Posted by admin as Bed Bug Protection
We had a flea infestation and I have been fighting it for a few weeks and now I suspect we have Bed Bugs too. My in laws live in NY city and although I have not found one i suspect that we have them I remember a bug that my husband killed that was bloody and bug blood is green or clear. Only blood sucker have red blood and I found some weird spots on my PJ’s that are very small and this is what the online site s say the bug spots look like. Now I feel like I am crawling with bugs all the time and cannot sleep at night even though I covered my entire box spring and mattress with a cover and taped the zipper and pulled it from wall. Trashed my headboard and washed and bagged everything sprayed like crazy.
i just cannot stand the thought of something sucking my blood while i sleep so i have a flashlight in my bed and keep waking up and checking for them. Haven’t gotten a good night sleep in weeks and feel dirty all the time. Advise???
I do not live in NY city my in laws do .
My in laws 2nd home is in a highly infested area and they rent rooms and the building is connected on both sides by other buildings . The buildings are over a 100 years old and in a not so great area. My husband noticed he was getting bit when he went a lone to visit them and later we went together and her noticed a bug on him and flicked it while in bed.

1Bed bugs are a pest and really hard to handle..
I once had a bed bug problem too.. So I called the professional to come out and get rid of my bed bug problems. They had stated that bed bugs do not go away in just one treatment it usually takes 3-4 different treatments so they had recommend several different products that i could purchase online and use to treat the bed bugs.
One of the products I found that was very useful is call Steri- Fab you spray it almost anywhere mattress, clothes and even carpets. Also using natural products such as rest easy is a good idea too, taking these types of product when your traveling so that you don’t bring them back with you. Also getting box spring and mattress encasements is a good idea it not only helps eliminate but help prevent them. If you try to cover your mattress and box spring with plastic the bed bugs will just chew right through it. Spraying the mattress and putting dust into the holes in the sides of the mattress before covering the infested mattress is a good idea.
I was able to find a lot of products and info at this site they have a reasonable price to why don’t you check it out…

3Get a new mattress. It sounds like you have tried to make yourself feel better by cleaning and making it so anything in your mattress can’t get you…but if it isn’t working, you may have to get a new mattress to get over it completely. Mattresses can be expensive, but if you are not picky, you may be able to find a nice one in your price range.
If you continue to have issues and you don’t have the means to replace the mattress, I would talk with a therapist or psychologist. They could help you to overcome your problem. A psychiatrist on the other hand, will try to prescribe you medicine, so I would not go there unless you have tried counseling. Good luck!

4Great, now I’ll be scratching all day!
I’m not sure why your in-laws even enter into the discussion. Did they visit and bring bedbugs with them?
Get a professional to come and take care of it. Use plain sheets that you can wash in very hot water once a week. Vacuum often
