The fact that you react so badly to the bites is obviously not a great thing, but there is an advantage to this – you’ll know for sure when they are gone. I hardly react at all to them, and that has caused me to spread them, and it makes it very difficult for me to know if they are finally gone.</p> <p>If I could go back to when I first realised I had them, there is only one thing I would do – be much more thorough and meticulous in my attempts to rid them. Trust me; the more effort you put in to this, the better you’ll feel afterwards. You say you’ve taped up light sockets etc, but that should be just a part of your efforts...</p> <p>Get a decent PCO in, but in the meantime do loads of research, there’s a ton of good info out there on what you can do, and you can then make sure he’s doing a good job. If you can, keep the legs of your bed in tubs of oil or vasaline (you’ll need to rid your bed of all bugs before – you could do this by thoroughly ironing the whole bed with a full-steam iron, but you should look to encase it in a protector too.) bugs can’t then get you at night. I recommend doing this after you’ve had the PCO in, as if he misses an egg or two (chemicals can’t kill eggs, but steam treatment will), they will not be able to find food soon enough after hatching and continue the cycle. If he does his work and a month passes without a bite, then that may be a good time to take the tubs of oil away.</p> <p>I know it is easy to feel defeated by these little monsters, and I’ve been through all of that, but I’ve found it’s best to try to accept things as they are, and take super strong action against them. I’ve read plenty of success stories out there, and there’s no reason why you can’t be one too.<br /> One more quick tip – never scratch the bites – rub them only with finger tips and use tiger balm on them. You’ll soon get used to this approach and it means the itching dies down much more quickly.</p> <p>Good luck! ... feel free to message me if you have any questions :) </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/can-you-use-ddvpnuvan-in-your-car-with-stuff-in-it#post-69619 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:23:19 +0000 DougSummersMS 69619@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Do you drive the car?

I reported the problem to my apartment manager who has pretended for as much time that I was a paranoid hypochondria. The PCO that she sent out to my apartment arrived skeptical and did a cursory and ineffectual inspection of my apartment. He concluded that I did not have an infestation.</p> <p>At the time, I had not done enough research to know to turn my boxspring over and look for the bedbugs. But when the bites started to multiply, scar my arms, and cause me to miss a day of work from the constant painful scratching, I became zealous and turned my whole bed over to find them all around the perimeter of my boxspring - where any competent PCO should have found them. I've demanded that my apartment be treated and I have taken sanitation measures to the point of lining the juncture between the carpet and wall of the entire perimeter of my bedrom with painter's tape and covering all the power sockets and lighting fixtures.</p> <p>I was almost optimistic until I woke up from a nap to find a blood spot on top of my new encasement. I'm reading all these stories of people fighting bedbugs for months and years. I feel like a disgusting person, and I can't have anyone over to my apartment. My best friend and aunt don't want me to sleep over and even if they did, I would feel guilty and anxious the whole time. I'm ashamed of this problem; it's wholly unfair and worst of all I am very pessimistic that I will get rid of it completely or ever feel fully confident that I have done so.</p> <p>To top it all off I have diagnosed General Anxiety Disorder. Someone cheer me up please. :(</p> <p>How do I know what level of infestation I have or how long I should expet it to take to clear up? </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bedbugs-from-the-dvd-by-mail-rental#post-69614 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 00:04:11 +0000 flabergasted 69614@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Didn't Blockbuster just die on the stock market and may have to declare Chapter 11 in the US</p> <p>HUM Clilecto I luv your wit</p> <p>I </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/a-good-bed-bug-sucking-vacuum#post-69613 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 22:20:44 +0000 vivyou 69613@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>i checked out reviews on-line for the eureka mighty mite boss canister. they were good but people said that this vacuum was good for hardwood floors and not for carpet. i have carpet in my room so i'm looking for recommendations for bed-bug/carpet bug sucking vacuums. thanks! </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/lets-just-hope-in-overreacting#post-69612 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 22:11:58 +0000 ohgodwhy 69612@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for the responses. I am currently still at my parents' home as I've got some things to take care of over here as well, so I won't be able to get a good look at my apt. until Sunday at the latest. I've gotten absolutely obsessed with this bed bug thing though-- been reading how tos and stories whenever I've had free time today. Once I get back to the apt I will be *looking*.</p> <p>As for the bug bites, strangely enough they are not in areas that are exposed. I wear pajama bottoms and t-shirts to bed so mainly it's just my feet, arms, neck, face that aren't covered. However, these bites are only on my right outer thigh! Which... means that something crawled up my leg? (WHAT?) I don't even know what to think other than that I am absolutely disgusted.</p> <p>I haven't yet spoken to my roommates. It seems like it's only been me so far and I don't want to pass on my hysteria without evidence. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/blood-spot-on-hotel-box-springcould-it-be-a-sign#post-69611 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 21:48:21 +0000 scaredsayscared 69611@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>So we stayed at a hotel this past week and did an inspection of the room prior to settling in there. There were no visible bed bug signs except there was a decent size blood spot on the box spring near the head of the bed. The blood spot looked fresh still red and it was fairly large. If you can imagine it was about the size of a quarter but stretched into a more of a pear shape. I freaked out of course and was totally disgusted but we stayed there because it was my husband's family reunion and it was a 3bedroom villa that everyone had already settled into it. My husband thought it was not a sign as it was too large and did not want to switch rooms and be away from his family.</p> <p>We took all the proper precautions while staying in the hotel and upon returning home as we were prepared before leaving, but I still can't get this blood stain out of my mind and I am a tad freaked out. I checked out David's pdf on blood spots in a previous post and they all did look smaller and smeared so what do you guys think? Could a blood spot of the size of a quarter still be a sign? Thanks, I'm kind of new to all this. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/pco-recommendation-for-nj-union-county#post-69610 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 21:01:45 +0000 vivyou 69610@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>unfortunately killer queen doesn't work in nj. i would appreciate any recommendations in union county or nearby.<br /> thanks! </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bedbugs-3#post-69609 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:42:20 +0000 greenapplepest 69609@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <blockquote><p><cite>vivyou - 8 minutes ago <a href="http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bedbugs-3#post-69608">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;</a></cite><br /> hello everyone! i've been reading a lot of the threads and there's so much information. i'm really hoping that i don't have bedbugs. there have been bedbug incidents at work. the only evidence that i have so far are some bites every couple of days and maybe a discarded shell. honestly i have yet to do a really thorough check. i go back and forth between an apt in brooklyn and a house in nj. i'm worried that both places have bedbugs. i did find a dead carpet beetle (i think) on my pillow one night and a live one on my comforter last night. do carpet beetles bite? what else could i be mistaking bedbug bites for? i'm thinking of putting down some double sided carpet tape around my bed tonight to see if i can catch some evidence. any other suggestions and advice is welcome. thanks!</p></blockquote> <p>In my opinion I think you should get your apts inspected by a pco or by a bb dog to ease your mind.

I've been waking up between 3-6am almost every night for the past how ever many weeks its been. The itching is on my whole body but super intense, when I wake up in the middle of the night and throughout the day, on my inner thighs, genitals, and butt. The itching is also on my chest (pecks area) portions of my arms, hands, wrists, and waist line/belly button. I haven't looked for bugs yet but will first thing when I get home from my fathers (don't worry I washed all the stuff I brought with me as to not spread it) I might be able to upload pictures tomorrow as well. But if anyone has any advice or two cents it would be greatly appreciated as I can't continue like this; It's my last semester in highschool and I need sleep for track and school. Thanks! -dylan </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/lets-just-hope-in-overreacting#post-69587 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 03:24:50 +0000 ohgodwhy 69587@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>I noticed bug bites on my upper leg and thigh about 2 days ago. Didn't think very much of it, to be honest, although they did itch like hell. Noticed a few more yesterday morning and still didn't think much of it... until I went home (well, my parents' house) and mentioned it to my mother who thought they were scabies. That's what freaked me out. So I went and researched and... well, I think I'd rather have scabies because bed bugs seem like such an absolute hassle for EVERYONE and everything I come to contact with. The bites are extremely similar to the pictures as well as the clusters of 3 or 4.</p> <p>I'm currently still at my parents' home. Absolutely freaked and it's about 1 in the morning; I can't even think about sleeping. Completely changed the bedsheets here and in the process of washing/drying clothes I've brought from the apt. I currently live in (I'm a college student) as well as my laundry and backpack. I also feel like I might contaminate this house!</p> <p>Perhaps I'm freaking out too much, I haven't even been back to the apt. to check around for these bugs, but still... I'm complete and utterly terrified of what I might find there. And I can't sleep.</p> <p>This is going to be absolutely humiliating to address this with my roommates as well as the apartment management. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bedbugs-from-the-dvd-by-mail-rental#post-69586 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 00:44:24 +0000 KillerQueen 69586@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>I have a small collection on DVD of those.
