bed bug infestation in my building and I am loosing my mind. I have had a couple bites which are suspicious, but the landlord sent an exterminator and he said that he could not find any bugs so there was nothing he could do. Is there anything I can do to either prevent the bugs form spreading to my apartment, or treat the ones that might already be there? I don't want to wait until I have a full-blown infestation to do something. I am worried that exterminators will just inspect and not have a plan of action if they can't find any.

I would appreciate any help. This is really affecting me and I am not sure what to do.

If the exterminator won't do anything then you are on yoru own. I woudl caution you about trying to apply chemicals on yoru own as that shoudl only be done by a pro.

You may want to get csome kind of chemical free bedbug spray like Kleen-Free or BedBug Terminator that they also make and start using it every day to spray around yoru place but remember it is only a contact spray so it will get rid of what it hits…of course if you have nothing then chemical or no chemical there is nothing happening. probably your safest route is to try spraying some of he Bedbug stuff around and hope that if there is a bug or two you hit it.

You will also want your neighbouring apartments to get in on thsi as well since if they are keeping the bedbugs out of their apartment then they are that much further from yours! Band together and keep a blcok of apartments clear.

Good luck…
