When the skin irritation first appeared, was it in a recognizable pattern? Bedbugs often leave bites in a straight line or a triangle pattern.
Most insects can be eliminated by freezing. The bags of clothes should be kept at Zero Fahrenheit for 36 hours, a new study has found.
Bed bugs can survive freezing temperatures, but cold can still kill them
Have you had the small bugs you did find identified? If the Pest Control people you have chosen cannot I.D. them you might try the Biology Dept. at a local college.
Vacuuming is always good but don't let anything you vacuum up stay in the bag or canister. Many species can breed in there.
Not really, they were around my ankle and my wrist hand. Which made also agree with the doctor. I did not at first empty or clean at first until some said it it might be bed bugs and I googled the what to do with them. Since then I have have tried
DE and found out little goes a long way...
Still trying to get that places
Encasement a for my beds
Sprays on things that can't be was or steamed
Not sure in my dryer is hot enough
Have go to those big zip bag and clear trash bags for clothes washed in hot water three times
Since my dryer is not drying hot as it use to I set it for 80 minutes
I vacuumed and clean wash everything down in hot hot water filter and all
I have steam cleaned my room
This slowed down the bites and the small red marks
But I still felt a bite, I mean ouch.. And my head felt like I wash scratching all the time. And everything I put jeans on or something thick I felt like I was itching.
So I started using a throw away lint roller.
Bingo.. I started seeing little tiny black specks. My son say their was nothing. I started Placing my glasses in hot water will showing and little tiny black speck float up. I also did this with any necklace I wore and the itching went down.
Everything was getting better.
Winter has come and had to get blankets out. I did wash them several times.
But I ended up in the hospital so, my normal vacuum has be slowed down.
I have been in bed for a few week and started feeling the bites again, this time I saw nothing on the rollers but felt my sheets like I had something . So I used my roller once again and all I saw this time was small white thing so small I had use my loop.
I change my she every 2 days, up till I got sick.the last 2 days is time I can I say anything the look like a bug again
The size is small like the end do ball point pen. The color of then is kind of green/brown.. Everything else has been whites/tan.. I have tried to contact a local college to send these off but I don't want to loose my only other sample.
I have been dealing with since June .
Soaking my clothes In Wearing micro fabric and putting my best high count sheet appear to deter them at night
But during the day.
I can see these thing come up on my leather furniture cause they are dark brown and they are white oblong. I spray alcohol on the and they die.
So for all this but they only time is see dark black is while they are so tiny I can see what they are.
