it takes 10-14 days for the eggs to hatch, and no, the chemicals don’t kill the eggs.
so yes, you will have new, as well as a few old bugs running around after the first spraying.
a good PCO should spray every 14 days, I feel that maybe every 10 days is best.

you say you have them also in the toilet area…do you keep dirty laundry in a hamper in there? dirty laundry should be kept in a extra large zip lock bag, till it’s washed on hot, and dryed or over an hour. then put into a “clean” zip lock bag.
I have one “dirty” and one “clean” ziplock bag, and just reuse a small amount of clothes.
now your bathroom needs to be treated with spraying, and be carful, they might be in your closets too.

please read the FAQ at the top of the page for a lot of extra help and advice.

I’m sure the bites have gotten less since the first spraying…it takes time as well as more sprayings from your PCO.
I’m at 2 months and I’m not bug free yet.

UPDATE:
well it’s been almost two weeks since I even had time to sleep on my couch to test it for bugs. I’ve been mostly at my lady’s house since the death of my father, so I can’t say how bug free my bedroom is as well…but it should be close to bug free. the couch has been an obstical from the begining.
there were days that would go by, that I never got bit. as a result, I felt it getting better by alot.
now I’m not sure.
well last night was the big night to test the couch for bugs. I was expecting to get 1 or 2 new bites as they must be starving from not having a good meal for the past 10-14 days.
let’s just say that I didn’t even fall asleep, and jumped up just 5 mins after laying down. killing one ultra small one on my hand. turning on the living room light to see if I’m just crazy, or if it was a real bug, I now notice a larger adult cralling across my shirt.
WTF!!!!
them starving bastards can’t even wait for me to goto sleap? now I can’t sleep at all!!!
so now my finger has a bite, my left arm has a large welt like bite too.
I’m sure that it was far more then just the two bugs having lunch on me last night. yet it only shows how bad it can get when they don’t feed.
I will need to just redo my couch again, tomorrow. trying to sleep on the couch might be hard at first, maybe I’ll just sit and watch some TV to have them come out.

oh, that larger adult…sprayed Bedlam on him. while he stoped running on the spot, he still twitched a bit. even after 5 mins, he would still twitch if I touched him. as wet with bug spray as could be, he was still alive!!!!
one spray of Kleen Free and he was dead.
no more Bedlam for me, it just don’t kill fast enough or good enough…maybe it works on nymphs better. but who sprays things they can’t see. if it doesn’t kill things I CAN see, then what’s the point.
sadly, I’m down to 1 can of D-Force to spray my couch with it.
no need to do more dusting, but I could use more Kleen Free and D-Force.
my dad’s arangements wiped me out, and I still borrowed over $8,000
man, talk about bad timming.

Tree, it gets better even if you have a few set backs.
the trick is to keep fighting, and let time and the chemicals do the dirty work for ya.
good luck and keep asking questions.

At first pass, this seems unlikely. But I just came back from my second trip somewhere since having bedbugs, and an odd pattern has emerged.

Just so you know, I was insanely cautious when packing for both these trips. My backpack went in the dryer for an hour, my clothes were all freshly cleaned and in ziplocs, my shoes and gadgets were sprayed with Kleen Free, etc.

I was at my parents’ house in Florida for 2 weeks over the holidays. On the fourth day, I found a bite on my leg. (Of course, I totally freaked out). But no other bites appeared on that trip, and they haven’t noticed anything in their house.

Then, I just came back from New York, staying with my sister for a long weekend. On the fourth day I found a bite on my leg and another (tiny, potential) bite on my hand. I know it’s too soon to tell if she has them (ie, if I brought them with me), but regardless, I am wondering if this Day 4 thing is worth exploring.

Might I be reacting to bites four days after they happened? There have been other times when I am almost certain when I was bit (ie, saw a live bug) and the bite appeared almost right away.

But with these smaller or more questionable bites (ie less itchy, no swelling) I am wondering if they are just showing up to the party really, really late.

Any ideas or similar experience?

i am ordering stuff (chemicals) this weekend from home.

bugalina - therefore if you have been here since last april you have until about december to get your stuff out? i would do a bad at a time, after washing and drying procedure. also, furniture wise i would spray them at the time intervals a pco does while they are still in storage? never too soon to start figuring it out.

(deleted) its funny ispend so much time of these sites and im at work. cant keep away or stop reading stuff. takes hours out of my day. obsessed, to say the least.

i wonder if they have a bb retirement home, like the actors retirement home where you can go b/c exterminating them took all your money? (LOL - a joke). but they really are a head trip.
