Boric acid does work. It works the same way as diotomaceous earth. My recollection is that it is sharp and cuts their bodies when they go through it. Like...
Why? simple, I head the Bed Bug program there and the results are outstanding, how can I say that? My treatments also come with a full warranty...find me @...
Hey there, It rings true that the bites show up some time after you're actually bitten, that seems to have been the case with us, and it first it was alarming....
Barb, It's primarily a stomach poison (it is a poison: the main mode of action is not as an abrasive and act on the exocuticle as does DE). I noted in my post...
Barb, I've posted to list, too. According to the description of boric acid, it will, but its main mode of action as a stomach poison is via ingestion. It...
DE is a desiccant...I don't think boric acid is classified as such ?? DE acts upon the ectoskeleton as it dehydrates it - Yes or No??? I don't think boric...
HI Deb, Boric acid and its salts, borates, have been used in medicine as a bactericide, a fungicide, and an antiseptic since the 1860s (check your eye drops),...
You are all so brave. I'm not. I can't take another day of it. I'm moving out (with literally none of my things for fear of bringing them with me), but I want...
I would suggest a hammer....pound it up and damage it in any way you can...you can purchase some bright orange spray paint and spray POISONED WITH BED BUGS all...
Well, I threw out ALL of my furniture from the bedroom, living room and some from the kitchen and even the bathroom hamper. So the apartment looks like it's...
You MUST damage the furniture, before putting out on the street if that is your only option. Don't just put a sign on it, with "Bedbugs" on it...b/c people who...
My landlord will not let us out of our lease, but I refuse to live in that apartment while they twiddle their thumbs about treating the building. So I guess...
Just to add to bbkillaz' good advice-- lots of people who DO speak english also don't get it. most people don't get what the "big deal" is. they'd sell your...
Hi holawayj, I'm very sorry for your troubles, but I feel it necessary to tell you a few things you may not want to hear: 1) One treatment by a PCO is not...
Hello everyone, It's been a while since my last post, but I've been lurking. As always, your strength in the face of failure, and eventual success has been...
Hey Holawayj, I'm gonna second Josla03 here and say that you probably don't want to rush to move right now. But I'm not saying that because you need to "do...

I remember reading that if you fill a balloon with your breath, and leave it on the floor, the BB's will be attracted to it and come out to inspect it, b/c...
Hi All, In addition to telling people about our ordeal, we travel differently now. It seems the majority of peeps on this site get them from your apt building...
This is great advice, but NYC landlords are a breed amongst themselves. I couldn't even get my managing agent to come to the phone after the first treatment...
We got out of our lease, even tho the landlord did treat the problem. I just knew the problem would never go away because the entire building was infested;...
Considering the habits and life cycles of bedbugs - how long does it take after a PCO sprays for all of the bugs to be gone. Also in response to another...
Please take bedbugs seriously. This can be life-threatening to many people. If anyone in your home has an unexplained "acne breakout"or any other skin rash,...
You answered your own question Ellyn. The only way to know if they are there is to put your self up as bait. This is a truly terrible epidemic that our entire...
Bec I don't believe that you can rely on cold temperatures to be assured that your furniture doesn't harbor viable specimens. The contents in your storage...
