Yes. Wash your sheets and VACCUM your matress. I am serious. I saw it on the news and on Dr.Phil. If you do that, itll work. i do.

The trick I’ve known about is to only make your bed when its freshly cleaned bedsheets. After that don’t make it again till you wash the bed clothes again. Because the “bed bugs” thrive in warm moist places, and you make that kind of enviroment for them when you tuck your sheets and covers in.

Pretty standard. The most important rule is ” No rugs, no bugs “. Kids, parents, pets, shave them bald. The sure way to eliminate the bug is take away the rugs. Good luck, Slack.

First you have to buy a new mattress. Wash your bed frame. Then, when you have the bed set up, wipe some petroleum jelly aroud the legs of your bed. The bed bugs cannot get through it and into your mattress.

Getting rid of bed bugs is very difficult. Yes, getting a new mattress would help but you will need to do much more to eradicate them. You need to deal with every item in the infected room!

Also, a good way to find them is to look behind any pics you have on your walls – they seem to congregate there. Now, the most effective way, but no guarantees, is to use chemicals – these things multiply by the thousands every few days. I have also heard that freezing items (don’t know how you would do that!) is supposed to help.

It’s not going to be easy if at all possible – I would start with google, then I would call several exterminators to see what they have to say. Yuk! Good luck! 🙂
