admin answers:

If you had bed bugs you would probably be able to see them upon thorough inspection of your entire bed. Is it just a red itchy rash, or is it little clusters of red spots. Bed bugs usually bite in clusters, sometimes random spots on the body. If you have them, wash everything that came in contact with the bed, the carpet, sleeping clothes, and hire an exterminator.

How to get rid of bed bugs bites scars ?

I have these unsightly scars on my arms and have no idea how to get rid of them !

admin answers:

You should see your doctor and he or she will prescribe you the best medicin to get rid of those scars.
I also would through my matris out if you realy have bedbugs and buy a new one. Get rid of the headboard also, cause what I have read on this subject, the bugs hide out in the back of the headboards too, not just the matris.

Good Luck

admin answers:

It seems that you have to wait for them to heal. In the meantime, you can call in exterminators. About.com recommends the following methods of getting rid of the bedbugs which can live for a year without a meal.

"* Thoroughly wash, vacuum or clean all surfaces and bedding.
*Wash or dry-clean bedding and affected clothing. Use hot water and a dryer on the hottest setting whenever possible.
*Vacuum mattresses, seal them in plastic and leave them outside in the hot sun for as long as possible.
*Steam clean carpets.
*Spray cracks and crevices with an insecticide designed to control bedbugs. Follow the label directions carefully. Do not treat bedding with insecticide

how do i get rid of bed bugs?

I 've been living in my new apartment for two weeks and i noticed a lot of bites on my daughters arm. I took her to the doctor and he said they are bed bug bites! I inspected her room and sure enough there they were. I tried to spray them with raid, I even fumigated the room but they are still there! what should I do?

admin answers:

Thoroughly clean the infested rooms as well as others in the residence. Scrub infested surfaces with a stiff brush to dislodge eggs, and use a powerful vacuum to remove bed bugs from cracks and crevices. Dismantling bed frames will expose additional bug hiding sites. Remove drawers from desks and dressers and turn furniture over, if possible, to inspect and clean all hiding spots.

Mattresses and box springs can be permanently encased within special mattress bags. Once they are installed, inspect the bags to ensure they are undamaged; if any holes or tears are found, seal these completely with permanent tape. Any bugs trapped within these sealed bags will eventually die.

To prevent bed bugs from crawling onto a bed, pull the bed frame away from the wall, tuck sheets and blankets so they won’t contact the floor, and place the frame legs into dishes or cups of mineral oil.

Caulk and seal all holes where pipes and wires penetrate walls and floor, and fill cracks around baseboards and cove moldings to further reduce harborages.

If you are a tenant, contact your property manager or landlord to discuss your respective obligations, and to agree on a plan to manage the infestation. Generally, landlords are legally required to contract with a licensed pest control operator.

Request a written integrated pest management (IPM) plan from the pest control operator. This plan should detail the methods and insecticides to be used by the pest control operator, and describe the efforts expected by the building manager as well as by the tenants.

Because bed bugs and other pests may spread through cracks and holes in the walls, ceilings and floors, it is wise to inspect adjoining apartments on the same floor as well as those directly above and below.

What are your rights and obligations?
Landlords and property owners have specific legal obligations to provide safe and habitable accommodations for tenants. Certain infestations, including bed bugs, may constitute an unacceptable condition. Tenants have an obligation to cooperate with owners and landlords. This includes preparing the apartment so that the pest control operator can easily inspect the rooms and treat if necessary. Contact your state or municipal health agency or housing authority for more guidance on these issues.

Do not apply pesticides unless you fully understand what you are applying and the risks involved. You are legally liable if you misapply a pesticide, or apply it without a license to the property of another (including common spaces in apartment buildings). Generally, landlords, owners and building managers cannot legally apply pesticides. They should, instead, hire a licensed pest control operator to confirm the infestation and to develop an integrated pest management plan.

Do not dispose of furniture that is useful. Infested furniture can be cleaned and treated. Placing infested furniture (particularly mattresses) into common areas or on the street may simply help spread bed bugs to the homes of other people. Infested furniture intended for disposal should be defaced to make it less attractive to other people. Officials in some municipalities affix to potentially infested furniture a label to warn of bed bugs. To reduce opportunities of infested furniture re-entering their building, building managers should ensure that any disposed furniture is locked within a dumpster or immediately carted away to a landfill or waste facility.
