We will teach you how to kill bed bugs
Has anyone ever gotten rid of bed bugs on their own?
marebear4444 asked:
Or do I need to call an exterminator. A few days ago I woke up with a random rash looking thing on my stomach, then again a couple days after that. My friends thought it was bed bugs so I decided to take my sheets off and check my mattress and sheets. I havent found a live bug, but after research I do think I have seen the shells of the bugs. Any suggestions?

Got a rash that is killing me and I cant figure out what it is?
about 5 months ago - 4 comments
Initially my legs were quite itchy, to the point of waking up to scratching. Small pimples appear mostly on my leg area, friction definitely triggers it and maybe sweating. I noticed after playing racquetball or ice hockey it was the worst. I haven’t been playing either sport in a while. I assumed it was my hockey equipment, but I haven’t played in months.
Lately, 5 to 10 small white pimple appears on legs. If I don’t put cream on them quickly, a red mark the size of a quarter will develop and it will itch and hurt, almost like a tact is stuck in my leg. I finally noticed my right leg is more sensative due to my work badge continually bumping that part of my leg, the inseams of my pants can cause irritation to. I have been using Bacitracin lately, but at first I was just using a skin moisturizer, which helps reduce the outbreaks.
I tend to line dry most of my pants and started to suspect a “outbreak” from my washing machine. I have bleached it since, but I think it is more likely that line dried clothes are not as soft on the skin and it is more a friction issue. We use a skin sensative detergent.
I been searching the internet for rashes and pictures of rashed, really disgusting stuff out there. I am freaked out that it could be scabies, but haven’t seen any pictures that match and nobody else in the family has this issue and it has been going on for almost a year. I doesn’t look like shingles , but it can be quite painful, it was really itchy all over my legs months ago, but now it manifests itself in a few white pimples with a red mark around them, they eventually turn red though as they heal.
I also started thinking about bed bugs, mostly get it on my legs, but sometimes on my back of my neck and no pimples but slight symptoms of a rash on my face.
I have been to the doctor, they suggested a low dose of an antihistamine and OTC moisturizer, helps but does not stop the symptoms. I also have not been great a keeping moisturized

What rash is similar to that of a bed bug?
about 5 months ago - 3 comments
I had on the back of my neck what I believe to be a carpet beetle. I killed it with my fingers. Later that night a rashes appeared on the left side of my back then it grew to the right side and down the back of my left arm appearing as if it were in rows similar to that of a bed bug.The furniture was checked for bed bugs but the only bugs we see repeatedly are what we think are carpet beetles. I didn’t feel it bite me. Do they bite and can they leave a rash such as the one I described?

I have bed bugs. It has gotten to an overwhelming point though. I can’t sleep for nothing. It got to a point where I had to take sleeping pills to keep me knocked out because I had to get up to work. I tried cleaning the room and spraying down everything with bed bug killer. It stopped for about a week and little by little they popped up again.

Public Health And Bed Bugs

Jacob asked:
Bed bugs have been very common in the industrialized world. There are lots of people who are having devastating experience with bed bugs. New Yorkers called 311 with 9,213 bedbug complaints in the last fiscal year, up 33.7% from the year before, according to the reports of a group known as Corea. Bed Bugs are one of the greatest travelers of the world and are transported via luggage, clothing, bedding and furniture.
Well, the first thing that you need to know about is that bed bug bites are itchier than mosquito bites. This is because of the anesthetics in bed bug’s saliva. Bed bug rash will appear an hour after you were pierced. But to some people, the bed bug rash appear only after some days or week from being bitten. This depends upon the body’s reaction to chemicals being secreted by bed bugs.
A bed bug bite appears as a small, itchy red bump and may form a line or cluster, revealing multiple bites from the same insect. Signs of an allergic reaction include larger bumps -about 20 cm wide -red, tender and small swollen sacs of pus or hive-like rashes. Bites generally disappear in a week or two and you can treat the itchiness with an ointment or cream. If you develop an allergic reaction, see your doctor, who may prescribe an antibiotic.
Now, the next question that comes to your mind is how to avoid infestation? Bed bugs are effective hitchhikers. Check your wooden items with bed bugs. Bed bugs like wooden items, cloth and paper. These are the material in which they create their habitat.
Public health concerns have set rules to be followed by hotels, apartments and other lodge services. It requires sanitary procedures. The suggested answer for such bed bug invasion is to have furniture’s treated. It may be costly but like the case of termites, you will not regret it.
So prevent the breeding of bed bugs in your home or surroundings and keep yourself and your family safe!

Maru asked:
I finished vacuuming my whole bed frame, including the screws, holes and crevices. Now I want to reassemble my bed, but I want to put something in the crevices to both kill any bugs that I may have missed and to prevent any from getting in there again.
Can I use Windex to kill bed bugs?
And should I put cooking oil or Vaseline in the crevices to make the surface unaccessible to them?

Insect spray

Sorry, but I think it’s impossible unless you buy a new mattress. My mother-in-law had them a few months ago. Took an exterminator 2 visits to rid them….they are VERY tough to kill. Over the counter stuff isn’t strong enough.

Marebear,
I have heard of people getting rid of them on their own using enzyme based products but it takes time and patience. These are pesticide free so are safe to use on your own and around pets and kids etc.
The one I see mentioned most often is called Kleen-Free but they seem to have another product on their website called EcoBugFree for BedBugs so I think that may be their “New and Improved” or something.
These are contact killers so they will kill what theya re sprayed on but bedbugs hide well so you need to spray every day and anywhere that they may be hiding and keep doing this likely for up to a month. If you do a good job you will notice the population decreasing slowly.
Good luck.
