Treat Bed Bugs

Are You Safe?

No, bedbugs are vary hard to get rid of… it is not that simple.

I have been freaking out for the past month or two now about having bed bugs. We were treated and did everything we were told and are now beginning to get the bites again. We thought it may have been dust mites (and still haven’t ruled them out) but now I found a bug FINALLY! It looks like a flea maybe? It definately doesnt look like a bed bug. Its not flat or brown. It looks like a humpback with that long back leg like a flea. But it also looks like it just fed of something cause its ‘hump’ looks like its full of blood. Any thoughts on what it could be if not flea or bed bug? Also our bites dont really look like/follow the pattern of bed bugs. No ‘wheel’ or ‘breakfast lunch dinner’ multi bites. Theyre basically random bites all over. Could it be an allergy? Help please!
Thats what I've thought too but wouldn't finding a flea and never finding a bed bug point more toward the fleas? And do exterminators use the same chemicals to treat fleas as bed bugs?

Its sounds to me as if they are bed bugs..
Have you ever seen a picture? Well I had bed bug problem in my home too and they are really hard to find unless the infestation has grown way too much.

There are some products i found that could be used for both bed bugs and fleas as well. Such as an aerosol spray Bed Lam. Being an aerosol spray and all it has the ability to kill the minute it is sprayed on the pest itself. But you have to consider that fact that it will take some time if not sprayed directly on top of the bug.

Check this site out http://www.pestmall.com/bed-bugs.html they have real videos on bed bug inspections and treatment methods.

and the link to the bed lam product http://www.pestmall.com/beinsptokibe.html

It was very helpful to me so i advise you try too.

Can over the counter foggers kill bed bugs? if so what are the names of the products? and the names of the stores?
Thank You

Yes, but those fogger things can only kill the existing bed bugs. Then they will be back shortly. Trust me!! I have been though all that. We tried everything you could ever imagine, but those evils always find the way to come back to bite us. Finally we found BedBugPowder from the site below, and it worked!! It is organic powder that is safe to humans and pets. Use the foggers first, I would recommend you using steamcleaner better though. Heat can kill bed bugs without messing your room up. :)
Then use BedBugPowder on your bed. We have not been bitten for at least 2 years since we started using it. Good luck.

I was infested with bed bugs and I could see them crawling around. It took some time before we started using serious pest controls to treat the problem because we didn’t even know these bugs existed and were so tough to get rid of. We moved to another apartment in the same neighborhood and mostly me, among 4 adults kept complaining about itchiness. By this time (around 2 years after seeing the bed bugs for the 1st time, and after having used so many products to treat them and not seeing them anymore) I always felt something crawling around my body which some times left tiny welts after scratching. We had a “professional” exterminator take care of the problem, and we wash all clothes. I constantly clean, mop and vacuum, and still have the same welts from time to time or feel itchy, especially my armpits and when sitting at my desk. I have inspected the whole apartment everywhere; beds and all furniture included, with no signs of bugs. What else can it be if not bugs and if it’s really bugs, can the adults survive by eating the small ones(which are really hard to see), and not coming out of their super hidden place? Thank you for any valuable help or advice

Make sure it’s not scabies
