So , i've been having welts & bumps ever since jan . (i ignored it)
People & my mom thought it was ringworm in May ; (i ignored it)
We got sum meds ferr it , but more & more welts came back later throughout the months ; (i still ignored it)
Then she thought i was alergic to something in June ;
Now i found bugs on my bed (thinking they wernt bedbugs) .
Me & my dad vaccumed EVERYWHERE .
On my bed , inside the boxspring , the frame , the lines & cracks , & carpet .
Then i was still complaining abt getting bit.
Finally , me , my dad , & mom went to Home Depot , & Walmart to go get spray , alcohol , new covers & zip up bed cover .

(note that ive seen the eggs of the bugs & pictures ;
Im pretty sure someone had brung them over to my house & my in my bed)

Heres what we did before we went shopping @ HD & Walmart :
Vaccumed everywhere , even places unness.
Sprayed Alcohol ;
Sprayed Pesticide/Bug spray
Then vaccumed my sheets & covers ;
*that following night, i seen them on my covers agn*

So after we went shopping today , we repeated everything , this time , i vaccumed alot more inside the boxspring & soaked my bed in Alcohol , bugspray , & pesticide.
Then we took the bed cover (waterproof) , put it on , & zipped it up (that way nothing can enter , nor escape)
Then we took my matress & did the same thing .
I literally oversprayed everything and vaccumed up my carpet alot (:
I got brand new sheets .

All of a sudden , i wake up , turn on my light , & find about 7 of em on my pillow (i also bought pillow protectors)

Could it have been that they were hiding really good or escaped from the matress , or do i might still have bedbugs ?
Right now , i dont see any , the only ones i seen was on my pillows , but they're gone .
& just in case they're still around my house , how do i get rid of them , i tried spraying & spraying , butthe keep coming back .
(SORRY FERR THE LONG STORY , IM JUST TRYING TO GET AS MUCH HELP AS I NEED)
thankkYouu ^-^

One of the worst things that you can do when faced with a bed bug infestation is to try to self-treat. Over spraying pesticides and chemicals can not only make you ill, it can spread the infestation. It is best to leave the application of pesticides to a professional. Continue to vacuum and keep your home as clean and clutter free as possible, this will help in getting rid of the problem. Consider reading up on bed bugs, a few good sites include: www.bedbugger.com (forum for those with bedbugs), www.a3superior.com/blog.html (blog revolving mainly around bed bugs) and www.bedbugsite.com (educational site about bed bugs)

If you have any pets then they may be a carrier of the bed bugs. Now i would suggest thoroughly washing your clothes and your furniture.



btw i thought they were a myth O.o



they can also be inside your house. you might want to have a professional check your walls, or cielings, even your ducts.

Are they welts itchy? If so it may be not be bedbugs maybe lice. And on your pillow because they jumped from your head to pillow. Hope i helped.
