Or do I need to call an exterminator. A few days ago I woke up with a random rash looking thing on my stomach, then again a couple days after that. My friends thought it was bed bugs so I decided to take my sheets off and check my mattress and sheets. I havent found a live bug, but after research I do think I have seen the shells of the bugs. Any suggestions?

    Marebear,

    I have heard of people getting rid of them on their own using enzyme based products but it takes time and patience. These are pesticide free so are safe to use on your own and around pets and kids etc.

    The one I see mentioned most often is called Kleen-Free but they seem to have another product on their website called EcoBugFree for BedBugs so I think that may be their "New and Improved" or something.

    These are contact killers so they will kill what theya re sprayed on but bedbugs hide well so you need to spray every day and anywhere that they may be hiding and keep doing this likely for up to a month. If you do a good job you will notice the population decreasing slowly.

    Good luck.

    Sorry, but I think it’s impossible unless you buy a new mattress. My mother-in-law had them a few months ago. Took an exterminator 2 visits to rid them….they are VERY tough to kill. Over the counter stuff isn’t strong enough.
