Before, I'd typically get 2-3 individual clusters on my torso and legs. After the spraying happened, even though it wasn't really successful, the number of bites dropped to about 1 (or 1 cluster) a night, regardless of my location. I can go "bite free" if I don't spend a lot of time at the computer or keep the lights on at all times. Otherwise, I will end up with a few on my feet and ankles.</p> <p>I've seen two (flat, so unfed?) good-sized adults. One was next to the desk and the other was on a bureau in the bedroom. So I know they're there, but our bite frequency has gone down. No promises for the next few weeks, though, since we're not getting sprayed again. I do have emergency Bedlam...and I have to admit that I applied it liberally to the floor around the desk, the chairs, etc. after getting bit there. The residual probably is helping as well.</p> <p>18 more days until PureHeat comes to save the day! </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bites-vs-number-of-bugs#post-52404 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 00:07:47 +0000 Nobugsonme 52404@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Fearful -- did your frequency of bites change? How many were you getting/how often before this time?</p> <p>If you are being bit once per day, you have at least seven bed bugs, since they bite about once a week (approx.)</p> <p>I am curious about the lights -- others have found that if they leave the lights on, bed bugs will bite anyway. That was my experience.</p> <p>Helpme9999 -- </p> <p>How many treatments did you get and how far apart? Did you let the PCO know the problem was persisting? Do you have attached neighbors (row-house, apartment neighbors, etc.) who may have bed bugs? </p> <p>If you have seen several bed bugs this month, you may have many more and treatment should be ongoing. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bites-vs-number-of-bugs#post-52403 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 23:59:06 +0000 HelpMe9999 52403@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <blockquote><p><cite>Fearful_and_Buggy - 1 week ago <a href="http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/bites-vs-number-of-bugs#post-51753">&nbsp;&raquo;&nbsp;</a></cite><br /> The number of bites I've been getting has been reduced to about 1 a night while I sit at my desk.

I really need help. I have done everything to get rid of them. Thought I did, but this past month I have found four, two in my sofa and two in my bed; different nights. Was biten once. Am terrified. And it is a fortune to exterminate; cost me 1,500.00 and they still didn't get rid of them.
