I think its that anyone with cats is gonna ask about the toxicity of the extermination treatment. Cats are probably harder to get out of a house than...
I've noticed a progression here. The number of posts on this board are increasing 1.8 times each month-- 27 posts (February) 27 x 1.8 = 49 posts (March) 49 x...
I stayed this weekend at my brother's lovely home. Except for one outfit that I had worn the day before, I washed the clothes I took with me and packed them...
oh i mean, i have just noticed that a lot of bedbug sufferers have cats... or is it that a lot of cat owners are also bedbug sufferers? who knows. the guy...
... I know that birds can have bedbug bites. I saw a bedbug (before I knew what it was) on the floor of my parakeets' cage and they were looking at it with...
Funny! My bedbugs are more of an autonomous collective... If you like Anime and can find the movie, I highly recommend Twilight of the Cockroaches. John...
After two treatments at my college dorm room school was out, and I carefully packed up and moved back home. Now, after two weeks of being home the bedbugs are...
Even professional treatments don't always get rid of bedbug infestations, so I think you are right on target, that it is "impossible to get rid of them without...
Hi Everyone. Parakeets2006, I am really sorry to hear your pain. I really hope things go in a positive direction for you. I would really appreciate it if...
I can't recall if this is the exact phrase but Warrenty of Implied Habitability is the thing that protects us apartment dwellers from stuff like this. If the...
I can tell you what I am doing. I am not moving until the bedbugs are gone first. Otherwise I am pretty sure I will take them with me, unless I take nothing...
I have been pinning a Bounce Dryer sheet on my t-shirt when I go to bed the last few nights and I haven't been bitten. Until I did this I was bitten every...
so, we've got the damn bugs. as many of you probably know, those who claim to be experts about this tend to tell you grandiosely that you have to "get rid of...
Hello all! Two months ago, on a warm Saturday morning and after having my boyfriend complaining for to weeks that he was itchy all the time, I realized My...
I can relate. I have a lot of papers and books, "clutter," and I am at wits end. I think the people who cavalierly say "get rid of your stuff" don't have...
Lets consider this board a good place to hammer out a "best practice" for dealing with bedbugs. This is my procedure right now... Bedbugs ain't cockroaches!...
Update: Darn, the Bounce dryer sheets only fooled the bedbugs for a week. They somehow figured it out and started biting me nightly again. I'm bummed out....
ok. now we are thinking of heating many of our belongings which we can not clean sufficiently or get rid of. the question is, how hot do we need to get things...
hi parakeet, can't see why bounce *would* work when terribly harsh and bedbug- specific chemicals are sometimes not even strong enough these days.... would it...
... Actually, the theory about the dryer sheets was not that it kills the bedbugs, but that it would just confuse their hard-wired brains -- disguising the CO2...
According to a company that has a heat treatment to kill bedbugs, "All stages of the bedbug (eggs, nymphs and adults) die in 15 minutes at 115°F." Of course...
I would love to encourage people to post helpful links to this site. I'm not sure if everyone has the ability or not but I hope so - there is actually a...
hi parakeet, i am sorry the bounce didn't work! and i'll work on posting all those links as soon as i organize them later tonight.... i think hotels should...
so i'm unfortunatly in need of this support group. the bed bug problem started oct. 2005 and after two exterminator visits about a week apart, i was good for 8...
I would hope you wouldn't have to buy new furniture. For mattresses, vinyl covers help. For the rest, someone mentioned an exterminator that can use heat to...
