Home Remedies To Get Rid of Bed Bugs
There are numerous natural, organic and bio-pesticides available on the market for bed bugs but there are also several home remedies to get rid of bed bugs. They are far safer for kids, pets and people with sensitivities, compared to chemical pesticides. 
Home remedies can safely kill bed bugs
- Use canola oil or rapeseed oil and pyrethrins. These herbs attach to the bug’s nervous system. They are also effective in killing the eggs.
- Black walnuts are also very effective in eradicating bed bugs from your house.
- Spread some mint leaves in those areas which are more prone to bed bugs. The pleasant smell of mint is unpleasant for bed bugs, thus it repels bed bugs.
- Spreading Lavender is also a home remedy to get rid of Bed Bugs. The smell of Lavender oil is a big turn off to bed bugs. You can also use lavender sachets placed in your closets and wardrobes. Its pleasant smell is very effective in preventing bed bugs. To make a Lavender sachet is not rocket science. First of all, dry some Lavender flowers. Then put the dried flowers between two pieces of fabric, and sew these pieces around the edges.
Lavender Sachets
- For best results, rub lavender oil on your bed frame. You can also add some drops the water used to mop the floor.
- Some special covers are available on the market made from special fabric. These covers can easily trap any bed bugs present in your mattress.
- One of the best known herbs to drive away bed bugs is Cayenne pepper.
- Treat your mattresses with steam as high temperature is very harmful to bed bugs.
- Always wash bed sheets and clothing in hot water. This not only prevents bed bugs ,but also kills already present.
- Frequently remove your mattresses and place them in direct sunlight, the sun since temperatures of over 113 degrees Celsius are said to kill bed bugs. This home remedy can also be used to destroy any lingering bed bugs.
- Scatter some “diatomaceous earth”, especially in your bedroom. Diatomaceous earth is composed of algae fossils which causes jagged edges in diatomaceous earth. These jagged edges cut the surface of bed bugs causing them to bleed to death when they crawl across it.
- Always remember that the bedcover or sheets should never touch the ground otherwise bugs can easily crawl up and suck your blood while you sleep.
- Placing toys, footwear, clothing, rugs, stuffed animals, bags and other non-launderable things in the drier for some period of time removes not only bed bugs, but also many other home pests. This removes bed bugs but after that do not forget to clean the laundry room as bed bugs can make their unwelcome comeback to other parts of the house from the laundry room.
- Spraying alcohol is not a definite fix, but can kill some bed bugs on contact.
- You can also make your own herbal spray. Mix 10 drops each of lavender, eucalyptus and rosemary essential oil in one cup of water. Fill a clean spray bottle with this mixture. Spray the infested area. Do not forget to wear gloves as contact with essential oils can cause health problems.
- Spread some boric acid powder on the infested area. Never apply boric acid directly to mattresses.
Some safety tips
- Keep the spray out of the reach of children.
- Never spray on mattresses, sofas or other areas of direct human contact. Though organic, these sprays can be harmful.
It is far better to take care of few dos and don’ts. Try to prevent yourself falling into the temptation, where an extreme condition persuades you to use toxic chemical pesticides, which are harmful not only to bed bugs, but humans too. These home remedies are safer and cheaper. Stop reeling from bed bug agony, make use of home remedies to get rid of bed bugs.

Comments on Home Remedies To Get Rid of Bed Bugs
I found this information on Bed Bugs very informative and helpful. I knew these pests lived all over the world and was told of their terror by my elders. As a child of the 50′s this is the first time I’ve had to deal with them and armed with the information I got this morning this will be the last time I have to do the “Home Alone Scream” because of them. I’ve already gotten the can and foggers by Raid. I intend to bomb my entire home. I will be removing clutter as soon as I get off this computer. I use alcohol consummately and love the smell of lavender, rosemary and thyme. I shall make sachets from old panty hose because it will require only the knotting of the open end (the no sew method). I shall also search for a reasonably price mattress cover. A good knight slept is very important to me and I am determined to get back to having them. I found I was very allergic to both the reality and thought of these menaces. Thank you.

Okay curious about a few things, I understand the clutter and will take care of that very soon, curious though where does one find lavender flowers at so the sachets can be made. And is the concentrated lavender oil one would use for the plug in and what not work for the furniture and what not. One more question though would plastic drop sheets, one uses for painting be used to create a bed bug sheet for the mattress, if so that will be much more cheaper to go with since I live on a limited income. ??

as nice of info this is, 113c is above what the outside temp of the sun will get. Don’t bother taking your mattress outside people, there is no way in hell, it will get to 113c LOL

I have found that unless you are going to bath the bugs in Alcohol it really doesn’t do much. Multi purpose cleaners, seem to kill on contact. I have used petrolum jelly on the legs of my chairs and beds to keep them from getting up. Create sensors. I use a dog dish in the room that I have issues with. put masking tap on the outside so they can get up… but once in they can’t get out. I tried dry ice to attract them, but it didn’t work as expected.

i am mortified i can’t stand the thought of even thinking that i have them i am terrified of bugs so just to know that they can possibly bite and feed off of me at night without me knowing or even be in my bed and i don’t know drives me crazy. i can’t believe how this thing with these cratures has gotten out of control. it make me itch just thinking about it, i wish they would come up wit a much easier way to get rid of them

Well we have found out that we had bed bugs in our oldest boys room. We only found one in there but I am sure there are more somewhere. I hate bugs and I keep my house pretty clean. I feel so dirty now!!! I dont know where they came from but they sure can leave here they are not welcome. WE have bought lots of chemicals and hopefully that will kill them we also got rid of the bed, pillows most of his toys and most of his clothes. Now what I am hoping now is that they dont move to a different room which I am sure that they already have moved to a new room.oh well I will do what i gotta do… and just pray to god that he will help us get rid of these things.
Hot debate. What do you think?

we got a infestation last summer. i did alot of reading and tried different things on the market. the bed bug bombs and sprays in the light purple cans at walmart DO NOT WORK! tried insecticides for whole house and outside still had them. finally since i work in the propane industry i tried heat.(do not attempt this unless properly trained) i used a propane forced air heater and fans to circulate the heat. i got everything in the house up to 130 degrees f for 4 hours. on the couchs underneath you could see the bedbugs scrabling for cover and acting drunken. when the got in direct flow of heat they died. we had no problem for 4-6 months then started noticing them again.we will have to redo this method.but if you have plastic items you will wanna secure them somewhere they wont melt. medicine bottles need to be put in refrigerator or something. some cleaning supply cans, can and will explode with too much heat.you can safely go into the building with the heat going for a brief period maybe 5-10 minutes at most and only go in 1-2 times a hour to check on things. never do this and think you can just come back in a few hours. you may rid yourself of bedbugs but you may lose your home as well.best to be able to monitor through a window at all times.

This is driving me batty already, my upstairs neighbor accidentally let a squirrel get into our building a few months ago and we all thought it somehow got back out because we haven’t seen it in weeks, WRONG! As it turns out the dang thing found it’s way into our basement and into my shed/storage and died there and it seems ever since then we’ve been having troubles with bedbugs. Is that possible or just sheer coincidence?! I can’t take it and can’t stop itching, not only from the bites, but from the heeby geebies! The thought of how long this is taking to get rid of them & will it ever be controlled is making me nuts!!! I’ve spent a lot of money out of my pocket to try and rid my home of bed bugs, but it doesn’t seem to be making any sort of difference. Are landlords responsible for taking care of this pest problem or is it up to the tenant to tend to or pay for it?

@Cee Mill: I’ve recently had bed bugs in my apartment, and have successfully gotten them removed with heat treatment. I was told by the exterminators never to use bed bug “bombs” because all they do is repel them – the bugs then disperse from their hiding places and find new places to hide …so they end up spreading in the home, and maybe even in neighboring apartments, which makes it harder to get rid of them.

We started using bombs and sprays that we got from Home Depot it worked but did not get rid of them all. so we called terminix they give you a 90 day guarantee they will be back for the 3rd time this week. We tossed out all rugs and mattress some stuffed toys, it looks like most bugs are gone. We have also put cups under bed legs with ether talcum powder or diatomaceous earth. We put diatomaceous earth behind heater shrouds and on closet floors. We also wash everything in hot water then in a hot drier for 45 min.. This is war everybody in the house has to be with you, don’t let bedding touch the floor they will climb up.

@William Hohmann: You can go to Walmart to the section where they have candles usually and they have various oils as well as potpourri which you could get in lavender as well as other scents and it is fairly inexpensive. I was looking at some the other day for another reason and had I known my kid had bed bugs then I would have picked them up! Good luck with yours! And keep your fingers crossed for mine! hehe..

@Cee Mill: First, sorry for my English which is not perfect, I’m francophone from Montreal, but I had a problem with 2 different bugs (the one who loves matelas and another one who loves EVERYTHING). The best thing for me has been a steamer (H20 as advertised on TV) and Boric Acid mixed with syrup or anything sweet. Regarding the Boric Acid mixture, you put a little in a small pot and you use Vaseline inside the pot all around the top so they smell the mixture but the Vaseline makes them stick and they can’t move anymore. You put few pots in different places, especially near the frig, the wave, the washing machine, your computer, TV and also near the food of course. Be careful if you have a domestic animal

Well,
I am new at this.I remember them in the 50′s,but now I found only a few in my bed. I threw away my bed and have painted,exterminated . I went through everything, including magazines,plants etc.etc. What I didn’t know was that my neighbors had them months ago and no one said anything. We can’t just get rid of them by fogging or calling pest control.They hide everywhere .Many people assume they are to be treated as roaches and it’s not even close. Bed bugs are smart.They detect a human being from a distance and will creep up on you. Seek more info and go through the step by step process of cleansing your home for about one year.They are not easy to get rid of. I plan to continue for one year one room at a time, including closets,walls,baseboards and of course furniture and wall outlets. I will be back with an update. By the way,I have been bitten and am still treating my bites.
Good luck everyone.Don’t give up, they wont disappear in one week, but it is up to us to kill them!!!

Ok- this is a long battle with bedbugs- but I’m posting what I already tried to help others. It’s been over 1 year and I’m still getting bitten. All that I mention below I’ve tried and still get bites. We’ve tried the 3 month chemical treatment (maybe 5 treatments total), we’ve kept our clothes sterilized and in plastic bins with the slippery sides, we washed in hot water and dried the sheets and our clothes every night, mattress and boxspring encased, threw out our platform bed, threw out our new sofa, my husband has vaccuumed our bed and sofa and all cracks at least 10 times, he’s steam cleaned all cracks and bed and sofa (still getting bitten on the new bed and sofa), we’ve tried the boric acid on all cracks and crevices, we’ve tried vaseline, double sided tape, DE Diametacious Earth, bought a bedbug tent, I have slept everywhere up to the dining room table which I got the least bites (submersed table legs in containers with soapy water). We only find dead bedbugs, but none alive. Family thinks that it’s just an allergic reaction, but it’s the same symtoms in the morning, clusters of bites in certain spots and disappear later in the day. And everywhere I change to sleep, I always get a couple of bites, and increases the more nights I stayed at the same spot. I have heard that could be recurring bites, which may be true, but I don’t know for how long (I think I read up to 9 months). So it’s very hard to say if these are older bites that are resurfacing or new ones. Some bites look more pronounced than others, and I have seen other comments to marker the bites you see, so you can tell the new ones. I know what everyone is going through. We feel like we’ve turned into another person we don’t recognize ourselves in the mirror and feel powerless and cursed. I have went from feeling horror, to feeling desperate crying at nights afraid to sleep, to lifeless and numb unwillingly donating my body to the science of bedbugs. I was even looking for a plastic coffin (plastic bin 6 feet long with slippery sides) to get 1 peaceful night’s sleep. I have read almost every treatment, article and blog posting on bedbugs. The only things I want to still try is the heat treatment, the mint, alcohol, and lavender. Don’t give up everyone!! I hope what I mentioned will save people time- and to everyone good luck!

Just to add onto the list of things we’ve tested to get rid of bedbugs- we’ve put out all the furniture in -30 celcius (-22 F) for over 1 month in Jan-Feb- did not work- I read articles that it did- and other articles that it didn’t.

Sorry- I’m remembering more things we tried! We’ve also tried the canine detection service- he had 2 dogs 1 after the other and pointed out the same spot (my daughter’s room that there were no signs of bedbugs)- we got another chemical treatment and still 6 months later I’m still getting bitten. I still believe that the canine detection is good (I think the show Verminators are trustworthy example) but I read it needs to be strict practice continually testing the dogs’ ability.

Hey guys! I’m new here and I know without doubt that I have bed bugs! I was irritable as hell at work today which I think altered my performance! What’s weird is my guy doesn’t have a single bite or sign of them! Meanwhile, they go bonkers on me! I haven’t tried any of the methods but I will tomorrow! There is some spray at Walmart that is suppose to be a great source in ridding your home of them! My guy and I are going out tomorrow to get some of the spray and it’s about $7! That’s if it’s in stock because the one Walmart I called told me that as soon as its on the shelf, its gone just as fast! So I’ll be trying the spray, alcohol, sun, plastic, extreme heat from hell, Jesus, ANYTHING!!!!

@danielle hernandez: The best way is pay a professional..get furniture steam cleaned then vacumed..at same time go to laundry mat wash all colthes,curtains,ect..if you had them bad enough they will live in wood tv’s ect..they can live without a feeding for 18 months they get in sneakers to hide..pay for a professional dog to come in your home and the dog will alert any area they r hiding so it will help to be cheaper to know maybe they r in one chair and one bed get your house treated throw away them things or steam clean them it will kill them…good luck

I’m an old fashion girl.. I don’t have a job nor money.. But I remembered my grandmothers always talking about those critters.. I taught it was a myth until now.. But every time I visited gramma’s I would asked what is that smell in your houses and they would tell me it was moth balls to kill and keep the bugs away.. And it works .. I clean the beds and walls and floors with ammonia and threw mothballs under the beds and behind the beds and the bed bugs hasn’t bother us again..I’m gonna keep using the mothballs.. It doesn’t smell that great (to me) but I’d rather deal with the smells instead of the bugs…

Oh and it is best to look for tell tale signs of these BED BUGS when you have a flash light and while wearing glasses. Some tell tale signs that nobody has seemed to mention are: Look behind PICTURES hanging on the WALLS. The bugs collect behind the frames and you will see evidence that looks like small blotches of blood. Tiny little specs that resemble pepper on the walls which is actually bug urine or excrement in the form of blood that they sucked from your body. Look at the BASEBOARDS down at the perimeter of the room where the wall meets the carpeting for similar little tiny black or rust colored specs resembling pepper from a shaker. Look at the outlets and light switches where you plug your appliances into they too can be a home for the bugs. These are a sign of where they are congregating and where they have established home base. Hit home base hard with everything that you have and don’t stop until you move out of that place. Anymore it seems like an impossiblity to get rid of bed bugs but you can certainly keep how many you are living with down to a minimum. Attack these bugs as often as possible. At 9 pm, at midnight, at 4 am and 6 am and so on. You can never let up. They do not give you a good nights sleep so you should do the same in return. Be as much a pest to them as they are to you.

I did discover a BEG BUG KILLER solution fro am local BUG EXTREMINATOR company which costs 44 dollars for a antifreeze sized jug. This stuff really works. You must use extreme caution though because if any gets on you or if you breathe in any of the vapors then be prepared to call the poison hotline. This stuff is dangerous but it will kill the bed bugs and any other kinda bug. JT EATON KILLS BEDBUGS II is exactly what this bed bug killer is called. Wear rubber gloves, a face mask the more expensive the better,eye protection, long sleeves and pants. Do not get any of this stuff on your skin and do not breathe it’s vapors. It is a spray on deal that you spray on with a pump sprayer like a windex bottle has. I was violently sick for 48 hours after I applied this stuff all around the baseboards in my apt. I don’t know how it got on me or if I breathed in the stuff but I was not careful enough. It made me wish that I hadn’t used it and just lived with the bedbugs. At least they cannot kill you. Be careful.

Here’s what I found. Alcohol 91% sold at Walmart for $2.15 has worked for me. (Hopefully) I started August 15th after a sister friend told me to do it based on her success as a rental property owner. I also placed a plastic mattress cover ($9.99) from Target over the bed bug mattress cover from Bed Bath and Beyond ($70.00) because I found although the bed bug mattress cover was much more comfortable the bed bugs could still get to me because of the fabric combination. The bed bug cover is good to keep bugs on the mattress from getting out but the ones who come visit from their hiding places still has access. So I spray the alcohol afternoons, evenings and when I get up to go to bathroom in the middle of the night whatever time that may be. So its plastic mattress cover ( I heard bb do not like straight up plastic), alcohol spray 2 to 3x daily. It works for me thus far. In the past I have used baby power sprinkled around bed. Legs of bed set in oil. Lavender spray (I still use it because I like the smell). Bed bug spray used but can get pricey because the spray would only last a week. I forget to mention I spray my bed and the couch next to me bed where I think they are hiding but I’ve never seen them. I only experience the bites. Hope this is helpful. It certainly is less expensive.

This is Lynn again. I forgot to mention when placing sheet on bed I do not cover the plastic completely. I pull sheet down, but not down and under I leave the bottom of mattress cover exposing the plastic. Also I had a professional come in but after (1) year the bb reappeared. The first time I went looney. I threw away, mattress, box spring, the bed itself, removed carpet [got wood floors] replaced based boards. Washed and dried all clothes [its the dryer (heat) that kills them. I did all I could. They went away but reappeared this past summer again. The key is DO NOT PANIC. When you panic you go to extreme, costly measures and there is no assurance they wont’ come back so just think it through and do the alcohol. Like I said that is working for me. A good spray bottle from home depot and 91% alcohol, regular plastic mattress cover. Note if you get a hole in plastic just tape it up with a strong packing tape.

You all aren’t going to believe this, but I have all but gotten rid of these buggers by accident. I got a wicked case of bronchitis & my Dr prescribed a humidifier with Vicks in it. It’s working! They have stopped biting & I’m vacuuming every day. I’m also using Gold Bond Powder at night, & this is helping. Both of these items have eucalyptus oil in them & it is known to both kill them & deter them.
Good luck!

@AJB: ajb, to answer both of your questions simply yes, allow me to explain .Yes, by law if the apts. are four units or more its the landlords responsibility, if its less than a four unit apt. set up then its the tennants responsibility. (please keep in mind I live in WV). Trust me I know this for a fact from my own personall experience, and from my parents they used to be landlords once upon a time.I also just learned that I have bed bugs. For the last year & a half my apt. complex has been infested with them & I have taken many prevention methods(I will list below) that seems to have worked up untill a month ago.(thus leading me to this website) As for your other question @ the squrrel yes it very well may have traveled on that little cute creature. Do some good reaserch on the web & you will find that all through history many farmers dealt with bedbugs due to the fact that yes they will nest on cattle. From what i also gather they will hang out in human hair as well,(although dont quote me on it yet I myself have not yet had the oppurtunity to investigate this more thoroughly . Now heres what I suggest for anyone who shares my struggle to get rid of them PRAY & be patient.I am going to try the home remedies myself even thought my landlord is paying for proffesional help its been a slow process and I wont set foot in the apt. untill all proffesional measures have been exhausted . but since i have to go get my mail i will lay down my own home remedies just so I know I have done all I could as well. They can travel great distances for food and also hide in electrical outlets this I did not know. I will update when I can & let you all know how it goes, keep in mind I will be prying for all of you….
with love and God bless to all in the struggle,
Simone

My boyfriend and I were received hundreds of bits after staying one night in a Fort Collins Colorado hotel. Before leaving we had to throw out all of our luggage, including my laptop case, make up case, his leather shaving kit and all washables were washed and dried on high heat and the rest, dry cleaned. My $100 Stone Mountain handbag hit the dumpster also! The interior of the car was steam cleaned… Bugs gone but at a huge price as my luggage was expensive and new. That plus the cost of the meds turned out to be an expensive trip. I now carry Lavender spray with me and use it liberally when we stay at a hotel AFTER we inspect the room from top to bottom.

I have a friend who had bed bugs at his home. His house was INFESTED. They had to get the pros in! As I was going round to his place, I brought some back with me to my room. Didn’t realise until I started having red marks all over my body and one day I spotted one. I saw them all over the side of my bed. I did manage to get rid of them because lucky enough I spotted that little b**tard early on. What I used was a steamer, and I steamed everything. Not once but over a WEEK if not longer! Every gap, corner, u name it! BEWARE: They can fit pretty much anywhere as they flatten themselves, and they can jump too! And when u kill them u also have to kill the babies! They r hard to spot. The eggs look like white dots sometimes black n very small. Oh! And they don’t like light, so they r most likely to come out when its dark. I hope this helps to whoever read this.

Bless you Dale! Bless everyone for your tips and good luck! I’m going to get some gold bond powder & a humidfer. I’ve spent close to $100 trying to get rid of them myself. A pest control company gave me a quote of $1400 — and then told me all the stuff I would have to do to get rid of them! I can’t afford that and if I have to turn over furniture and whatnot I might as well do it myself.
I’ve read that mint leaves repel them too. The war begins tonight

I have thousands of bed bugs.Every night before sleeping,my mom would take the flashlight,a tissue and a bottle of water, to kick them out of my house!Super Sleepless that time,but when its over,I got back to sleep.There’s a time when we called a bed bug exterminator,we have to stay in a spare room outside our house, but to my fear,THERE ARE SPIDER WEBS AROUND!!!!!!!!However,right now, I wondered whether these webs could catch bed bugs.

We tried with hot water spray and it works, you need to identify the smallest of the location for these bugs and it works. Only issue is we need to do it for a continuous 6 months to wipe them all.

I really think the mothballs could really do the trick….maybe that’a why so may older generations used them. I dont know where these things came from but bring back DDT…. they are the worst. I cleaned yesterday and know that eggs are left and other hiding bugs are around. They dont bother me as much as my boyfriend…I think his snoring gives them a signal!!!

For all of you with RETURNING bed bugs after a prolonged period or even after professional help you need to evaluate how exactly they are coming in! For example: if your child, or even you, goes to visit someone who has them and then comes home, they can “attach” and come back in your house!Please everyone find your local Health Departments phone numbers and report any and all infestations! That’s the best way to work together here!They can help you identify where the buggers are coming from too! WRITE, DATE and COPY a letter to your landlords about the infestations! More times than not the Landlords ARE responsible for the problem! I live in a condo and found 2 bugs in the middle of the day, brought them to the office asking for help and they said it was just beetles that they seen in the next building the day before! (CLUE? DUH!) A week later I was chewed to pieces! My DOCTOR was calling the Health Department!(I am extremely allergic to the bites!) Terminex is on their way! The home remedies definitely do to help prevent getting bit until SURE they are all gone! Also the bugs don’t like the plastic cause it is slippery and can’t climb it. Putting plastic on your box spring also can help prevent them climbing over the sheets when you tuck in! If you have wooden bed frames then clean with hot soapy water and even putting slippery tape on your bed’s legs can help until you can get the treatments. Unless professional help is done in all apartments in your building the likelihood of a return is inevitable!

Thank you for all of your comments…I will be implementing them asap! As for the itch from the bites, I learned a few years ago to use LISTERINE MOUTHWASH for chigger bites and it is now also working for the bb bites as well. I just apply it with a cotton ball drenched in it–if cotton balls are not available, I use toilet paper in the same way…if the bite is REALLY itchy, you can make your own “bandage” and tape the cotton ball or toilet paper drenched with the Listerine onto the bite and just give it a little more time. Also take Advil or whatever works for you to alleviate the itching while you are recovering. God bless you all and don’t forget to ask Jesus for help–”He who calls on the name of the Lord WILL be saved.” He WILL deliver you when you CALL upon HIM!

@ARIZONA GIRL, If you think the gas heater can get the area upto 41°C, which is about 106°F can’t really hurt as long as nothing else at that temp is going to conbust ie perfumes,arasol cans, ect. i’d say use caution and could work i guess, but 106ºF might have to get the heater hotter to make the area 106. Just thoughts GL

Bed Bugs can only be 100% eliminated by having a heat treatment done. The temperature must get over 135 degrees and stay at that temp for a number of hours. Heat treatments are expensive but it is worth it. There are programs out there to help with the cost, check your local dept of health. Also, make sure the company you go with has a guarantee on the service, at least 30 days.

My home was recently intruded by these icky bed bugs!! I have 3 children, 2 of them are small and love to get into any and everything!! These unwanted house guests need to go, however, they were transfered, through clothing, from my mother in law’s home to ours. She has had them for a long time and has tried absolutely EVERYTHING to get rid of them!!! She has gone as far as trying illegal routes, making her own sulfur candles, which, did NOT get rid of them!!! We use a lot of the herbs given in these recipes, in our home daily, so making the solutions/sachets will not be a problem, but, how effective will the herbs be with bedbugs that are prone to Sulfur!? I need help, these bugs seem indestructible! I also saw on the local news, there is a growing problem with these powerful bugs in our area, I need help, my babies and I are getting eaten up. My boyfriend doesn’t get eaten up as much as the rest of us because he is constantly using Lavender, Eucalyptus, and other oils and herbs, all the time. But, the herbs he uses, which were also recommended for the ridding process, doesn’t kill the bugs in our home!! SOMEONE HELP ME!!!

We have found we have bed bugs in my house, it is a terrible feeling …to all who move room to room trying to get away from these bugs..DON’T!! Bed bugs find you because they are attracked to the Co2 you breath out, so when you go to another area in time that area will end up infected too. I also saw where they were going to evacuate for 3 months, this also does no good seeing as these devils can go over a year without feeding. I will be trying the natural stuff first and pretty much figure I will be doing the heat treatment. I wish all luck in their adventures. I think that they can be very dangerous and their bites can cause allergic reactions and even infections, which makes me worry on the topic of my father recently passed away from an infection while on chemo and at the time we didn’t know we had bed bugs and I’m thinking there might be a link between the infection he had and these freaking bugs.

if you read the posts, 3 months is not long enough. it takes a year for them to die. on the news near me, they stripped a house, chemically treated it in stages and then roasted it to get rid of the bugs. Please go all the way so that these don’t spread to other people.

@MARIE: if you have carpet, GET RID OF IT. they love to hide and nest within the carpet. also, SEAL up EVERY HOLE in walls and aroumd baseboards with a product called DAP. You can buy it at Home Depot (in paint section) and it comes in various colors and can be painted over. after you seal every hole, put the D Earth on it. Also, spread the D Earth on the backs of picture frames, inside around window frames and electric sockets, inside closets. i’m dealing with this now and we’ve cut them down significantly.

@AJB: The Landlord is responsible for maintaining a safe habitat. The landlord is responsible for repairs caused by ordinary wear and tear and natural forces such as the weather. Tenants should pay for damages resulting from their own negligence or the negligence of a guest.If repairs are needed, ask the landlord to make repairs within a reasonable period of time. If repairs are not made, make a written request for the necessary repairs and keep a copy of the letter.
If the repairs still are not made, the tenant may seek legal assistance. If the dwelling becomes unsafe due to the repair problems, the tenant should contact local health or housing authorities.
If a tenant withholds rent payments until repairs are completed, the renter may be in violation of the lease and may be subject to eviction.
Under very limited circumstances, the tenant may make repairs and deduct the cost from rent if the tenant
Has lived on the property for at least six months.
Has paid all rent owed.
Is not in violation of the lease.
Has notified the landlord of the problem and has allowed at least 14 days for the landlord to respond.
Has, at the landlord’s request, received verification from city inspectors that the problem violates city code.
If the landlord still does not fix the code violation within 14 days of receiving the city’s notice, then the tenant can proceed with the repairs.
I do hope this information will help you with your problem. Good Luck to you and hopefully your landlord does the right thing and handles the problem.
Signing off for now…..

Bed Bugs are the nasty creatures God could have creaed on this earth out from the cockaroach!!!!!! I have had these horrible things since last June for I thought it was mosquito bites since it was just before summer.
I have had several treatments (approx. 7; 8 tommorrow) and it has not worked so far. I guess because the treatment are done in the afternoon and in a couple of hours the stuff has dried and these things come out just before dawn.
I have read alot of info on this website and on Grandmas home remedies which was very helpful. All I can do is take peoples advice and pray alot. I wish every lck and luck to myself also.

I also have a problem with these nasty little creatures, and it is mentally driving me crazy.
I have tried several things and yet they still keep coming back, seems like me and my oldest daughter have a reaction to them, my husband and other daughter are not suffering.
It’s awful to constantly itch, not to mention it is embarrassing.
I don’t like the smell of moth balls, but i am willing to give this one a try, I would rather deal with smell than get eaten alive every night.
I have prayed so much and will continue to, I know that God hears mine and all of your as well, and he will heal us all…
Best of luck to all of you.

Hi all. I have been trying to get rid of bed bugs for awhile now. So here are the two things working right now.
1. I bought RAID MAX for bed bugs. I sprayed my room and all the doors panels both sides and the carpeting.
I found dead bug all of the place and mostly on windowsills.
But I did not spray the other rooms yet and I found a live one on a different wall. I picked it off the wall and found a disposable bowl. I the bug on top of Comet with bleach without any water and it kind of was stunned but then I put maybe 2 teaspoonfuls of water and mixed the Comet with bleach and water….bammmmm that thing was dead on the spot…immediately. That’s what I’m talking about instant death for these things.
I am washing all the clothes, pick up carpets etc in a small mixture of it. My first load I just got over-reactive and put too much of the Comet with bleach and it made the white clothes blue. But I sent the clothes and one white sheet through the wash cycle again and the blue coloring was completely gone.
Now I just have to figure out how to work the mattresses. I put plastic covering on both mattresses and I haven’t seen any bugs on them but I still have an itching when I even just sit on the bed. So I will try and comet/bleach and Raid Max the heck out of it and see if the ithching disappears. I’ll let you know. Thanks Sue

To get a good night sleep get a cot bed with the six legs and on each legs put bug glue traps wash the covers and pillow you will sleep with and dry with hot air. Don’t let the sheets touch the floor and while you are at it get more bug glue traps and put it all over dark areas near your surroundings, sleep nice and let the traps do its work. By the way you will be the bait but the traps will be on. Wake up in the morning and leave the sheets and pillow on the cot bed. Do this for as long as you have bedbugs and you will be okay. If they can’t eat they can’t multiply and eventually die.

Okay, I’ve been reading way too much about these bedbugs and I have them too. I also am killing them as well. I decided not to be the victim but the attacker. Fine they hunt at night for my blood and best time is 2am to 5am. Well is time for me to be the hunter and so should you all. Stop buying things that doesn’t work all you need is a weapon like all hunters and a trap. I set up a time for the hunt and a all day trap. Yes my friends these bug have changed me. Ive been traumatized and now is my turn. First thing is first, get a cot and on each legs put a bug glue trap. They can’t climb on your cot bed if there is no way. The pillow and sheets you use make sure you wash and dry them with high heat. Sleep tight and wake up early to start your hunt. In home depot there is a bed bug spray that kill these critters and it works so since I have to wake up at 5:30 I just set the alarm at four and turn on the light and with a flashlight I start my search below my cot bed. There are all over the floor. They can detect me like mosquitos through your breathing and they been all night smelling me but not daring to get to the leg’s of my cot. Some are foolish and tries but the others are smart. As I use a reading glasses to see them closer on the rug floor I spray them as I go. I spray them and watch them running to there home as well. I now know where they are comming from so I set glue traps and if it is a location where pets don’t go I put some bug white power that helps me kill these suckers. Now for the weird part. On the weekends as I am off from work I set up a trap at night on the floor. I first clean the floor then put bug glue traps all around in a square pattern not to let and openings set up a white or light color sheet on the floor but not to touch the bug glue and sleep there half naked…lol I wake up and look to see if they came in and nope they didn’t but I did catch a lot on the glue trap. All this was done one summer and up until now I don’t have them. My fear is that I’ve seen other people in my building throwing away there mattresses and I think my building is infected in general. I lived here for ten years and never had a problem but for now my problem is gone. Now I am ready this year if they come again. But I can understand all. The trauma it causes to make a man like me to use his own body as a bait and hunting them like an obsessed person.

These bug wants you. Try hunting for them early at there time with a can of bedbug killing spray. Set up bug glue traps all over and on all four bed legs. When you wake up at 4am or 3am trying using a flash like and reading glasses and a can of bug spray and start hunting them down. If you use the bug glue on the four legs of your bed and on the bed frame they can’t climb up but they are still there, so hunt for them. Try using yourself as bait. Find a spot in your house big enough for you to sleep on the floor and put bug glue traps line up on each other all around you. Make sure you leave a lot of space between you and the glue traps. Wake up in the morning and see how many foolish bedbug tryed to get in through the glue traps. Do this as much as you can and keep trapping them. Once there is no more bugs on your traps for a week or so then you took care of your problems. People lets not be a victim, let’s turn them into the victims… Okay so I’ve been traumatized from these bugs, but I don’t have them anymore…jejeje

@MARIE: Hi Marie, I know exactly how you feel. I live in an apartment building. When we moved in the building, I never had bedbugs. I have been in this building for 2 1/2 years. About 1 year ago, my youngest child, mentioned that he had bite marks on his neck. We thought it was mesquito bites. However I noticed that they were more pronounced in the morning. My husband and I decided to check his bed one day and that is when we discovered he had bed bugs. We threw out his bed. We now noticed that my eldest son was also bed infested. We threw out his bed. We checked our brand new bed and noticed them there also as I have been chewed/bitten. We have not thrown out our bed as I have tried to contain the bedbugs; however very difficult. I, like you, have tried everything to get rid of them. We are planning to move out on June 30th and not sure how not to bring these creature with us. I am doing hot steam treatments, Rubbing alcohol, vaseline, oils-lavender, eucalyptus and Rosemary. I even wash bedding every night. But when I go to bed, I feel as though I am still being bitten and so is my youngest son. The only way I get a good night sleep is when I take a double dose of a sleeping pill/aid. Can’t believe this is going on in my life and I am not a dirty person as currently I am not working and every waking moment I am concentrating on just this one thing. If you hear of something or a better treatment, please share. Don’t give up.

I have had to deal with these things for a few weeks now and they are really driving me crazy…..I have three kids in my house, and one of them is a 9 month old, so I am frustrated because my kids are getting bit and I’m not sure what to do. I got them because I was trying to help out a friend and let him stay with us, but he was staying with someone who had bed bugs, so when he came to stay with my family, he brought them with him. Now he is gone, and his friends are still here!!!!! I really am concerned because I have a five year old that has been to the doctor a few times because he has been bitten so much that it looks like he has really broken out in a bad way. I’m not sure what to do, but I will try anything, and right now finances are really tight, so I will try these home remedies and prayerfully they will work……

I have bedbugs and I can not sleep at night! I have read so much on them, and other people comments. I didnt even know I was getting bit.

She said her Mom use to just spray the mattress with bug spray. She said they got bedbugs from her wetting the bed at nights. I dont wet my bed Im 32 years old so why are they on my mattress? Im still working on getting rid of them. Im going to try the bug spray, 100% proof acolhol, lavender.im going to get plasic mattress covers. Now they say they dont like light!

@Lin:
I do apartment and house maintenance, and rehab homes for sale or rent; and I’m very familiar with the bedbug problem. As you already know, BBs are notoriously hard to get rid of. There are several reasons for this.
First, the egg cases are virtually impervious to chemical treatment (DDT and Dioxin are outlawed). They hatch approx. 10 days after being laid, and breed again soon after the young females feed. You must break that cycle.
Second, they find you in much the same way as mosquitos by backtracking a source of carbon dioxide such as an exhale. They prefer the dark and will hide absolutely anywhere you can shove a pin into. Every crack, crevice, nook, cranny, fold in soft material, and other places a novice would never think to look or spray. If you overlook ANYTHING when you are treating the problem, you will fail.
Third, most of the chemicals, home remedies, and stuff from Walmart, etc. may repel them for awhile (ie. over to your neighbor’s apartment). If you don’t kill 100% of them, they will return and usually with a vengence. It is imperative that ALL areas, rooms and adjacent apartments be treated in no more than a day or two of each other. Multiple treatments are almost always required.
There are a few chemical products available to non-professionals that will work on contact and for for several days after application to kill juveniles and adults. However, they are highly toxic and require detailed preparation of the areas to be treated. All living things must be out of the location for at least 8-12 hours, and the application must be extremely thorough. Talk to an experienced pro, and you may be able to save considerable expense on both labor and materials.
However, the most effective treatment I’ve found is to have a pro with the proper equipment to heat the areas being treated to 400F for 2-4 hours. It seems to even ‘hardboil’ the eggs, too. Only time will tell. Again, just call a few honest well-known pro’s and ask…at least that part is free.

I am trying everything I can possible think of to get rid of them. I have heard they hate mint, and lavender. so I bought a whole bunch including lavender bar soap and we took a bath with lavender bar soap and mint Eucalpatus bath salt. the bad news is that they problemly hide under the carpet. most of the time when they wake me up at 2 or 3 in the morning I catch as many as I can.when I don’t see anymore then I go back to bed. I am almost tempted to set my alarm to 3 am everyday just to get rid of them. things seem to be getting a little better but you know how that goes. one last thing they can acustom to what you use on them and then it is no longer effective so then you have to use something else. it is best to get as many as you when you can and to check often under every piece of furniture and behind. I have a new habit of checking everything I wear before I put it on.
