I hope soon the forums will be up and working again. Until then, this is the ongoing thread where people ask questions about bed bugs, give us updates on their bed bug situations, and share ideas for fighting the little mahogany monsters. When it gets too long, I close the thread and start a new one to keep the conversation going. If you want to see it, the prior thread was here. To see all the Tales of Woe entries, click here.

We have a simple remedy for bedbugs my grandmother used. The bedbugs in my great grandmother’s house in Maca-as, Catmon, Cebu, Philippines disappeared when we used this.
The skin of the jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus or Artocarpus heterophylla) placed inside the room and below the furniture just made the bedbugs disappear after one week. No more bedbugs!
Another remedy my grandparents in Baktas, Catmon, Cebu, Philippines used was to put goats under the house. Or to nail dried goat skin around the house.
In two weeks time, the bedbugs will jut disappear….I don’t know where they go, but you cannot find them anymore.
Hi Rudy,
I have no way of verifying whether dried goat’s skin or jackfruit skin have repellent properties. Since bed bugs are hard to catch in the act, and since many people do not react to bed bug bites, they may simply have been hiding well and biting someone else.
If you do not find dead bed bugs, then the bed bugs did not disappear. Perhaps they moved to a different part of the same home (perhaps even digging in deeper), perhaps they moved to a neighbor. This is the problem with repellents. You do not want bed bugs to relocate; you want them dead. Or they may well come back in the near future.
