Question by Mariposa Traicionera:
Is there anything I could eat or apply that would make me unappealing to bed bugs?
I can’t afford to have the exterminators come out for about a week and a half. 🙁

some people eat garlic, but that will make you unappealing to more than the bed bugs.suggest you buy one of the many bug sprays

Possibly onions and garlic but you’d have to eat a lot of it. Dollar general used to sell bed bug spray for like $ 3. If they don’t then check with walmart and such. You may be able to buy a big spray bottle in lawn and garden made for bed bugs. Try washing all your sheets and such really well before bed. They say the bed bugs hide on the side of the bed along the wall so maybe you could put huge strips of duct tape along the edges of the bed and it’d catch them and keep them from getting to you until you can afford exterminator.Hope this helps!
no, they don’t discriminate.
for me
I flipped over my mattress.
then I sprayed all corners of my room, heated up water over 60 degrees and squirted it
in there, because they cant survive over that degree.
then I washed all my linens, and I put lavender dryer sheets.
I put my comforter and pillows outside.
I cant risk them coming back so I just sleep with a towel or light cloth for a comforter
& no pillow.
pretty exterminators suck @ getting rid of bed bugs.
but get a carpet cleaner that steams because itll kill the flock a lot easier.
