bed buggy hell,

Did you originally have a definitive visual identification?

If so, then it's a case of determining whether they're back but perhaps in small numbers or hiding well. I would recommend the detection FAQ.

If not, then have you ruled out all other possible causes? (I don't know your story, so this may not apply. However, there have been people who went through treatment without a definitive bed bug ID only to find they had another cause.)

was her suitcase in your car? if so you should mention that to the PCO and have him take a look as you could be receiving your bites elsewhere

PS - I am not trying to cause you alarm but just pointing out that you could be bitten somewhere other than your bed and by other insects as well

Adele,

thank you for the responce..i love your pic.

yes she did have her suitcase in my car, and yes i begged him to treat my car, which he did spray with phantom...i also had the car detailed with a company that uses hot steam? so they say..i also vacuumed like crazy with a pretty strong vac. then he sprayed...so other than that i guess there is a deffinate possiblity that i am being bit by other bugs, they are out right now...i know that in my mind and in realityit could be something else,,,,, but,,,,,,, in my crazy bb frenzie..they are all i see(so to speak)...soooooo tired from not for a month as well...im sure that doesn't help huh...

If you want some piece of mind I would get a qualified K9 inspection done. Dogs have been proven to be 90% effective if not more at detecting bed bugs. They are able to smell the secretions left by bed bugs which humans are unable to smell. Pricing for this can range from $350-$500 for the first hour on average. Expect to pay on the upper end if you are in New York City or New Jersey.

However, if you are hiring a k9 team, I strongly suggest you read our FAQ on this. It is essential that a k9 team does a visual confirmation of any alerts. Many don't.

Envirocare, if you have a k9 team, you should probably disclose this in future comments on the topic.

thank you for the responces....i did have a k9 come out..he said because we had put fresh chemicals down he wouldn't bring in the dog...it has been two weeks now with no sign of them at all...so other than the bites there is nothing...i hope they are gone for good...i really would like the dog to come in and give me an ok kind of thing...i'll call him again in a week or so to see if he will bring he dog in.
