First of all, termites and bed bugs are not the same thing at all. You could also have fleas and not bed bugs, unless you know how to tell the difference. Termites live in your walls and eat the wood, the don’t like the taste of people at all. If you have fleas or bedbugs, you should wash your sheets and bedding in hot water with a bit of bleach, and steam clean your mattress Then treat the carpet and drapes with insecticide made for use in the home.

I brought a natural product yesterday called Dustmite buster, its great ive used it before! Its just a mix of Clove, Rose geranium and Eucalyptus essential oils. (thats all thats in it you could make it yourself) You strip your bed right back, spray it over, let it dry, make your bed up with clean sheets (spray them too). Also it sounds like perhaps you have fleas in the bed, so mabye get a bug bomb to use when your out. Vacuume well when you get home.
Hope this helps…………
I don’t think termites bite you and suck your blood, but bed bugs do.
And spraying on the bed is not going to work. A spray works only when you spray directly on the bugs.
First of all, you need to wash all linens with hot water. And use a steam cleaner on the mattress to kill live bed bugs.
After everything is dried, apply bed bug powder. it is available from bedbugpowder.com and is natural powder that does not hurt your health.
apply the powder all around the bed as well, and leave it until bed bugs are gone. It may take a few weeks to completely get rid of bed bugs, but it does work.
When we had bed bugs, we tried everything including expensive exterminators. They call themselves “professional” but i don’t know what they are professional about because bed bugs came back after spending a lot of money on them. I did try sprays, foggers, and bomb. They seemed like “yeah it is working!!” but bed bugs came back after a few weeks.
Someone told me about the bed bug powder, and we tried it. It took a few days to start not getting bites, but bed bugs have never come back after all. It is safe to human and animals so we don’t have to worry about our kids and cat.
Its price is really reasonable, and it is very easy to use. Just put a little dust amount of powder and wait for a few days.
It is amazing that we had a bad infestation once, but we are still using the same mattress!!!
Try and see what I am talking about.
Good luck
