in Doha, Qatar (Middle East) and have been suffering through what I am

An anonymous reader who has bed bugs in an apartment wrote to describe her bed bug problem.  She definitely has them but neither she nor partner react to them.  She says,
The thing that troubles me the most is how will I know if they are ever truly gone?
They say bite free for x amount of […]

A reader, “Waiting in Manhattan,” got in touch with me via email today. She found the insect below wandering around the living room in broad daylight, and she’s waiting to have it inspected by a pest control company tomorrow.

This is pretty clearly a photo of a bed bug.

This FAQ started out with the title: “Heat and bed bugs: 5 minutes in a dryer– really? Say it’s so!” The first part outlines my reaction to a brief article, and the second answers many of my questions with a more detailed article. I realize this is kind […]

Today I got this email from a Reader:
Why is it that some people aren’t being bitten and some are? Example: My boyfriend and I share an apartment. I am being bitten all night long. He, on the other hand, does not seem to be bothered at all by […]

And now, for something completely different: A letter from a reader in England (she asked me to post it for your input).

Yorkshire Girl’s story of bed bug woe:
Living in the North of England you don’t hear many stories of bed bugs - in fact I think most people assume they are the same as […]

Reader Edgie wrote me an email which she asked me to post on the blog:
I’m Edgie in San Francisco.
I moved to this apartment last June and learned from a

Tales of Bed Bug Woe is a weekly (-ish) feature here at Bedbugger. A thread with this name will pop up regularly, so we can continue to help Bedbuggers battle their bed bugs without doing so in multiple threads. This way, you can use the comments on other recent posts to comment on […]

Editor’s note: I am still trying to find the best way of using the architecture of this blog to organize our information. The “Share your tales” and “Success Stories” pages are not getting much attention, so I am going to try another tactic. Each week, at least, I’ll start a new thread […]
