One was when my sister was living with us and the room she was in was always a mess. Bed bugs tend to hide in messes so it is good to keep rooms clean. We just move a couple months ago and when we moved my Lil sisters bed...we were disgusted. Well we found something that kills them on the spot, is cheep and safe for babys. If you spray RUBBING ALCOHOL on them...They will die. I have been infested by bed bugs a couple of times. One was when my sister was living with us and the room she was in was always a mess.

I can't wait for the day when someone discovers a way to kill these things. Buit as far as I know they are the only thing that could survive a nuclear blast. Be bugs and twinkies.

I've been getting these mosquito like bug bites for a month now, and usually notice new ones when waking up in the morning. My first thought was bed bugs and was horrified. My room is pretty cluttered and disgusting so I ripped off all my bedding and washed everything, checked in boxes and everywhere it says to on the internet. Found absolutely nothing that looks like a bed bug. When I stripped all my bedding off there was a little, slow moving bug that I thought was a bed bug but after looking at pictures I noticed that it didn't look anything like it (plus I thought bed bugs moved really fast). It had short legs and a light coloured body. I found shedded skins of bugs around the room but nothing alive. I don't know where the crap they are! I even cut open my box spring to check in there but it was clean and clear. I'm moving in a month and a half and planned on throwing out my futon cushon and mattress anyways, whether they are bed bugs or not. Most of my clothes as well. I guess I'm just asking if anyone might know what these bugs might be. If maybe they ARE bed bugs of some kind? I have no idea... Any advice would be great. Hello, I’m confused!!!

Bed bugs are the king of human infesting bugs, If I had to choose I would want to trade my bed bugs for scabies, as they are easier to get rid of. Please try not to get bed bugs mixed up with Scabies, because Scabies needs a certain poison to rub on your skin to kill them, unlike bed bugs. But they both bite you just as much, and bites can resemble each others, so make sure of what you have, a trick to tell if its scabies, is to pour a little rubbing alcohol on the scab, and it will have a little reaction, like seep into the skin, like its hollow. Also Scabies like to go where you sweat, for example under the arms, in between your leg and private parts, and other fav places are between the fingers and toes, on the stomach, and always on and around the wrist. This is my first bed bug problem, I'am 24 with two kids, and I just suddenly got bit one day, and it looked like mosquito bites, Then the next night around 10.00pm, I went in the room to check on my baby, and noticed a lady bug on the blanket, I was like aaawwww, a lady bug, and I got up and turned on the light to go see it, and I screamed at the sight of it! aaahhhhh! eeewww! Thats not a lady bug!!!!???? I have never seen a more disgusting creature in all my life. I got some toilette paper and picked it up, I squeezed it good, Splat! eeewww! blood splattered the toilette paper in my hand! and the bug was still alive? it turned into a flat light brownish beetle like thing? so I flushed it hoping it would not grow gills and fins and swim back up the pipes. I was concerned about what I had found so I went on line and searched for it in images, as beetles that bite you in bed, and sure enough found bed bugs, I went hunting after that and found nothing, I called the super told him the story, and he called a exterminator the next day, I left with the kids, and stayed at my moms, after preparing for the infumigation, it happend the next day at around 12pm and I stayed away for a few days, then came back and cleaned every nook and cranny, and vacumed up the wazoo, did 20! loads of laundry, washed all the toys, and rearranged my whole apartment, the whole time the father of my kids, and his family, were saying I was crazy, and getting mad at me, for doing this after finding only one bug. They did not help at all, I did it all by myself. The super said they did not find anything, and still sprayed, so I thought it was all clear to get the kiddies and come back home. Its been about a week, and I have not had any bites, untill now. Iam freaking, since my little insident I have been having anxiety attacks over seeing a piece of fuzz from the corner of my eye, I feel like everything I see is a bed bug, and all my efforts to not get infested have failed. I feel itchy even when nothing is there. I just noticed three little red specs, two on my chest, on either side of the top of my breasts, and one on my neck, they are itchy, but they do not seem the same as before, they are not welts, there not puffy at all like they were before? and they are far apart, so can they be bed bug bites? or am I just paranoid? Also I would love to know where they came from? do I even stand a chance to get rid of them if someone else in my apartment building has them? or did they hitchhike here? I feel like running away, Iam sooo overwelmed!

I just moved in 5 days ago but I am very allergic to insect bites and stings so when they bit me the first time...I noticed. I have been staying here the past 3 days and have been bitten every night thereafter. I did not have this problem prior to moving in here so I am aware that these pests were left behind from the previous renter...thank you very much. My son seems to have my type of allergies, based on how he reacts to mosquito bites, and I have not seen any bites on him...thank God! I will be contacting my landlord on Monday to notify him of this issue. I hope I can keep my mattress because I spent a mint on it and cannot afford a new one. I'm hoping because it's a new problem I will be able to. We'll see. Just thought I'd share my troubles as well. The bites are in paths and look like mosquito bites, and itch ferociously. I have found that using cotton to swab vinegar on the bites relieves the itching and the bugs don't like to feed in those areas (they were feeding horribly on my ankles then they fed on my wrist and shoulder after I used the vinegar)....maybe I should just bathe in it...lol. I understand the frustration all of you are going through and hope your bedbug problems get eradicated as well as my own, good luck to all of you ;-) I have bedbugs as well.
