Every morning I wake up with more and more bites on me. Earlobe, arm, back, legs… They itch but are not painful. Yesterday I took all my covers off and saw a small, triangular, brown bug. It looked like a bed bug but not one I had seen before. I’m thinking of using a Bug Bomb (also known as a Fogger) to get rid of them, but my friend said they will return later on. Is there a permanent way to get rid of bed bugs?

I live in Brooklyn, where, unfortunately, there is a severe bed bug problem. I’ve been lucky enough to live here for 2 years without being infested. (knock on wood.) However, so many friends who have had the pests have freaked me out so much that I’m considering getting the apartment I’m about to move into fumigated or sprayed even though there seem to be no sign of the buggers.
Is there a downside to this, other than cost? Or a better way to keep from getting bed bugs while moving?

I just found out that we have a small infestation of bed bugs. We threw out our ol mattress and got new ones. I searched online for anti-bed bug covers and they were about 0 for mattress and box spring. I found a vinyl zipper cover in target for only 11.99. Will the vinyl keep the bed bugs out? Also, what can I use to kill them?

What i mean is, say you have a bed bug infestation, and bed bugs begin to bite you and then meanwhile a mosquito is also in your house and then actually lands on your skin to bite you right at the same time and same area the bed bugs happen to be. What would happen? would the bed bugs attack the mosquito or vice versa? or would they just bite you and not mind each other?

I have bed bugs. It has gotten to an overwhelming point though. I can’t sleep for nothing. It got to a point where I had to take sleeping pills to keep me knocked out because I had to get up to work. I tried cleaning the room and spraying down everything with bed bug killer. It stopped for about a week and little by little they popped up again.

I found a bed bug on my bag upon returning home in Canada. What have other people done to succesfully rid themselves of these bugs before bringing the backpack in the house?
