I moved into a new town home about 3 months ago with my two children. Not long after getting into the apartment my children and I were getting bit numerous times each night. I really thought maybe it was spiders or flea’s considering the people before us had pets. Well as the bites became [...]
In May, my youngest son attended a camp for three weeks. When he came home, unintentionally he brought home a little surprise. I obviously had no idea for a while why he was receiving bites all over his body, I just brushed it off as misquotes. As time progressed I started receiving bites and my [...]
I currently reside at a dorm house (among others around me) which my host Uni provides here in Germany. I will soon be leaving the country in a month’s time. Ever since October 2009 (my first month here) I had noticed problems with my mattress. It is dark blue therefore one can not easily notice [...]
I noticed one evening there was like 2 little bugs on our covers and they looked like fleas but didn’t jump. I went ahead and got tea tree oil and sprayed the inner lining of my mattress (even though i didn’t see any signs of bed bugs in the cracks) and then bought the [...]

Is it a waste of time to spray my mattress with hydrogen peroxide between sheet changes? I’m trying to cut down on allergens in the bedroom and I wanted to know "does hydrogen peroxide kill dust mites on a mattress"?

Because I’ve been losing my tan and just remembered that my mattress hasn’t been vacuumed for a really long time. My blankets too. When I was at my brothers house, it would take at least a week to start losing my tan and it was only a few days when I went back to my [...]
So I had my old mattress thrown out because of beg bugs, along with my white vinyl covered wood frame because of bed bugs. I heard recently there has been a huge outbreak of them. Once I threw out my stuff vacuumed and took everything out of the room. Now about a month later I [...]
Every night my hands, fingers and wrists, tops of feet and ankles develop a burning itch. I have bug sprayed my room, I use All free detergent, I use cetaphil lotion and Dove soap… have been using all for years. This itching started a few months ago on my feet. I thought it was ringworm, [...]

I’m slightly allergic to maple and dog. But my allergy to dust and mites are so severe, that they were unable to be scaled because they were so high. I use an air purifier, enclosed my mattress, I take Calritin D, Zyrtec, vacuum using wearing a mask, and use a neti pot every day to [...]
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 [...]

The next day before using them, I washed them in warm water according to manufacturers instructions. No security tag was on them and the size label was wrong. When I took the set out of the dryer, there was a lot of "fluff" lining the dryer. The bottom sheet did not fit, [...]
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 [...]

Every other day, I seem to wake up with clusters of bites. Always 2 bites clustered together, and always on my arms, neck, and more recently my head. Basically never on any part of me that is covered by the blankets.
I’ve stripped down my mattress and stood it on end now [...]

I’ve been thinking of getting one of these to put on my mattress (under my sheets) to help me sleep.
Will these just end up becoming a haven for dust mites?

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 [...]
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 woke up to my daughter coughing during the night and sent my husband in to check on her. Her whole mattress was covered in vomit, and she appeared to be still sleeping. We got her up, bathed her and scrubbed everything down. This happened about half an hour after her early [...]
