Me too, Parakeets. In fact, I prefer being bundled up. But I leave some skin showing on my legs because I prefer being bitten there to my face. The face...
Great idea, Rebecca! I'd recommend putting together a plan for your city to better manage this spreading epidemic. (If your city has one, or other cities...
Not sure how long a bed bug can live in a perfectly sealed (hermetically sealed) plastic bag. Don't forget that some plastics may be permeable to oxygen...
This is interesting, and sad. An article on families in Edmonton who were evicted because they did not prepare for their building to be sprayed. You can see...
Hi all, I just wanted to update everyone on how things are going. The last time I posted, I had just brought bedbugs into my boyfriend's apartment after he ...
I have heard this about the glue....that it is very strong....someone told me that Kleen Free...or a product called The Bed Bug Terminator will work on the ...
I have read in my online research....that bedbugs breed slower in cooler, and drier environments...and that they are less acclimated to drier environments..So...
Also...if you are using DRIONE....which is a terrific mechanical killer..it does not do well with humidity...it soaks it up and loses efficacy...so keeping...
I have the same problem you do. I tell people I lead a "zip-locked- life" since nearly everything I own is in zippered plastic bags, even things in drawers....
Wow! You go, girl! You have been CALLED to write this. Policy is exactly what we need. Some policy ideas: --How various individual cities' bedbug management...
I'm not sure. I'll have to look up some info (if it exists and is readily available).. I do know that first instar nymphs that I reared from eggs had no blood...
So Lou you are saying that instars lasted at least 6 wks with no blood meal...how about going further ..as far as it takes for all of them to die !! Deb ... ...

I've had these bugs for 9 months now and I'm starting to believe I am imagining them. I have seen evidence of them, but now after fighting them harder than...
I was raving last week about a guy on NY's Indymedia site, who wrote an article telling people he was going to isolate his bed, use a wee bit of DE around the...
Here are some things you can do about bedbugs that don't cost anything and that will definitely improve things "big picture" and maybe make you feel a bit...

from the Indian Times. Reincarnation is an allegory for the inextricable interpenetrability of consciousness, all consciousness. If you go about cheating and...
Yes. The bugs hatched from eggs and then I left them in the container for 6 weeks (possibly a few days longer) before I fed them on me. They were in a 1/2...
I'll post again about this on the site when I've had a chance to process, but we still have them. After a very hopeful month of no bites, nothing, my husband...
Kate..I have to go meet someone but I will def. respond to him...he is an idiot..and this kind of thinking is dangerous to the spread...you all know how I feel...
We are in the same boat. I have been bite for a year. took 6 months to figure out what was happening. I have ordered the same things as you to combat these...
Thank you Geoff..I am going to print this up and really go over it...I did have an opportunity to pass along a letter to someone very high up at Fox News...the...
Hi Barb It sounds real to me. Sometimes we want to pathologize this and come up with some sound psychological reason why we feel the way we do with these...
This is the ghost of things to come....Bedbugs will bring out the Scrooges and the Stooges...I still find it hard to accept that there isn't more public outcry...
Hello! I wonder if anyone can give me some guidance as to where to learn much, much more about the BB life cycle. I know that their progression through the...
Lou, Just clarifying- these nymphs that you raised from eggs had NO blood meal when they hatched. They were kept in a closed jar for six weeks without feeding...
I would suggest that Gladwell himself might be very interested in the whole bed bug phenomenon. It provides a perfect "tipping point" metaphor, especially the...
