Bed bugs and children?

Question by Jess:
Bed bugs and children?

I discovered bed bugs in our new home about a month ago, I went online and followed plenty of advice; how ever spraying 6 matresses with alcohol, vacumming everything and washing all bedding I am still finding a couple insects every few days.
I have 5 children and take pride in keeping their rooms in perfect condition. We don’t alow clutter in our house so why have we been infested by these horrible insects? What is safe to use around children and their matresses that will kill these bugs permanently?

Best answer:

I didn’t think you could see bed bugs. is it something else living in the room and making it’s way to the beds. maybe they are in the carpet. give the room a good spray with insect spray then vacum and leave the doors and windows open to air off. Put the children in another room for the night while the spray goes.

What do you think? Answer below.

they could have came from any where and yes, you can see bed bugs.
go to the store and buy a few cans of RID spray, the kind you buy to treat lice and evenly spray the beds and the floor. make sure ther are no tears in the matresses or creases that are not getting sprayed. after a few days I would spray everything down again just to make sure you killed them all and untill the beds are fully dry i would have the kids camp out in your room or in the livingroom.
they are like getting rid of lice, some times it takes a few tries.
Good luck on geting rid of them!
