Question by Ron Brgundy:
I have a question about bed bugs?
I have heard that putting each leg in a cup or bucket of water will help some to deter them? I mean it can’t stop any in the mattress, but ones that are in light sockets etc?
Is this an ok idea? Also can I use regular plastic cups? I have a bunch I got from a football game.

In order to rid your house of bedbugs you really need to bomb every room and also wash your mattresses with baking soda and 20 mule team borax, lightly and let it dry thoroughly, then cover your mattress with plastic so they will suffocate.
You can also bathe in epsom salts or baking soda to relieve your discomfort.
Sprinkle the baking soda and 20 mule team borax in our light fixtures for awhile to see if that helps alleviate the bed bugs from that source.
If it doesn’t work the first time, try again.
