Have a lot of you had problems with bedbugs? Do you know how they got in the house? How to get rid of them?
Thanks for the info--they aren't my bedbugs, they are my co-workers cousin's bedbugs. Thanks again!
They need to be sprayed. But they can hide. So their are companies that have bought special heaters to heat up a house, room by room to 120 degrees. This makes them come out of hiding and then they can be sprayed. I bet it's not cheap.
You need to do a quick google search as ther is SO much info out there right now re: bed bugs.
They can live up to a year w/ out feeding (on your legs!) so you have to get rid of them... and fast. They hide in weird places (like in picture frames, in the small slit between wallpaper seams, etc.) I've read a lot about it b/c my husband travels a lot.... from what I've read the heat process is the only thing that really works.
They ride on clothes, suitcases, gym bags, etc. that's how they move form place to pace.
You need to call an expert to get rid of them. Make sure they have experience dealing with this issue.
No I have not (Thank God!). Call an exterminator right away, they can get really, REALLY bad if not addressed correctly!
You should get a professional exterminator-in the meantime, if they are confined to the bed-you can encase them, fully, in a zippered bag the size of your mattress-they will not be able to feed and will be deprived of oxygen and they will die. All the bedding must be washed in the hottest water available-this is a difficult process-get some expert advice.
We use Melaleuca products for all of our laundry needs. Bugs hate Melaleuca oil, so it tends to keep bug issues at bay. Good luck to you!
