I didn't think that was possible but it was. That is why he is a miracle worker. He came back just 3 weeks ago because I had a scare but was just my paranoia it's traumatizing after dealing with these bugs and he did it free of charge. I asked if I can give him a review somewhere and he told me about this forum. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/shhh-dont-say-it-too-loud-success-story#post-20965 Fri, 21 Mar 2008 18:19:15 +0000 Nobugsonme 20965@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>free2sleep,</p> <p>I am glad you got rid of your bed bugs. </p> <p>So, you have not had bed bugs for three months, and this is your first visit to the forums, and you came just to post a review? </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/shhh-dont-say-it-too-loud-success-story#post-20903 Thu, 20 Mar 2008 09:52:29 +0000 completelybuggedout 20903@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>Congrats to you and your bug free enviornment!

I trust that you will soon find a home over which you will have some control, and in which you can feel comfortable again. During the worst part of my infestation, I lamented the scarcity of "success" stories. It's good to see you posting this here--you give us hope. </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/shhh-dont-say-it-too-loud-success-story#post-20804 Tue, 18 Mar 2008 08:00:16 +0000 buggedoutinbaltimore 20804@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>CONGRATS!

Wishing you all the best that these bugs are a thing of your past. I too understand about not getting to comfortable. I still look at every black spot and inspect every "bite" and am very nervous when going through the clothes that have been packed away for months. 66 days is a long time and hopefully the days will keep counting. I am on day 39!! WOOT! WOOT! (Knock on wood) </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/shhh-dont-say-it-too-loud-success-story#post-20779 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:41:06 +0000 mangycur 20779@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>YAY BO </p> http://bedbugger.com/forum/topic/shhh-dont-say-it-too-loud-success-story#post-20777 Mon, 17 Mar 2008 22:36:39 +0000 freaked out in brooklyn 20777@http://bedbugger.com/forum/ <p>I don't understand the dd stuff.

I won't allow myself to get too excited because I'm afraid the moment I do they'll come back. I still live out of plastic bags and containers. My bed is still isolated. All my belongings are on isolated wire storage racks still also. BUT, it has been more than 60 days since I have been bitten and almost four months since I've seen a live bug. For those of you who didn't know me during my time here, I want to share my story because it is important to know that even in adverse circumstances these things can be beaten.</p> <p>I discovered the bugs in the last week of September '07, though I had a mysterious rash on my hand and arm (the one I slept with under the pillow) since the end of August '07. I had just moved to my new town in mid-August, so I attributed the "rash" to change in climate or soap or stress or whatever. I never thought of bed bugs until one day my husband and I were cleaning, we pulled the bed away from the wall, and there it was-- the bed bug nest! We looked it up on the internet and there it was-- helloooo bedbugs! I had never even heard of them before (aside from the bed time rhyme). </p> <p>We quickly did everything you're not supposed to do, like furiously clean everything and throw away furniture without bagging. By the first week in November I realized we needed professional help and I called my landlord who said the man upstairs had said something about bugs a while ago but thought it wasn't a big deal! By deductive reasoning-- I got my bedbugs from my upstairs neighbor who was in complete denial about the severity of his infestation. He lived for months without cleaning or bagging or anything-- I was fighting against the currents. </p> <p>After following the FAQ's and cleaning ALL my clothes and bedding and furniture, I also sealed all baseboards, door frames, window frames, light fixtures, electrical outlets and cracks in all walls (including closets). I ordered food grade DE and dusted my couch (inside), bedroom, and even my cats like I was rubbing them with flea powder. I did laundry including my linens every 4 days. The PCO visited a total of five times.</p> <p>The last set of bites I received was on January 10th, a typical BLD pattern, in my isolated bed. I dusted my bed frame with DE and washed all my linens, and that was the last I have seen of the bugs.</p> <p>It is now March 18th and I have been bug and bite free for 66 days. I am not ready to unpack my belongings yet. I'm still too paranoid. If I have another outbreak, I don't think I could handle having to go through all the bagging again. I am cautiously going about my life and slowly looking for a house that my husband and I can buy and call our own. I know now that there is life beyond bed bugs, and although I still cannot completely relax (I still inspect every itch and every black speck), I feel like I can live again without being obsessed by bugs every waking (and sometimes sleeping) minute of my life.</p> <p>Dear bedbuggers, you have all been so supportive and you are all so brave. Keep up the good fight. 66 days and counting....</p> <p>Bugobsessed </p>
