My daughter stayed home from school yesterday with an upset stomach.
she felt like she was going to vomit, but didn’t.
she slept most of the day and when she woke up she had what looked like a line of mosquito bites on her leg, and a cluster of them on her stomach. She started to scratch [...]
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. [...]
For about a week now, maybe a little longer, I have been getting bug bites around my waistline near my belly button and on the small of my back. They are pretty small bites and I only seem to get them in these areas. There are dogs in the house but I have not seen [...]

I started experiencing them when I was attending school in the mountains of West Virginia shortly after I decided to move back home. Ive been using the same mattress cover as I was when I lived in my dorm. My boyfriend started getting them when he started sleeping over at my house. The bumps are [...]
So basically I woke up this morning with welts up my arm and neck, and I’m pretty sure they’re bed bug bites. I’m not 100%, but I did go out of town last week and ever since the day I went up there, I’ve been getting more and more bug bites.
So I pretty much [...]
For a while now, I have noticed that there are these little bugs occasionally crawling on my bed. I assume that there are much more inside the mattress. They are very small, 2-3mm in length and ovular. They are not very fast moving, slowly making their way across the mattress cover and quilt. Their colouring [...]

Won’t they just come out of other hiding places in the room , bite and feed, then go back and hide? I mean sure, I’ll be able to save my mattress, but I’ll have to get rid of everything else I own, won’t I? & While I’m on that topic, how is it that once [...]
I live in a dorm on campus and bed bugs are spreading rampant through our dorms…my roommate and I don’t have them yet, but there are some girls down the hall that do. I keep reading what to do to prevent them from spreading through ones house, but how can I prevent them period? [...]
I found tiny little bugs about 0.5-1mm size. At first, I thought these are bed bugs but it seems like they are too small to be bed bugs. I found them mostly on my bed, but I found a few on the carpet and on the window frame as well. I have vacuum, wash all [...]

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 [...]

After buying a Protect-A-Bed mattress cover and spraying bed bug spray around the bed night after night – I am still getting bitten. What bites at night and leaves large red welts? The bites start out like mosquito bites and then get large, red and puffy. They are usually painful and itchy [...]
I had to put a vinyl mattress cover on my bed due to bed bugs. Now my bed gets sweltering hot and I keep waking up in sweat. I hate this, has someone else perhaps put a mattress pad over the mattress cover or put something else that would be more breathable and cool [...]

I am transferring over to a university, and someone told me I should buy this "plastic mattress cover" to zip around the mattress to protect from bugs.
A bunch of people I talked to said they neither heard about it, or used one.
I just need some tips on what to buy, to keep bugs [...]

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 [...]
