How to get rid of bed bugs?

Sounds to me it's not clean in your bedroom at all. I would advice you to get everything out of there and clean it up very well (use the chemicals). A window would be better since it's a must to ventilate daily. Also you do need to clean the bed, the matrass(es) etc. Tea won't help you, perhaps eating a lot of garlic will make them bite you less. Are you sure this isn't woodworm? Freezing can help but I assume you are not able to do that. If it's woodworm this is the way how they did it in the "old" times. A cheap piece of wood was put in a part of the bed or closet (for example the back). The woodworm (if there is any) was getting in that so you were saving the rest (better quality of wood). The infected part of wood was changed out frequently. If it's woodworm you can buy a kind of "oil" with wich you "paint" the wood. The woodworm will die. It's not dangerous if you sleep in it later on. Would advise you to check the rest of your bedroom/house as well. Unless you bought the bed with bugs already in it, it will be in other parts of your house as well.

Oh goodness me, i feel so scared while reading your discussion. i think pesticides and chemicals r a complete no for your bed since u and your small baby would be adversely affected due to it. Yes spraying tea can be a good idea that i have also heard long back. i also know that there r some homemade remedies that can help u get rid of bed bugs.

Oh i hate bed bugs, they ITCH big time! Why not put it out in the sun? i experienced once when one of the foam beds we had had those bugs.. i let it out in the sun for hours..and it was fine afterwards.

We don't have this problem in our family,because we have made it a point to put our bed in sun for an hour or two everyday.Keeping your bed in the sun for a few hours is a sure shot remedy for getting rid of bed bugs.You have rightly mentioned spraying tea on your bed.I remember my mother doing it long ago,but I don't know the concoction.Perhaps you have to boil tea leaves with water and then spray the water on your bed.I know it works,but putting your bed in the sun is the best solution.

My best friend once got infested with bed bugs, while we were travelling. We don't know why, but her ankle got swollen and she couldn't walk for a while. We have not experienced bed bugs at home. I am so paranoid though, especially after what happened, that I have gathered tips here and there to prevent ever having bed bugs. I have learned to soak sheets, blankets, pillow cases, pillow in boiling water, wash them with warm water, dry them as much as possible under the sun, and spray them with lavender, as I read somewhere they're good against bed bugs and they smell nice too. I do the same to the mattress except the soaking part.

Do you know what is a mattress cover? You can look for one that is anti-bed bug. They also come in pillow cases. This will help a lot. It can be washed in washing machines and do not take a long time to dry.

Back in the day, a person would put it in the sun for 8 hours and that might not even get them. Washing all your bedding in hot/hot water will get them out of the linens, but if they are in the matters then they are harder to get rid of. Bed bugs usually leave a yellow/brown trail along the seam of the matters. If you see that, then would suggest getting a mattress cover. You know one of those that completely encloses the mattress. Zip up the mattress and the box spring. You can try washing your pillows but if it were me I'd just throw them away. Any carpeted surface, vaccum that as well.

Hi, I suggest bringing the bed and everything in it to a place that can't accumulate water, pour boiling hot water in it and away those bedbugs go. Those who remain can do so at their own risk. For added effect, you may add scents from aromatic leaves or flowers to have that "bed of roses" smell when it has dried.

kindly change bedsheets and pillow covers regularly. along with that, try to pat the mattress as you change or clean the room so that the bugs will be distracted and cannot make their colony permanently in there. if there is sun, you can expose it under it. or yet, it is better for you to buy new mattress and you can use this option not to have bugs in your bed.
