Answer 1

Rubbing alcohol, the strongest you can get, will keep the bugs off you. It is good for the bites and it is cheap. You can buy it from places like Wal Mart and from pharmacies.. Spraying the alcohol on the bugs will kill them. You need to get a mattress cover for your mattress. They do not cost all that much at Target. The cover needs to be on the mattress for a year because the bugs can live for a year without food. Vacuum your mattress and the whole bed and around your bed real good and the whole room. Eating some cheaper food to save money for a cover would be a good way to save for a mattress cover. The dry ramen soup is good. 3 for a dollar. A lot of college students eat it. If you do not have carpet, mopping with mild bleach and water or pine sol and water will bring them out so you can spray them with the alcohol.

Answer 2

Try and vacuum every seam of the mattress and box spring, use the crevice tool if you have one. If you have a hand steamer, steam every seam and around the mattress labels and the entire box spring. Wash any blankets, sheets and anything else you can in hot water, followed by 20 minutes in the dryer.



After treating the mattress, move bed at least 6 inches from walls and furniture. Keep blankets and linens off the floor, so bed bugs can't climb up on bed.



See the instructions below for some home made bed bug traps you can make with things around the house. Look at the 2nd on in particular - bowls under each bed leg, to keep more bed bugs climbing up on the bed.



If you can, buy an inexpensive mattress safe bed bug spray

I'm a professional Pest Controller (If you're in US, ye'd call me am " Exterminator ")



I hope ye in UK. If so, get straight onto ye local council. They'll arrange for one of their people to come round and start a treatment. This will most likely be free of charge. Just as well, because it can involve a Lot of work.



Unfortunately, I can in no way guarantee they can save ye mattress. Either way, expect the guy to go through your place like a Forensics team. Light switches, wall sockets, the lot. All have to be removed, checked and possibly treated.



'Best' thing I can tell ye is that there need be no stigma or embarrassment about having Bed Bugs these days. There's been a major upsurge in their incidence. Even top London hotels have had them. People travel abroad and unwittingly fetch them back in their luggage. Things like that. They're a growing menace in UK (and elsewhere) and Must be treated by a Professional with the proper training and equipment,



Speak to ye council. Environmental Health Department.

Answer 4

Bed bugs can not survive in fresh air, so take the mattress outside and let it 'air' for a few hours.

Check the seams of the matress for the wee gits and you can obtain a spray to kill the blighters.

Check the seams on the bed base also, as they like to live in these wee crevasses, so use the spray here also.

Answer 5

nighty night. don't let the bedbugs bite.







haha, just had to say that sorry.
