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 the face exposed and caused more bites in the face area. I talked to the neighbors here at the complex and they confirmed that it was bed bugs; they all have similar bites.

I HAVE ALREADY DONE A WEB SEARCH found out there’s not much to do to kill these things and even a professional pest control agency won’t help unless they are specialists.

YES THIS PLACE WAS FOGGED AND BATED BEFORE WE MOVED IN. We noticed there are lots of roaches crawling out of nooks and crannies to die but the bed bugs are thriving.

This is what we found so far to repel them:
1. Cold air
2. Reduce clutter in home and near bed.
3. Special pesticides if placed in their home space (if you can find it)
4. Regular or special pesticide fogs work up to 3 or 4 months but then they come back.
