Im not going to waste your time reading my personal stories of BB, nor am i going to waste my time writing them because believe me! ive been thru hell and still going thru them because ive moved into a poor old building to save money on cheaper rent. A personal tip to anyone who is dealing with BBs...SILICONE!, this right here will be your best friend. I silicone'd every crack and hole in my apartment which took 1 week, put fresh clothes in bags(tightly). Put all belongings in the center of all rooms, opened all counter doors, then called the professionals to fumiagate the whole place and spray on my stuff that was centered. By using silicone to cover all the cracks and holes...it made it much harder for these little fuQers to hide and breed. They couldnt run anywhere. Have the professionals come visit 2 or 3 more times just in case they couldnt kill the eggs. This is was done in my old apartment. the problem was taken care of. However now in my new apartment(the poor old building) i must do it again. It alot of work because you have to make sure you cover every single crack and hole that maybe connected with a neighbor next door who might be giving you the BBs or vice versa...take ur time doing it because this is what really counts.

This can change in time. Andrea,

Your mum is wrong of course--they are not in your room because it's messy (even if it is!) They also will infest metal beds as well as wooden, and she could be bitten and have no response/not see bed bugs. Please get professional help ASAP to deal with this, but rest assured, they don't want to infest your body. If you have more questions, please come to the forums: http://bedbugger.com/forum Sarah,

Today I showed my mum and she flipped. She got really angry with me and says its because I'm messy (I'm 18) as they're not in her room; I think this may be because they haven't travelled there yet, also her bed has metal legs. I heard that bedbugs have a harder time climbing metal than wood? she even started talking about moving out! This would mean I have to leave ALL my stuff behind even clothes. for pretty obvious reasons I DONT want to move, but I am terrified of ALL types of bugs. For years I have had an irrational fear that any type of bug will lay eggs on/in my body. Please tell me that bed bugs won't do this as I really am scared to sleep in my bed. I want to sleep in my mums bed- I no I shouldn't do this but how am i going to sleep knowing that things are crawling all over me? so again please can someone give me some assurance that they won't leg eggs on me/ crawl in my mouth Thanks Hi everyone,

The other faqs can help you figure out what questions to ask and how to find a good PCO. Once you find a good PCO, they will have specific advice for you that you must follow. If you rent, your landlord should be notified and is in most locations responsible for coordinating treatment and inspection of adjacent apartments. Visit the forums (blue button above right) to talk to others for support and advice. Don't delay. Start making those calls and try to keep calm and focused and you will be able to solve this problem.
