Question by syo:
Can a dog help get rid of bedbugs?

I have been reading about bedbugs starting to become more common in America. I think mine came from a trailer rental company when I moved. It was not a huge infestation but after reading all the information given it sounds like the lil buggers are very hard to get rid of. I have been on a very tight budget due to the move and was only able to spray my bed down with some safe pesticidal spray. I was not able to get a mattress cover. I didnt think that would get rid of them but they seem to be gone. The onl other thing I can think of is my dog sleeps under my bed. He always is protected from fleas with a drop dispersed type flea killer. Is it possible that the bedbugs are dying form this the same way the fleas do?

the drops on your dog’s neck keeps the fleas off of HIM but doesn’t kill every bug he comes near. it just doesn’t work that way…

make sure you wash your sheets once a week in hot water, & whenever you have the extra $ $ for a mattress cover, buy it.
