Question by aszkubel:
We just moved in to apartment, and find out, that there are bedbugs all over our and our kids sleeping area.?
We just move in to apartment, and find out, that there are bedbugs all over our and our kids sleeping area. No one disclose it to us before, that they had a problem. This is big apartment complex, and what they said was that we are lucky, because we got brand new carpeting put in. What we should do now? This is so disturbing for me, I can´t sleep, and I don´t want my kids to get hurt. Please help me, how to handle this matter. I read that these bugs can live for months, and go with you anywhere. We moved in for 5 months, and waiting for our new house to be build. What happends if these bugs will get on my stuff, and we will cary these to ur brand new house? This is so disgusting, I can´t even relax outside of the house. Please help.
There are also blood marks on the sheets. When you squeez them, there is a lot of blood, like they just had ther biggest meal of ther lives.

I would bug bomb the apartment. take the family out for a few hours, board any pets or take them to family member’s house and bomb the heck out of it. also make sure that the apartment complex provides a pesticide service to come in and spray in little crevices and hard to reach places.

Bedbugs are so tiny you can’t see them. Sounds like cockroaches.Move house
You CAN NOT fight them… the ones you THINK.. are dead.. are just hybernating. If they are the red or reddish brown kind… they will bite and bite and bite… believe me… i spent 2 yrs fighting… i finally MOVED and threw the mattresses away….cuz they reside in crevices of ANYTHING. Theres usually a HUGE mother type one under the couch… in seems of a mattress. I hate to tell you but… extermination does no good… it only slows them down till the unaffected eggs hatch.
* best bet, MOVE. leave the mattresses. the couch. and clothes. take NOTHING but what is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY and even at that… exterminate to the fullest FIRST. They prick you for blood… so if they cant find any… they flatten out and eventually starve. But that seems to take FOREVER!! My kids got eatten alive by these things.. I mean whelps all over… on their face and just EVERYWHERE…. it made me nausious and hurt my heart to see.
they are very hard to get rid of- we’ve been exterminated 3 times. they just keep breeding. i tried to move from my boyfriend’s apartment with our kids and before i even got any of our stuff moved i discovered the new apartment has them also, so now i am back at my boyfriend’s house waiting for that among many other disturbing problems to be fixed. my dad recommends camicide, but i don’t know where to buy it except on the internet. look it up, it says it’s pyrethins (which is the chemical that kills bedbugs). walmart doesn’t carry it i know that much.
