I have them. Those f***ing monsters. I started getting bit about two weeks ago. But it was tonight, within the last hour in fact, when I caught one of this awful pests speeding across my comforter. Now I know for sure what I am dealing with. Now I am paraniod. I cannot go to sleep. GRRRRRRRRRRR I need help really bad. Anyone who has dealt with them before surely knows how I feel now. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks... Sorry about the cussing but I'm really upset. Why me?
Yeah bed bugs are serious. I know when i was signing my apartment lease, I had to legally state that I didn't know about having bed bugs or living in a vicinity with them for the past 2 years. They are a serious epidemic.
you need to wash your entire wardrobe and all of your linens in hot water to kill anything hiding in the deep dark corners or pockets of your (apartment?) then you need to decontaminate your bed area and your whole room for that matter. you can do alot your self but you need to call an exterminator and also if it is an apartment building, the place is probably infested. it's easy to tell on your sleeping area for evidence of bed bugs (besides the obvious bites you mention). look in the corners and tufts of your mattress and comforter for bed bug shells, fecal matter, or blood spots. YAY! p.s. at night, they are detecting your warmth and dropping down on you from all areas, injecting you with a slight anesthethic so you dont feel them when they go in for the main line. good times. they have taken over New York and Los Angeles.
Thats one creature that makes you wonder why it was made. Along with mosquitoes, roaches, rats, nats, wasps, tapeworms, fleas, and termites
When I was in college our apartment got infested with them. We pretty much had to get rid of all the furniture put mattress covers on our mattresses($6 at WalMart) and still it took like 3 months for us to be completely free from those things.
I can't do a search but if you can I think there was a topic about this with some suggestions a few months back.
I would rather sleep on the floor than deal with that. Throw the mattress out, nuke the apartment, clothes, etc.
That purple and red thing is what they stick you with. They also basically rape each other to have sex, apparently.
