Have you tried ‘bombing’ your house? That should work. But you’ll have to leave the house for a while. Maybe it’s time for a weekend vacation.
You also need to bleach everything that can be bleached, and wash all the linens you can in very hot water. Try using Borax in the carpet and on the bare mattress. Sprinkle it dry, let it sit all day, and then get it up with the vacuum.
If you’re still having problems after trying both, and bombing then you need to get help from a pro.
when you find out the secret, let us all know. they are annoying.
You don’t get rid of them. Professionals say you should get rid of everything they come in contact with such as sheets, pillows, and even the matress and all your clothing.
You might want to consider getting a new bed.
Hot water and bleach for ALL the bed clothes then line dry them.
Vacuum the mattress. Take a look here:

Oh.. those pesky things.. I haves heard that they are again making a come back into our homes….. Please excuse me but instead of writing down a lot of things, I am going to give you the URL concerning bedbugs… Scroll down the pages to get the ways to eliminate… BUT it is also interesting about bedbugs from the beginning of the article.. I do hope that helps
My friend just moved from an apartment infested with them…She said the exterminator told her they are the hardest bug to kill and sometimes they have to bomb for up to 4 years…
I seen this on TV but only if they are actually in the bed its self. They threw the bed away.
I am sick of them too!
We have found a way to keep them out of our bed and get a good nights sleep.
Do these things and at least 90% of the time you will not wake up with bites all over your body.
1. Remove everything from your bed and wash in very hot water and use a strong detergent that has bleach in it.
2. Take apart your bed and vaccum the mattress and boxspring.
3. Use grey tape and tape all along the edge of the box spring if it already has a cover on the bottom.If it doesn’t have something,covering it using an old sheet and grey tape it to the underside of the boxspring.
4. Keep your bed away from the wall.Keep furniture and other things away from the bed,so the bugs can not use it to get on the bed.Get rid of any kind of clutter,newpapers,books,clothes,that are close to the bed.
5. Sweep,vaccum,or mop your floors. We have hardwood floors so I use a vaccum then mop with hot water and bleach. If you have carpet you could steam clean.
6. Go buy a good supply of two-sided sticky tape, All along the perimeter of your box spring you will put the tape,I put two rows,just to be sure.
In the morning if you look you will see bed bugs stuck to the tape.
They can’t climb up the bed, sometimes little ones get past the tape,thats when I decided to put two rows.
If you do these things once a week at least they will stay out of your bed.Check the tape every once and a while.
Ours have migrated to the living room. They get a free meal when we are trying to relax on the couch,and you can not sit on the floor they attack instantly. This weekend the living room is getting the same treatment. If it works like it did in the bedroom, maybe they will move out!
I also sprayed with an insectide along the edge of the room.
Your clothes you should wash all of them then keep them in plastic bags or plastic containers.
We have been doing this for about 3 weeks and have not been bitten while sleeping.
Good luck! I hope this works for you too!
