I have bedbugs. The past two days I’ve woken up with bug bites, I found one of them yesterday, what do I do?

What I need to know is how to get rid of the little vampires, and how to I treat the bug bites. Also, how can I prevent them from spreading, and how to reduce the chances of them biting while I’m getting rid of them?

Wash all of your bed linens in warm-hot soapy water.

It may be time to purchase a new mattress…

“bed bugs” are actually more like mites. Unless you had a super powered microscope, that’s not what you saw. Do you have pets? If so a flea might be the actual culprit.

Wash all your bedding (sheets, blankets, mattress cover etc) in the washer. Have your pet treated for fleas. You may also want to consider bombing the house. Alot of super markets carry flea control products. Wash all of your clothes that were not in drawers. Vacuum your carpet, and even bed too. Fleas are quite hard to get ride of so please be sure to be thorough.

(fleas are small and black, they usually jump around)
