I’m currently not working and can not afford much of anything.. Therefore, I can not afford an exterminator or even plastic bed covers.
What I have bought is hot shot bed bug and flea aerosol spray.
My concern is using it on my mattress.
I do not own and can not afford a steam cleaner.
Is it safe [...]

I think I might have a bed bug problem in my college dorm.

A good friend of mine has bed bugs and it is horrifying. I had heard rumors of outbreaks but thought it was just people being paranoid and overreacting to seeing a few little bugs. But now that I’ve seen it 1st hand I’m terrified. She has had to throw away almost all [...]

i’ve had it for a month. it started on my hands, then got to my underarms and between my thighs, and now it’s everywhere but my face. yes, including my genitals. it’s like little bumps or bubbles that become dry and it flares when i scratch or get hot, like in the shower or bed. [...]
I’ve tried different detergent, washing my clothes twice, once with detergent and then go through the cycle and then wash again with no detergent. I have moved to a different place and the itching still exists… i bought a brand new bed, hypoallergenic pillows and such… I’ve done everything i can and it’s so itchy [...]

Hello,
I have been staying over a friends house for most of my time. I come home every now and then. Today when I came home I saw a bug crawling on my leg. Upon closer inspection (after it was flat and dead), it was a bed bug.
Then I saw another one on my shirt. This [...]

* We didn’t change the mattress but we bought from the pest control company this special covers to keep whatever is inside in, and [...]
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 know that I have an infestation of bed bugs in my apartment. So much that I’ve read says you MUST use a professional exterminator to get rid of them. This is not even an option for me due to the high cost. I’m feeling pretty discouraged. If i get a mattress cover, use Diatomaceous [...]
i need to know if I have bed bugs before I really freak out. I’ve been getting bitten, once last night, once two nights before, a few times a few weeks ago. i assumed they were mosquito bites, but reading up on bed bugs… that’s what they may be. they only itch [...]

She has had these off and on since she was born? I figured she must have inherited my extremely sensitive skin, so I make sure to wash her bedding and clothes in hypoallergenic detergent and dryer sheets. I have tried Eucerin cream and a Johnson's product that looks like a deodorant stick and is for [...]
