I was living in an apartment complex that had bed bugs and I was unaware of it. The infestation started in the apartment below us I was told. That apartment got sprayed for bugs and then they came up to my apartment. I was never told of the infestation or to keep an eye out [...]
We’ve only been here a month…at first we didn’t know what it was so that accounts for at least 2 weeks worth of bites because we’ve NEVER had them before moving here. I realized very quickly we needed to cover up at night and use plastic or hypo allergenic mattress cover but that just left [...]
I had a mild bed bug infestation that I thought was over a couple of months ago, but I found one on my comforter this morning. This situation started back in October. Since then…
-The exterminator has made 2 visits in October and November.

Do the mattress covers that say they protect against dust mites protect against bed bugs also?

Thanks guys I will look into both of your suggestions.

I recently had bed bugs. I had 2 exterminators come out. Both told me they were in my box spring. I had the whole house exterminated as a precaution.

I haven’t slept in a few days because I’ve been so scared it is bed bugs, so I stay awake and wait for itching and then I bring out a flash light and inspect the bed. My boyfriend thinks I’m insane because he doesn’t get a thing. I haven’t seen anything that looks suspicious, as [...]

I think I have bed bugs. I noticed bumps on my bum a few months ago and thought it was maybe adult body acne. I changed my diet and body wash and it seemed to clear up. About the same time I started sleeping in a different bed but I didn’t think [...]
Something is biting me when I sleep. It gets under the covers, under my clothes. I cleaned my bedroom, had the blankets washed. I checked the mattress and the area carefully. I could not find anything.
There is one bite each time and the bite fades within an hour.
There are bed bugs in my building [...]
I keep getting what looks like a cluster of bites on my face. The bites are mostly on my left cheek (the side I sleep on). I have tried EVERYTHING!!! I’ve bought several pillows, new mattress covers (hypo-allergenic), checked for bed bugs (no), checked for spiders and webs (no), checked for fleas (no). I’ve used [...]
Since my boyfriend and I have performed some renovations to our basement apartment, we’ve been getting horrible bites & rashes. I guess we stirred something up?
Our bedroom doesn’t seem to be affected [we even cut open the mattress to make sure..] its definitely something in our living room.
We had a blow up mattress that [...]
