I have so many bug bites on my legs and ankles, like I have at least 20 all together. They itch sooo bad, then I itch to much and I leave scars. I always wake up and find at least 1 new bite. R they bed bugs or what? its like everywhere - moms room myn, couch, everywhere. I could probably sleep on the table and get a bug bite. We have a dog and we have been keeping her in bcuz Its been to hot. But now she stays outside. And I was sitting on my bed and I swear to god I saw a black bug it was tiny, and I tried to get it off my leg and It went in my leg, like into a bug bite? I couldn't get it off in time. That's kinda scary.

REVOLUTIONARY BREAKTHROUGH IN BED BUG TEST

Testing conducted by Rutgers University

Monday August 17 2009 @ 01:16 PM

Cedar Oil is advertised as a safe, effective insecticide for controlling a variety of public health pests including Bed Bugs. Bed Bug Central and Rutgers University have partnered to put a variety of Bed Bug products to the test. Cedar oil is the first in the series. “Best Yet” Cedar oil was chosen due to the claims being made by the manufacture, to the public for use in controlling bed bugs.

Bed Bug Central funded Rutgers University’s, Dr. Changlu Wang to conduct research that examined the effectiveness of “Best Yet” cedar oil. The research examined the effectiveness of the cedar oil product on both bugs and eggs that were treated directly with the product as well as the residual effectiveness of the product once dry. This is a brief summary of the research findings.

The product tested was, “Best Yet” cedar oil. “Best Yet” is a category 25b EPA exempt product that contains 10% cedar oil and 90% latex. The bed bugs used in this research were from a field collected strain.

Direct Spray on Bed Bugs and Eggs.

The direct spray of “Best Yet” caused immediate immobilization of the bed bug nymphs, followed by 100% mortality within 1 minute of the topical application. In addition to being 100% effective on bugs directly treated with the product, it also proved to be effective against eggs that were directly treated. None of the 61 treated eggs hatched after 17 days compared to 75% egg hatch in a non-treated control group

The Results showed that “Best Yet” is highly effective against bed bugs including eggs when applied directly.

actually it could be because i watched a programme on discovery channel about insects animals etc. and it bought up a small black insect which enters peoples skin whilst they're asleep by detecting CO2. make sure there aren't any black or redyblack stains on your bed sheet , if there is then there's a possibily it could be the insects im talking about and they can lead to alot of difficulties in your body, im not sure why they enter the house.



but if you living in a place like the UK (which im living in) theres no need to worry because we dont have those types of insects there only in n. america, s.america, africa and parts of asia.



but im not 100% sure dont get too worried

It could be fleas. They are tiny black insects.



Get an exterminator to determine if it's a flea infestation.
