UGH!! Those pesky critters. I had them last year. They are a PAIN to get rid of… but it can be done. First, if they bite you…you will know. They look alot like mosquito bites. But bedbugs will bite 2 or 3 times in the same area. So you can have marks that are close together. Second, search the bedrooms under the mattress, in bed seams and in the linens. They are red insects about the size of a lentil. Also, make sure that you throw your clothes in the dryer for about 15 minutes before leaving the house. (heat will kill them). and vaccum often…but get rid of the bag, because they can crawl out. Call an exterminator immediately…and make sure they specialize in bed bugs. Good Luck! 🙂
