Eeewwww, BEDBUGS!!

Hi. dragon54u. I have seen bedbugs. At first I did not know what they were. I looked these bugs up on the Internet and they matched what I had seen. When my husband would go to his parents house, he would somehow bring back some bedbugs with him. I know that we did not have any bedbugs at all. So I was asking myself where were they coming from? Once I found out, I was so disgusted! My in-laws has bedbugs because my sister-in-law brought back some bedbugs from some furniture and some spreads that she never cleaned. My mother and father-in-law ended up using them and they got bitten all up by these bedbugs! I saw the bumps on my mother-in-law and I thought that they were the Shingles. But they weren't. They were bedbugs. It was so terrible. I am so funny about sleeping on the beds of any motel rooms. I am glad that I don't have to go to that route anymore either.

the only bed bugs that i know crawling on my bed before where the vermin s or cockroaches. yeah, really creepy to their 6 legs, sometimes i get awake if they pass through, when i get mad and pass through me i would get mad and splat them with my sandals

I think personally there is no real reason for these, and why they show up some of the areas they do. I have heard that you could have even spotless house, or work place and find them there. Not sure if it happens because someone carried them from somewhere, or they fly to somewhere or what, but they are no fun. Problem is until you start getting bit, etc. from one you never know they're there unless you spot them with a magnefying glass.

I dislike bedbugs ... I think there's a certain kind of spray to remove all these bugs. Not sure what brand and all that..

hope i havent already responded to this. i see its a bit old but found it. i havent seen any for years thank god when i was about 12yrs, we moved in an apartment and i was woke up all night with bites. i ended up with giant welks all over. my mom and step dad had none he checked the beds and yes they had them. mom boiled the sheets, he dismantled the beds, took them outside and took paper fire torches and ran all around it all even the mattresses, altho he was very care ful just to singe and not catch on fire. that got rid of them. it was a really old wives cure, his mom had taught him.

I know bedbugs and know its anatomy too. They are the worst blood suckers. But I am a bit puzzled to know that how come you have them there as their most favorite ares is the tropical one. They prefer worm and humid condition. Might be the immigrants bedbugs have got to their move and are now conversant with your climate too. lol

Hi dragon, that sounds really gross, I've never heard of that before. Can they actually be seen? Is it something like head lice which can fly around schools? Anyway I'm going off this discussion fast as it's making me itchy. Suppose that one would have to go with the old 'Gone with the Wind' treatment and get thoroughly deloused, or de bed bugged in this case, and then have the house fumigated and start sleeping on the floor as the bed will be binned somewhere.

The university my sister goes to had an awful outbreak of bed bugs! It was a huge scare! I hadn't really ever heard much about them before that. I always believed they were just a part of a saying ;-) Sleep tight, Don't let the bed bugs bite! I've done some research on them, since hearing about the outbreak, and they're definitely creepy! I'm so glad I've never had a problem with them in my house. I can't even imagine. As for other bugs - unfortunately those do make their way into our house. My husband and I live out in the country, so we often see spiders and flies enter our house. They're hard to prevent. Sometimes it gets really frustrating and annoying, but we deal.

strayed animals and lack of hygiene would be a major cause. Try to kill all abandoned animals and shoot filthy neighbors. And pour on a whole town some water with detergent!

Bedbugs our problem at home want I do I tried to hunt them I sprayed them with insecticides or poured it with hot water. I believe that my Father brought it at home because they have bedbugs in their camp. I can't sleep at night because of their bites sometimes I think what if I burn my bed but it is very disappointing to throw it. I tried to put my bed under the sun together with the mattress. I hope I'm going to rid all of them because I sprayed insecticides last Friday. They are very hard to kill because at the short period of time they can lay eggs. I don't know it there's boric acid here that is effective in killing bedbugs.

I never buy used furniture because I had found out that down here in the south the bed bug's are really bad. And when I buy even a used stereo or TV, I alway's take bleach to the outside of it. You never know what you may track home.

whoaa, cant believe that this creature also exists in other countries:)) Well i do myself experienced this "kutu busuk" or "bangsat" attack as our people called it. Here is again my another tips :D 1. The main cause that invites this outbreak is the humidity of an area. The clammier the place, the more vulnerable it is from the attack. So my advice is dry it with sunlight [Dunno whether bringing your springbed outside to dry it with sunlight is a common thing in your country:p]. Dry it regulary, i bet they will die. But it just TEMPORARY 2. The other repel for this creature is petroleum. Swept it all over your spring bed, i know it will caused your spring bed smells so bad. But it kills them a lot. Again,, it is TEMPORARY 3. The best way and the PERMANENT one is, calling some bug buster, then let them kill those bug, and remember, this bedbug eggs is invulnerable against any chemical attack, they wont die just because some pesticide spray, so throw out the infected spring bed or tools, and then burn them all hope the outbreak overcome soon, because it can spread massively

eeew, nasty little beasties! My only major experience with bedbugs was on a holiday once, when my best friend and I rented a cottage in Ireland. Beautiful place, we went there to watch wild dolphins, which you could see from the cottage. But, sadly, the two sofa beds we slept on were infested and we got up after the first night itching like mad and spent a good part of the week applying appropriate lotions! And we drank a lot of Guinness. For medicinal purposes, of course.

I've had bed bugs. I found useful information and products on how to get rid of them on the internet, e.g.: http://758caee2.seriousurls.com

If you live in Ohio you are very lucky not to have them. At last count, they have spread to at least 1 out of every 7 homes here. I am having an encounter with them as well currently. However, this will be my last. There is nothing that actually "causes" bedbugs to come into your home vs another. Bedbugs do not care about clean or dirty; they just like warm-blooded mammals, their favorite being humans. I have actually found a way to get rid of bedbugs, one that I plan to share with the world because it is way cheaper, safer, and more effective than what is on the market today. If you would like to find out more about my method, please visit my blog http://cincyvsbedbugs.blogspot.com. Leave a comment, and tell all your friends. The only way to battle these things is awareness!
