Hi all, here's my deal. Two days ago I noticed that I was itching in the middle of the afternoon. When I got home I saw like 30 bites on my back, torso, hips...
Hi Lori, It sounds like bedbugs to me. I searched a few times before finding any sign of them; sometimes they hide inside the box spring, which makes them hard...
Thank you so much for having this support group! I am like so many of you. I found out I had bed bugs in November of 2005. My doctor told me when she saw all...
I want to move but I am terrified that I will either 1) bring the bugs with me, or 2) move to a building that already has bedbugs. People are moving into my...
1) Put a thick coating of Vaseline on the legs of your bed. It helped me. 2) I bought Demand spray on the Internet. It is legal in my state. 3) When you...
There's probably no easy way to answer this question. The odds that someone looking to rent an apartment would actually tell a potential new renter that the...
hi there: first of all, i'm glad that you found us. it sounds like you're going through a really bad situation, and i know from experience that it can help to...
Thank for the suggestions. I hadn't even thought of the possilibity of bed bugs being in the moving vans, too. Oh, no. I was interested in your question...
Yes, it is so helpful to have a place to "talk." Thanks for your post! I also am an avid reader and I have thrown half my books away. I did scrupulously...
I have bedbugs and though my landlord and I have been treating, I still have them. I stay overnight with friends and relatives and am freaking that I might...
Does your sister have bedbugs?? I think sometimes a little paranoia goes a long way for a little peace of mind. Your suggestions sound like good ones. I only...
I hopefully am "at the end of my ordeal," too. I used to sometimes see bedbugs (on my mattress, on the baseboard, even on the floor) and now I don't. I still...
I defintiely visited friends a good deal while I had bedbugs (I wasn't inviting them over to my place, that's for sure!) and none of them ever ended up with...
Don't know if it will help you, but I calked my moldings and floor joints. I know my bugs were living in cracks in my walls, so I'm pretty sure this helped a...
I posted a few weeks ago wondering if I might have bedbugs. Since then I covered my mattress and boxspring in plastic covers. I bought a superpowered vaccuum...
The "rash" is different from the bites themselves. When I had my first bedbug bites, I got a strong reaction, with rashes and welts where I was bitten....
i live in new york city, and i had an infestation of bedbugs about a year ago, called the owner of my building, who paid for an exterminator to come 3...
It would seem to me that it should be the responsibility of the building owner to do regular pest control of the entire building, on the basis of maintaining...
That's scary! My infestation was nearly 2 years ago ... Gosh, I can't IMAGINE what I'd do if they came back! ... I really can't! There would be much...
I took an adult school course about landlord/tenant law to learn about this very problem. I did learn that the laws vary by state and municipality, but in...
Here is a website from a company that gets rid of bedbugs using heat treatments. I have no connection to this company--just a connection to BEDBUGS!!! I find...
Saw this link because I'm getting clicks to my blog from it. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11823244/ Looks like there might be a story on Sunday night's Dateline...
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11823244/ Above is the Dateline website on their bedbug show of 3/19/2006. They had a lot of material, and their website has even...
I have bedbugs, and had them long before I even knew what they were. I have a lot of bites, mostly on my back and upper arms, but I also have discolorations...
