Although any entomologists will tell you bedbugs do not spread any disease from person to person – there are people who have horrific allergic reactions to their bites AND because bedbugs can squeeze into any and all nooks and crannies – such as light switch plates, picture frames, book pages, spaces between floorboards, clothing, electrical outlets, appliances, you name it - EVERYWHERE – they are virtually impossible to eradicate without a professional exterminator who specializes in bedbugs. You will need more than one extermination. EACH treatment should include an application of powder ( I believe it's diatomaceous earth) AND a liquid insecticide. As embarrassing as it may be, you should try to determine whether or not any of your neighbors have them because if YOU eradicate the problem and the bedbugs are living next door, they could and probably will, return. Call the Entomology Department of any New York State University and ask to speak with someone about your problem. That is what I did for my friend and was able to get the information I have passed on to you. The entomologists were also helpful in alleviating her fears of disease but also stressed the ‘common-ness’ of the problem here in New York (and elsewhere) and in explaining the importance of the proper extermination procedure – to be rid of them the first time around. Good luck. I know my friend said she went through hell. But the good news is – it has been over a year and she has not found even a dead one in many months. ................................................
