If you wash your sheets in the hottest possible water, with bleach, that should get rid of them. However, how you get them out of the mattress is another matter entirely.

most every bed had bed bugs fella. There are probably bed cleaners in your area, or tyou could always clean it yourself with a vacuum. That should ge trid of mnost of them. But, if you use bleach on your bed, it will turn whiute and discolored.

Bedbugs have become an epidemic recently. They are difficult to eradicate. Good Luck!

eeewww! You need a new mattress. you can wash the sheets and blanket and it should get rid of them.. but I would just throw it all out and buy new.

Chlorox will not kill bedbugs. If your apartment has bed bug’s it’s the owner’s responsibility to have the apartment treated for bug’s.

Check the internet for way’s to help with this matter.

Oh oh. Buy a GIGANTIC bottle of Pine Sol and spend the entire day cleaning your apartment with it. Use it Pure. Wash your sheets in it using half to one cup per load. Wash your floors with it. Get rid of the pillows and mattress and buy new ones. If you can’t afford it, then take the pine sol and soak a wash cloth in the stuff then wash your mattress with it. The bed bugs will hate you for it. They can’t live the stuff as it contains cedar oil and pure pine oil. do not buy the cheaper brands. They don’t work. I have a problem with bed bugs as well. Wash your entrance way to all the doors in your apartment and especially the thoroughfare to the door where they lay eggs and live. Use the stuff pure. Do not dilute it. The bugs will hate you for it. Wash your entire apt. twice a week in the stuff and they will be history. Don’t allow dirty scuzzy people who don’t wash into your apartment cuz they could be bringing them in as well.
