No need to be concerned about bedbugs.

Taste the flames of Sulfur Ass!

If you know you’re going to hell you may as well try and get comfortable.
T
Yep I said that too. Accurate submission
G
Definitely fits the sub lol
E
Lit the thing on fire, springs make it fan itself inside out, etc. things burning from the inside out and crackhead found warmth.

Ikr 🤔
Y
Dracarys!

If you’ve ever lived through bed bugs, this is preferable.
P
Indeed…after we got rid of them, I slept with the lights on for 2 years!!!
F
Same!! Incredibly grateful I didn’t bring them with me when I moved but still traumatized, years later!

Are bedbugs an american/west thing ? I never known someone who had them in my country
T
I’m pretty sure they exist literally everywhere in the world except Antarctica. They are insanely hard to kill, can last way too long without anything to eat, and all it takes is one or two for them to come back in full force. I had to deal with them for years as I live in a lower income apartment. They’re the worst thing I have ever had to deal with. The worst part was when they would be gone for months to half a year, only for them to come back. We’ve finally been rid of them for a few years, but if I ever wake up with a bug bite I basically have PTSD flashbacks and spray everything with bedbug killer spray that I always keep stocked now. I hope you stay lucky and NEVER have to deal with them.
I
They used to be just a fairy tale, something parents said to their kids at night “don’t let the bed bugs bite” And we didn’t really know what they were talking about. But then international travel became much more accessible to people and they started bringing them into the country or US tourists brought them back. I used to love the idea of staying in a hotel, but now it just seems like a roll of the dice. All you have to do is get a couple near-microscopic eggs on your clothes and youve got an infestation on your hands. (Plus some people have terrible reactions to their bites, and get huge welts.)
I
Holy shit man, it actually sounds like a nightmare, I flip my bed if I see a cockroach let alone a fucking hive. do you have to exterminate and gas the whole house ? because you ain’t going to kill them fast enough before they multiply that’s for sure. Closest thing I got is maybe a few mosquitos
E
https://youtu.be/2JAOTJxYqh8 there’s ways to get rid of them, but they very much evolved to live in human houses and have actually bred resistance to most poisons. i would freak the frick OUT if i had them
T
also ddt was banned ddt was extremely effective against bedbugs and is largely the reason they vanished in the west alas we banned it before we exterminated them, and now I fear the chance is past
I
Banned for a good reason, unless you hate birds and the role they play in our natural world.
T
Not a “west thing”, I never experienced it through south america, I’m from here and been around
I
I’m from north africa and I don’t even think we have a name for them in arabic, maybe it’s because american houses have those hollow walls while we have brick and concrete ?
A
Could you get house centipedes brought in for a battle for remaining ones and peace of mind. 500 should work.
J
> house centipedes > peace of mind Pick one. I get that they’re friendly fellas who eat the bad things but I could not sleep knowing they’re around either.
S
You must’ve forgotten to leave a sacrifice for your house spirits.
J
How does the lights being on help
H
It makes it so you can’t sleep and everyone knows bed bugs only drain the blood of the asleep.
T
It doesn’t, but after you’ve had bedbugs you will stay paranoid for a very long time and having the lights on makes them easier to see.
V
They come out in the daylight if they sense food. Source: Stayed in a Hostel in London for about a month….. If I’m ever between places again, I’ll sleep in the park.
H
I have no idea how we didn’t get a complete infestation, but my sister found them one time in her room, so we just took everything in her room outside and marked that they had bedbugs so people wouldn’t take them, and just left them for a month. Killed all of them. This was in January in northern Alberta though, so it was decently cold enough to eliminate them.
U
I have absolutely no idea where it came from, I hadn’t been traveling or staying in a hotel or anything in remotely recent history, but one summer I started noticing the occasional what I assumed to be itchy mosquito bite on my side or hip for like a week. Was outside somewhat often so didn’t think too much of it since we do have mosquitos, and bedbug bites are supposed to be multiple in a pattern or track apparently. Then one night I was moving around in bed and brushed my side and felt what I thought was a scab or something. Felt weird so I turned the light on, annnd bedbug actively biting me. Flipped the fuck out and went nuclear on my bedroom. Threw the sheets/mattress cover/pillows away, got a bunch of the egg and BB killer spray and hosed every nook and cranny down, covered my floor in diatomaceous earth, moved bed to center of the room, put traps down next to my bed legs etc. Slept on a bare mattress with one small sheet and uncovered pillow for a month. No more bites. Returned things to normal gradually. No more bites. I think I got super lucky and maybe it was just one that hitchhiked from somewhere.
T
Hey, do you feel a strange tickle on your left hip *right now*?
U
Thankfully I did not get the PTSD heebies from that one incident. I’ve had ticks and chiggers and all plenty of times before so it wasn’t a whole lot different. Aside from the whole laying in my own bed rather than in the woods part.
T
Does anyone know if the ‘if you see one, there are more” rule of cockroaches and ants apply?
F
Bed bugs are truly a nightmare but they are more manageable than people claim unless your house is a sty and you have no willingness to take steps to address the bed bugs. Diatomaceous earth barriers are your friend.
T
Where do you put DE, and is this a preventative measure?
F
You could use it in a preventative way, like in baseboards. Will help against ants too. But I’m moreso referring to using it as the nuclear option after you have them. Because it won’t stop them from coming in, which is usually via you and your stuff. You’d want to create small moats of it around your bed legs and move the bed away from the wall so there’s no way for them to get in bed with you. That’s most of the battle right there. Wash and high heat dry your clothes and put them in plastic bins. If things don’t improve, take these measures on other soft furniture.
L
Amazon sells it. It’s not toxic to humans. Yeah I’d totally consider just blanking the floor with it if I had a serious bug problem like that. Turn the place into a sandy beach of DE. You can always vacuum it up with a shop vac later. And yes people DO use DE to prevent fleas, etc. Really not sure if it would totally prevent beg bugs if there was just a sprinkling of it though.
D
bed bugs are the reason I hate carpeting.
C
facts. i only had a lone bed bug and it left me paranoid for months!!!
N
This is fine
