Ok y'all I need some serious help on bed bugs how do u get rid of them? No one in the house has gotten the bugs except for Karen and I need help on how to get rid of them!
Spray with alcohol... make sure to soke everything in rubbing alcohol!!! Even the wooden bedframes and the floors. If you have carpet yhen you need to pull it up or some it down... you will need to do this twice a day for 3 weeks.
@raheemah05 I know! But I have no idea how to go about doing it we have an exterminator coming in tomorrow morning
Those don’t look like bed bug bites to me. They look more like spider bites.
@pookiedoo we went to her pediatrician this morning she said it was mosquito and bedbug bites
You'll need to have an exterminator come out and examine first. If it were bed bugs I think they would have spread by now.
@kellyjc no that's why I called the exterminator cuz her doc said it was bedbug bites
ohhh i didn't see that comment
u should be able to see them along the seam of mattresses and couch cushions they gather in straight lines
@unicorn_mommy good lord 😭😭😭 we can barely afford an exterminator much less new furniture 😭😭😭😭😭
@karensmommy the exterminator uses horrible chemicals that don't always kill them and it's dangerous for the humans and pets in the house. My family dealt with them because of a stray cat that we took in... it was hell. Cheapest and best way to deal with them is rubbing alcohol.. I promise you it's the best. Just soke everything in rubbing alcohol and it will kill even the eggs... then you can just vacuum them up.
@unicorn_mommy we don't have box Springs her crib has like a metal thing that works as a box spring and our bed just sits on the floor
@karensmommy no problem. That's how we got rid if them. It's cheaper to go to walmart and get as high % of rubbing alcohol as possible and spray bottles. Then just soak down the whole room!!
@kaytibug2009 we have like 10 bottles of menthol rubbing alcohol that's like 60% will that work?
@karensmommy it can.. but the higher the %, the more it will kill if they are bunched up on top of each other. You need to remember that they survive off of blood and can even eat each other to make sure that the baby bugs survive.
@kaytibug2009 thanks I've never dealt with these before I'm 19 with an almost 2yr old so I really appreciate your help
@karensmommy not a problem... it happens some times... plus we dealt with them when I was a teen.
Ive had them before. Wash everything from sheets to clothes and any cloth in the house with very hot water and steam the bed corners and all take your time because it’s tedious use a flashlight and look very closely to the mattress and bed corners. Do this throughout the next week or so and if you catch it early enough you will kill them all. It worked for me
And dont move cloth from one room to another they stick to cloth and travel like that, check your car aswell
