Ok this is kind of long but I need to vent! So I have a bit of a dilemma and I'm extremely aggravated.... I moved in with my boyfriend a couple months ago and he had a problem with, I even hate to admit it but bed bugs. I've done what I can to get rid of them but I have no way of thoroughly getting rid of them because it's like my boyfriend doesn't care about it at all. Every morning on the dot I wake up at 6am for some reason and I always have fresh bites on me and they itch like fucking hell and then I feel like shits crawling all over me and I can't get back to sleep. I'm pregnant and sleep deprived and I have an almost 2 year old to take care of all day and I have to work as well, but I'm always fucking exhausted. Last night I decided I wanted to tear apart the bed and get rid of anything that needed to go, I searched the mattress and it was clean, nothing on it, then I searched the box spring and realized it definitely needed to go. I did all this with little to no help from my boyfriend, he moved the mattress and the box spring for me but I asked him to take the box spring outside and it's still sitting in the damn kitchen. I told him that his bed frame probably had bed bugs in it and idk if we should keep it, he then flipped out and said he wasn't getting rid of it because it cost him 3000 and he just got it in March. So I compromised and told him to take a board off it for a second so I can check under it to see if it's clean and it was like pulling teeth with him just to help with that. He finally did and it seemed clean so I said fine. We put the mattress back on the bed and went to sleep. Woke up at 6am on the dot like usual and to no surprise, I had 3 fresh bites on me. I got up and took the flash light and looked around hoping to find a rogue bug so I could kill it thinking that would end it but I didn't get a chance to actually look because my boyfriend ended up waking up because of the flash light and then be flipped out because the light was aggravating him in his sleep and it was making him grind his teeth and he's had a sore tooth for the last few days but he refuses to go to a dentist for it. So he flips out because his tooth hurts and that's all he cares about, he doesn't care about me, his pregnant girlfriend, being sleep deprived and trying to function during the day when I have a near 2 year old and work and the first trimester exhaustion is full on right now... So now I'm sleeping in my son's room on the day bed in here because there isn't any bed bugs in his room thankfully. I'd like to be able to sleep in my own bed but it's not going to happen until this shit is taken care of and god knows when the hell that will be.

Notmally bed bugs wilm be over the whole house i believe. You can get foggers to help some.

@nitarose070793 yeah but somehow they aren't in my son's room thankfully, he never has bites and I've never been bitten laying in there on the daybed either. And yeah we're gonna have to fog or bomb at some point we just have so much stuff that it's difficult...

You gotta get a exterminator for them using foggers can make the problem worse. Usually it looks like spilled soda or syrup like brown on the rim of the box spring or mattress you usually don't see them just there excrements from feeding on you which tends to look like dried spilled soda 😖

@wafflez yeah I'm familiar with what it looks like this isn't the first time I've had to deal with then unfortunately. I was with another guy a few years back who had them too. We got rid of them then with that spray you use to go around the perimeter of the room and the mattress spray. Got them both at home Depot.

you need to throw away all furniture! they live in furniture and need to exterminate like weekly but ur baby and u shouldn't be home 4 that..

@ahenderson4987 @motherof3boyz702 it's not that simple for us. We don't have the money to buy more furniture and things we are basically broke half the time. All we can do if fog and bomb and that's really it. We threw away the box spring but the mattress had a protective cover on it so it's fine... But as of right now we are just staying out of that room as much as possible
