So these past couple of weeks I’ve noticed 2 little red bumps on my arm and a few that seem like razor burn but might be bites on my legs. I notice that whenever I get under the covers in bed my skin gets irritated and it feels like there are bugs on me, however [...]

Ive had a minor infestation (catch the occasional 1 or 2 at night) and dont really want to throw money around. Ive bought a mattress cover and cover my bed with double sided tape every day. On the first day, i found about 4 bugs on the tape, then, 0, then 3 and so on. [...]

I have a bed bug cover on my dorm mattress, but how would I go about removing it without letting the bugs out all over my room? Also, how would you recommend washing or removing the bedbugs from it so I can use it again?

I live in a dorm on campus and we had a month-long winter break. My bed had the comforter cover etc., but is it necessary to wash the bedsheets? I have a mattress protector from bugs and stuff lol.
Thank you!

Last night I dreamt that I was in bed with my ex-husband (we were just sleeping) and he said to me that he felt like something was crawling on him. I looked and he was covered in maggots. They were all in his arm and leg hair and falling from his hair on his head. [...]
I haven’t worn this sweater in over 20 years. It’s sat in my closet, amongst other sweaters. Maybe moved around a little. It is 100% wool. Can bugs be living in it? I detect none, but you never know.

I went to wash my sheets this morning and when I pulled off the fitted sheet this quickly scurried across my brand new mattress pad (two weeks old). http://imgur.com/azLM4.jpg
I was late for work, so I just put it in a tissue. When I returned 8 hours later it was still alive and I quickly took [...]

Theres an infomercial on TV touting the Space Age Foam Bed that makes the above claim regarding standard innerspring mattresses. The claim seems impactful, but is there any truth in it?
I know that old mattress IS awfully heavy, but don’t say it’s bugs!

I have dust mites upstairs and had an exterminator here, but after three days the bugs came back. It is hotter upstairs so I have no bugs downstairs. I live in Arizona where it is very hot.
One way to kill them is to freeze them. Is there any type of spray that [...]

I found a loveseat covertable bed at the Goodwill yesterday.It looked clean upon inspection at the store; however, after asking a neighbor to help lug it up stairs, I noticed small feces (looked like from bugs) in the edges. So I took the mattress off, and the top of the fold out bed was COVERED [...]

“Audrey!!! My mother screamed my name as our car swerved to avoid the up-coming truck. I squeezed my eyes shut and started to cry.
“Mommy!!” I screamed holding tight onto the small white teddy my mommy had given me yesterday for my birthday. “Tell daddy stop!” I opened my eyes to see my mother’s frantic eyes [...]
For some reason I stay hot. During the winter when it’s 20 to 30 outside I’m actually comfortable. Now it’s spring going on summer. Me and my wife lived alone until the economy did a number on us. She lost her job and wasn’t able to find another one. We [...]
On sunday morning, there was a bug in my hair, I panicked (bugphobia) and threw it aside, not even looking at it. This was my bedroom.
Today during class, I find another bug, and killed it, putting it in a tissue for evidence.
I’m POSITIVE it is not lice, a flea, or a bed bug.
It’s got a [...]
A gross gecko jumped onto my bed and ran under the covers. I shook everything out, looked under the mattress, ran a broom under my bed and nothing. I can’t find the gecko anywhere. I’m sooo grossed out now. My bed is my sanctuary and it’s ruined! I can’t go to sleep thinking at any [...]
We moved into this apt. about 2 months ago. A little over 3 weeks ago we noticed a we had a couple of bugs. We didn’t know what they were and just flushed them down the toilet. We saw one one night and found out it was a bed bug. We taped it to [...]
I’ve noticed with people taking photos of their kids, dogs, etc. that I see a lot of people sleeping on bare mattresses. I happen to find it terribly gross, especially with small children present, and if there are "stains" on the mattress itself. Maybe it’s just me, but it’s disgusting. You can’t clean a mattress [...]
All this news about dust mites is making my skin crawl. I’m entirely okay with all the other bugs that live on me–though I still cringe when reminded of them–but dust mites have too many negative aspects for me. So if someone could tell me, it would be MUCH appreciated!!

Ok, I just read a article about dust mites and now I’m all disgusted and want to wash all my pillow cases and bedspreads. I know they can’t physcially harm you except allergy wise but it still sounds so gross, millions of bugs crawling all over you while your sleeping? Opinions?
Also I’m told that heat [...]

In the beginning of 2008, I started feeling bugs crawling on my skin, but of course, there’s nothing ever there. I feel it everywhere, on my legs, in my hair, behind my ears, on my neck, EVERYWHERE, except for in the pubic area (Thank God!), and it causes me to itch a lot. I can’t [...]
