My one roommate definitely has evidence of bed bugs in his room and has since gotten rid of his mattress and box spring. My question is how easily can the move to other rooms of the house? And if I have not noticed any evidence of them in my room, is there chances that they are still there? The rooms are about 20 feet apart separated by a large open area with clothes closets in between.

What can you spray or whatever to get rid of bed bugs? What can you put on a mattress?

I’ve had bed bugs for a while in my room (just realized what they are), so I got rid of my mattress & bed frame and sprayed my room, carpet & everything with the proper spray. But they’re still there. Is there any way to fumigate my room? Any product I can use?

An exterminator will come 2morrow, but it’s costly. I just wanna know what I can do to get rid of them if I find them in other rooms my apartment.

My fiance’s old roommate gave him a futon and the mattress has bed bugs. How can we get rid of them without just having to throw the mattress away?

I have bed bugs. I get multiple bites on my hands almost every night.

I have enclosed the boxspring with a latex cover, but the bites continue. I’ve sprayed with Home Depot insecticide, which says on the bottle that it kills bedbugs. I’ve sprayed every inch of my bedroom with this junk, multiple MULTIPLE times, including spraying the mattress. I’ve also done the routine of washing all bedding in hot water (I do it just about weekly).

I’ve spent so much money on this, it’s ridiculous, from replacing pillows to paying exterminators to buying mattress enclosures. Do I really have to just accept that insects dine on my blood nightly and smear it on my sheets as they depart? Do I have to move and trash all furniture and belongings? Should I go to bed in a beekeeper’s suit? What’s a guy to do?

Hey all,

Recently when I go to bed, I get these sharp painful bites over my body from bed bugs. They have become a major annoyance and I’ve tried changing my bed and blanket sheets to no avail.

What can I do to get rid of these bugs in my bed? Your responses will be of a great help to me.
Do they also live inside blankets? Because one time I covered the top of my mattress with cling wrap and still got bites (though much less).

My neighbors across the hall had bed bugs and I saw them dragging out their mattress to be thrown away because the bed bugs had colonized inside the mattress. How do I prevent them from getting inside my mattress or box spring?? My mattress cost me about ,500 and I really don’t want to face the thought of disposing it.
