Posted by admin as Bed Bug Protection
About a week and half ago I was dog sitting for a friend, on the 2nd day I found a can of bed bug spray. The next morning I woke up with 2 bites. I went home that day. That was a Sunday. By Wednesday I had 3 differnt spots with 3 bites. That night I doused my bed and box springs with alcohol. I found 1 dead bed bug. The next day I bought a mattress cover. I repsrayed everything again including the floor and then covered box springs and mattress sealing any seams with duct tape. I have since then been spraying everything everyday with alcohol including covered bed. The extermintor told me I was probably all set because I sprayed everything and covered bed almost immediatly. I inspected my bed with the help of my roommate and we did not find any eveidence of bed bugs..just the one dead one after I had sprayed. Should I trust him?

1It will take about 3 weeks to know for sure. It takes from 4 to 12 days for a bed bug to hatch. I’d suggest buying 4 climbup interceptor dishes. These inexpensive bowls are placed under each bed leg. They catch bed bugs as they approach the bed. If the bowls are bed bug free, then you should be all set.
You can find a link to buy climbup in the second resource below. It also has instructions on how to make your own.
