The chemicals may claim to have a 30 day residual but we are told that more frequent treatments are a good idea and every 30 days is probably going to mean you have bed bugs for a very long time. I am not a PCO. Please click the forums button at top right to go to the forums and ask questions there. You will get more answers. Nightmare,

Ive been noticing bites for about a month I now have about 40-50 bites. Ive just interviewed several PCO's but IM un sure how to pick the right one they are all competitively priced and offer the same treatment procedures. I was thinking about eliminating the ones that dont offer steam cleaning. Does anyone know any thing about Terminex. I'm ready to start treatment immediately .What should I use to disqualify a PCO. Does anyone have any recommendations for the New York area. I would like to chose one today I can not stand this any longer.

He is scheduled to retreat the entire house 30 days from April 29th. Should i still be seeing babies? They are now secluded to only seeing them in the bathroom and closet?

Call your PCO today and try to get the next appointment within the next few days (follow-ups within two weeks are best. Traditional treatments do not kill eggs and the eggs hatch within 7-10 days which sounds like your experience. Do not let up with treatment (approx every two weeks) until all signs of bed bugs and all bites are gone. If you're renting, in a building, sure landlord has neighbors professionally inspected and treated. If you have further questions click the "forums" button top right and go there. Nightmare,
