Question by unknown:
help! bedbugs?!?

i found a bed bug infestation in my mattress a couple hours ago. i’ve been spraying cans and cans of raid and black flag and other bug killers that specialize in ants, roaches, silverfish, etc. will this kill some of them? will these bug poisons have effects on the nest? i know i’ve drowned a majority of the critters in it. i’ve used like 5 cans of spray up so far.
tomorrow i plan on goin out and buying a spray especially for this problem, such as d 20 or whatever its called.
anyone have any other solutions for this though? or tips? any help?
and no, i do not wanna hire proffessional help from this, i read online you can buy stuff that’s 10 times more effective.

I suggest getting rid of the mattress and bombing your house with chemicals specifically made for bed bugs…I wouldn’t keep the mattress….

*EDIT*
Bedbugs are NOT the same thing as dust mites. Dust mites do not bite, they are not parasitic. Bed bugs live off of human blood.

You are going to have to at the very least get rid of the mattress. That spray stuff doens’t kill them.

My grandma used to place the mattress in the sun. It helps to dry out the mattress.

If you dont own a kirby vacume use a shop-vac it has a great suction.vacume a good 20-30- min each side.people shed skin just like a snake and thats what they feed off of the same with couches & chairs.gross but true.do this every 4 months

Ugh this makes me want to go and check my mattresss

I think your best bet would probably be to buy a new mattress, especially now that its soaked with chemicals
