Bed Bugs

[Anonymous No.1337280]

I have a bed bug infestation. How do I exterminate these fuckers without dropping a couple grand on pest control?

[Anonymous No.1337296]

If it's cold outside, shut off the heat and open all the windows, the tempature shock will kill most of them. Wash all your clothes with super hot water and some crazy shit like mr. clean. Vacuum and bleach the floors. Buy borax powder (laundry section). lay lines all along the walls and sweep it into the baseboards or blow it in the cracks with a straw.

Throw out your mattress.

Keep the house cold and mr. cleaned up for several days. Wash with turpentine a couple times.

Mr. clean contans sodium hydroxide which should kill anything if it's concentrated enough.

pros do it with heat, so towards that end you would find the cheapest space heater rental with the cheapest source of energy.

[Anonymous No.1337326]

throw out mattresses and couches get 4 4x8 sheets of thick foam insulation and a good space heater build a box with the heater venting into it put anything you would like to keep in the box and cook it for several hours bag up the cooked stuff dont mix it with the uncooked take the stuff you managed to save and then burn your fucking house down!!

All of these are wrong you have to drop 20 bucks on a gallon of bed bug killa then cover every inch of infeated area. Then all your clothes have to go in the dryer. I had bbs and i now have nightmares if them...

I've had these disgusting creatures for like a year.
Wash all your clothes, bed sheets etc.. and then put them in the dryer.
They don't like the cold, keep your windows open as much as possible.
Cover all the gaps between the baseboards and the floor/wall they like to hide and lay eggs there. I did it with duct tape because i didn't have anything else, but it worked.
Throw out your mattresses.
Clean your floors, especially the corners.

Don't listen to that garbage, it's a way to get rid of them for a while, yes. But they'll be back. Let me give you a little run down on how bedbugs started to come back and infect a large portion of households throughout the United States. DDT was made illegal because of birth defects and shit. I've helped my in-laws to get rid of bedbugs and I can tell you there is only one fucking thing that works that is not banned. EVERYTHING else will not help you in the long run or they'll run your bills sky high.

There is a product out there that's called BotaniGard. They use it in green houses to kill caterpillars and shit like that. It has a natural occurring fungi that is called Beauveria bassiana. BotaniGard is the only site that sells the good shit. You wanna buy BotaniGard 22wp, it's the powder but the other is a liquid, same price, has to be refrigerated, and only a quart. The powder on the other hand can make you about 16 gallons. Just DO NOT inhale it. The powder contains petroleum distillate and will give you pneumonia.

Now note that this stuff is not toxic after application. The most it can do is give you allergies or pneumonia but this is only during the application period of 4 hours. Basically mix a 1/8 cup ratio with a gallon of water (but before anything put on a air filtration mask or one of those medical masks & some gloves), put it in one of those lawn spray cans, lightly applicate or douse the room (either way you gotta wait 4 hours before entering the room again), and lastly wait 8 days to reapplicate and they will be gone on the 14th day from the first day. It takes a while but only because its fungus.

It's not harmful to kids, adults, pets, or plants.
Not airborne (after the period).

heat em freeze em or scratch them to death

suffocation is also a option

you could throw out every thing you own and set the place and yourself on fire

for those of use that don't have that option GO AND BUY DIATOMACEOUS EARTH !

Mattress covers are available and work even cheaper is to wrap it in plastic sheet after nuking it with powder after a while they will all be dead

if it's hot enough or cold enough you can use your car as a treatment compartment or put stuff outside if it won't get stolen

hot car works best because it easily get up to temp , do this for at least 24hr then use trash bags to hold "clean" stuff in

yeah if you have the money just get pro heat treat done or take em out one little fucker at a time

and it will take time

focus on keeping sane first that's why you start with having a place to sleep and clothes that are ok

BENEDRYL helps with the itching and sleeping

I could go on but whatever

oh shit forgot to mention to vacum a lot and don't breath the dust from the powder

Diatomaceous earth isn't as grand as you think. First of all he's going to have to have powder all across his room that isn't going to do anything except make a mess. Diatomaceous earth only dries them out, while as you still have bed bugs in the box spring, bed lining, and even if you make a border around your bed after getting a completely new mattress, they can still climb on the walls and ceilings to get to your bed.

Get this along with a bulb applicator/blower.

1. Unscrew outlets covers and pump DE in each corner, put covers back on.
2. Pump along the (under)baseboards at 45degree angle (from he wall) every 12"
3. Pump in any and all crevices along every wall
4. Pump in and around vents
5. Place mattresses and box springs in full zipper enclosures. Pump the shit out of them and leave them sealed.
6. Place all linens, clothing, anything washable in garbage bags and seal them at the top with zipties/ducktape (a couple of pumps of DE won't hurt before sealing)
7. Pump DE under and inside all furniture, hitting corners especially
8. Close all windows. Pump EVERYFUCKINGWHERE, even behind picture frames on walls. Get a huge dusty mess in the rooms.
9. If your furniture is heavily infested (like under couch and inside/under seat cushion) best to chuck it. Same if bed and box spring is bad.
10. If you have carpet, best to just chuck it.
11. Leave stand for 24 hours.
12. Return and pump DE like a mad man again. Leave stand for 24 hours.
13. Go to laundry and wash all your shit in HOT water. Dry in HIGH heat. DISCARD THOSE GARBAGE BAGS.
14. While at laundry go to Walmart and buy more garbage bags, and a few Hot Shot No-Pest Strips. Place one inside your vehicle. Pump DE inside your vehicle, on the floors, inside the seats, in crevices etc. Drive with the windows open.
15. Return to laundry and fold your clothes(we're not animals) inspecting every article
16. Place them in new garbage bags and seal with tip ties& ducktape, these will remain in your treated vehicle for a time.
17. The more you leave the dust in apartment, them better, you will kill just about every living insect in the apartment.
18. Remove all existing furniture outside. Install new carpet if desired (LEAVE THE DUST UNDERNEATH- DO NOT VACUUM YET)
19. Clean furniture outside (vaccum) then treat with pesticide that kills Bed Bugs & Fleas (Enforcer is good brand and effective) - soak them good, let dry

[Anonymous No.1339380]

>>1339378
cont'd

20. CHANGE YOUR CLOTHES, throw them out, burn them or bag them and seal with some DE and zipties, leave outside
21, Return furniture to apartment
22. After they dry, spray those fuckers again and let dry.
23. You can vaccum now if you like, but make sure to avoid the baseboards and outlets. If you have to treat them again in the manner I described above. Bed Bugs usually retreat to walls after feeding, they can crawl up walls along insulation and surrounding apartments. The borders of DE will ensure that any traveling BB will die. Think long term.
24. After sufficient time, bring your clothes in and place wear they need to be.
25. If keeping mattress/bedspring, leave them inside the treated sealed cover
26.Contiue to treat your furniture and surrounding area with the pesticide (like Enforcer) once a day, for a couple days. Then once a week, then once a month

If treating for fleas, do as above but leave the DE dust treatment inside apartment for 20 days (fleas have a 17 day life cycle) - I would return after about 20 days and retreat with DE dust like a mad man, and let stand for a another week or so. Vaccuum then spray Enforce like a madman, wet everything, let dry. Retreat let dry, retreat let dry. Get a couple layers in there of pesticide. Bring your furniture and Leave a couple of the Hot Shot No Pest strips, one in each room standing on the floor. Treat every day in every corner before you leave the house. Do this for another 17 days.

If infestation is still there, burn the fucking house down. If your tenant is responsible for the Bed Bugs or Fleas, murder them.

Get it hot in there, space heaters and propane heaters, whatever. Make it like short of melting the plastic hot for however long. Bed bug infestations are a problem in this region which is a big part of why I don't go to theaters. I was told the above by someone who paid a professional to fix their problem. That's what the did, I think they also plastic wrapped the mattress and curtains and threw them out. I know pest control guys will put a clothes dryer in their garage and strip down before going inside, throwing all their clothes in that dryer because the hot air kills all the insects.

Rent or buy steam cleaner steam clean the fuck out of everything. All clothes in trash bags wash and dry using high heat. Mattress covers. Buy Deatamacious Earth and sprinkle lightly around perimeter and under furniture. Get an insecticide (I recommend Suspend) with pyrethrum. treat carpet, sides of matress, around outlets, just go nuts. Finally fog house with (pic related) and go watch a movie, eat dinner, go home and air out the house. It’ll be safe, but will smell weird. It’ll cost around 130$, but you’ll get enough to do multiple treatments if needed.

buy a big jug of odoban cleaner from home depot.
dilute it in water and put it in a spray bottle. cover all of your fucking carpets in it. get one of those plastic bags that cover your mattress, put that on. wash ALL of your bedding, pillows, and clothes with HIGH heat. if it is cold outside. open all your windows and make it extremely cold inside for a day.
you probably have them in your car too, if you have one. so be sure to either set off a bug bomb. or spray odoban all over all the fabric in it. if it is really bad, you should honestly cut your losses and throw out your bed, couches, chairs. any fabric that skin touches.
I once had roommates and the stupid fucks had bedbugs. and the dumb fat ass couldn't figure out why he kept getting them over and over after getting expensive exterminators. then I saw that his car was full of trash,roaches, and the driver seat was completely infested with bedbugs. dumb mother fucker couldn't figure out why he kept getting them.

>>1341590
Well, the farmers fucked things up, but DDT was bad for humans too.

Many, many insecticides kill bedbugs - as long as they haven't developed resistance to them and the chemicals are used properly. DDT isn't exception to this. At this point the specific resistance to DDT is largely gone, but resistances to some other insecticides give protection against DDT too.

[Anonymous No.1342060]

>>1338505
They also hide in the couches, so you gotta do this pretty much everywhere, or start sitting on hard benches and chairs. Then you gotta systematically rip everything apart and destroy as many as you can to bring their numbers down, and even then you still gotta wait a year and half until you can be absolutely sure the last of them have been starved out, and if you live in an apt, you can pretty much forget about that ever happening.

India and a bunch of African countries still use DDT on and off. Interestingly, even USA haven't banned it for malaria control and similar uses.

>>1342967
You can make a similar moronic statement about asbestos too.
The lethal dose of DDT is smaller than with methanol, but that's not really a problem. The delayed effects are the problem, and even those aren't nowhere near bad enough to prevent Africans etc. from using it. They are considered bad enough in civilized countries, though, since there's no such desperate need for insect control.

Bedbugs do not care if it is dirty or clean. They do not care how much you vacuum your floors. They give only a vague preference towards people who do their laundry less often (especially if they don't use hit water or Hugh heat in the dryer).
Bedbugs can get anyone.

The difference comes in at the point people catch infestations. The earlier the better. If you let it go for a year then you will pretty much garuntee you will lose furniture and need professional help. If you catch it in the first month and have a plan, and are willing to adjust your lifestyle (i.e live in a room covered in DE) for several months, then it can be a relatively simple /diy/ fix. Once the fuckers start hiding outside of your sleeping place, then it gets to be challenging for a normal person. Before that, it is a simple matter of regularly treating the affected area.

dude said the only way was
he filled spray bottles with rubbing alcohol and explained:
Everything was laboratory clean
you need to spray isopropyl in every literal corner on the house
the idea is the bugs crawl through these paths.
he held this method over CO2
he agreed it sucked, but if corners(sounds like a bitttttch) are sprayed for 2 months the bed bugs are out.
CO2 they may still survive because they get deep into walls through outlets,
the rubbing alcohol cuts their paths off an after 2 months they bounce or die out.
ps you can thank exterminator companies for spreading shit around like tire repair guys throw nails in the street etc

I had these little niggers last year. They're gone now, but it was a fucking struggle.

1. Throw out your bed. It is lost. Throw out all pillows as well. 70% of bedbugs live in the bed and 30% live around the room, so you've immediately put a dent in their numbers.
2. Sleep on the floor and murder as many bugs as you can when you inevitably wake up in the middle of the night. Use only a light blanket so you can see the bugs.
3. Every piece of fabric you own goes in the dryer on high, and is then moved to an off site location. (Your car for example) You should only have the clothes you're wearing and your pox blanket.
4. Treat your home like a quarantine zone. The car trick is useful for removing objects from your residence. Bugs die at 140F, so placing an object in a plastic bag in a hot car for a few hours will fry them.
5. Cold is NOT EFFECTIVE against bed bugs. They can do that bug-hibernation thing, you've gotta get it absurdly cold for them to die and not just slow down.
6. Heat treatment, spray treatment, and Ditomaceous Earth. Get an exterminator to do a heat treatment to your house. Have that same exterminator do follow up inspections with spray. They isually come back to check every two weeks until no bugs are found. Lastly, sprinkle DE on every floor in your home and some of the walls too. Leave it there for a while.

>DO NOT Use a spray treatment on your bed. Spray generally only kills on direct contact, so you'll just make the bugs uncomfortable enough to leave and spread thenselves around your house.
>DO NOT let an exterminator see any evidence of "diy"ing the infestation, as many have guarantees that are waived if you use diy products.
>DO NOT take this lightly. You're basically a leper now, and getting cured is not easy. Don't put other people at risk.

I finally destroyed an infestation of the little shits years ago at my grandmother's house by dragging her mattress and boxsprings into her walk-in closet and sitting in there with an electric space heater, a thermometer, and a vial full of the live buggers I'd managed to pick out.

Turned up the heater and waited in there watching the vial, eventually well after I've broken a sweat the bed bugs in the vial start freaking out and trying to crawl around, soon they start spazzing out and pushing out eggs, then finally they stop moving. I kept going with the heat for another thirty minutes after that. Kept a fire extinguisher outside the closet and made sure to stay well hydrated just in-case.

After the heat treatment I powdered the nearby carpets and baseboard with diatomaceous powder and set up little tin cans (like tuna fish cans) under the bed frame legs with a spoon full of olive oil in the cans. Just to be sure any survivors in the room itself couldn't make their way back to her bed.

Bedbug mating habits are really something else.

> North Carolina State University found that bedbugs in contrast to most other insects tolerate incest and are able to genetically withstand the effects of inbreeding quite well.[33] Male bed bugs sometimes attempt to mate with other males and pierce their abdomens.[34] This behaviour occurs because sexual attraction in bed bugs is based primarily on size, and males mount any freshly fed partner regardless of sex.[35]

All bed bugs mate by traumatic insemination.[4][36] Female bed bugs possess a reproductive tract that functions during oviposition, but the male does not use this tract for sperm insemination.[4] Instead, the male pierces the female's abdomen with his hypodermic penis and ejaculates into the body cavity. In all bed bug species except Primicimex cavernis, sperm are injected into the mesospermalege,[4] a component of the spermalege,[4] a secondary genital structure that reduces the wounding and immunological costs of traumatic insemination.[37][38][39] Injected sperm travel via the haemolymph (blood) to sperm storage structures called seminal conceptacles, with fertilisation eventually taking place at the ovaries.[38]

The "bed bug alarm pheromone" consists of (E)-2-octenal and (E)-2-hexenal. It is released when a bed bug is disturbed, as during an attack by a predator. A 2009 study demonstrated the alarm pheromone is also released by male bed bugs to repel other males that attempt to mate with them.[39][40]

Cimex lectularius and C. hemipterus mate with each other given the opportunity, but the eggs then produced are usually sterile. In a 1988 study, one of 479 eggs was fertile and resulted in a hybrid, Cimex hemipterus × lectularius.

Yes it was a nightmare. I was in constant fear of getting them. any time I ever felt an itch or tingle in bed I thought it was a bedbug. drove me fucking nuts. could never sit on any furniture that wasn't in my room.
Yes I ended up moving out shortly after.
I wish I could have burned that fat piece of shits car down to the ground. absolutely fucking disgusting. this guy wouldn't shower for weeks at a time and always smelled like sweaty balls. his car was literally INFESTED. a friend and I were once in the driveway making fun of how dirty his car was and we shined a phone light into the window and saw that the driver seat had what seemed like hundreds of bedbugs and roaches crawling all over it. My poor friend got drunk and passed out on the living room couch which I refused to ever sit on. and he woke up and his entire right arm was swollen and covered in bedbug bites. he stripped down and threw all his clothes in the garbage and went out to his truck in his undies.

if your bed has one of those metal frames on the bottom, put plastic bowls under each leg (be gentle when getting on/off the bed) and pull the bed away from any walls. they won't be able to get to you.


if your bed has a wooden frame they can infest that though. mine has a metal frame under the boxspring. I sprayed the boxspring down with rubbing alcohol and the mattress too. if I sit on the bed with my feet on the ground I will get eaten up, but they can't get to my bed so I can sleep at least

I've used this stuff before and it works like a charm. I will say though, when I used it I think I got some on my sheets because I would get itchy after getting into bed at night, but after I washed the sheets the problem went away. Spray this stuff on the frame and legs of your bed, around the perimeter of the room, in any nooks and crannies the bugs may be hiding, etc. It's expensive but worth it in the long run.

so bed bugs are literally my worst nightmare and I actually saved a leddit post from a while back just in case.

>Edit: DISCLAIMER - you have to do this immediately upon discovering you have bedbugs. Things only get out of hand when people put it off until the next day. When they feed they breed, and they lay 8 (?) eggs at a time. The baby ones feed on you too, and develop quickly so you can see how things will get out of hand.

>Unless someone is pulling the world’s most horrific prank on you, when you start out there is probably only one bedbug there. Worse case scenario is that it is an already pregnant female. So you begin by taking all your bedding and basically cooking it, and then very methodically wiping/spraying down every inch of your bed and mattress with rubbing alcohol. Get diatomaceous earth and put that in any cracks in the bed frame that you can’t reach.

>Bedbugs are basically very well designed machines with a very predictable program. So if your bedbugs aren’t in your bed, they they are absolutely going to come out of hiding when you are sleeping every 2-3 days to feed. So to that end you make yourself the bait (they hate light and are drawn to the carbon dioxide you produce when you breath), and any avenue on to your bed into a trap. All you need to do to ensure this happens is either surround your bed frame/legs of your bed with diatomaceous earth, or simply double sided tape.

>They don’t go after pets. They can’t problem solve. You’ll hear that they climb up walls and drop on to people, but this is either something that was observed in a lab or bullshit. Either way they’re just bugs. Eventually they will hit the trap because the only thing they know how to do is go straight towards the carbon dioxide. They can’t climb glossy surfaces, and they aren’t very strong (though they are very hard to smash).

>Most of the stress with bedbugs is the whole “where are they? How many are there?” panic that sets in. So if you behave logically and don’t start tearing apart your home it’s no worse than having a particularly vicious mosquito in your room for a week or two.

>If you are crafty you can also build a trap with a live yeast culture (to produce carbon dioxide) and double sided tape, diatomaceous earth, or a little tray of mineral oil for them to fall in to. Then you can make your room dark when you’re at work and they’ll go for that during the day.

I did this a couple years ago. It does work... eventually. I spread diatomaceous earth around the bed, in the frames, on the mattress, every crease and crevice I could. And I wouldn't get bitten, it was a good ring of protection. However whenever I changed the sheets and didn't spread anymore thinking it was safe because they all should have been baited and killed, I got bitten. This happened everytime I changed the sheets. In the end it was only after about 7 months that I was able to sleep directly on the bed with no diatomaceous earth around and not get bitten.

[Anonymous No.1356457]

Had the problem a couple years back. I forget the exact setup, but you make these CO2 traps with bottles and yeast, with a straw so it points the CO2 down. its how bedbugs find hosts, they sense CO2 levels.

you put these traps near the infested area, in a tupperware filled with talc powder/baby powder. with tape going from the floor to the tupperware.

The bedbugs sense the CO2, climb up and in, get covered in talc, and are too slippery to climb out.

putting tupperware and talc around bed legs helps too, but depends how infested the bed frame is. Also replacing matresses and covering with bedbug-proof bedcovers is recommended. hope that helps.

dude, don't bother messing your place up with that DE.
I can tell you what worked for me for ridding of BB's.
After 1 year of hell, say thanks, brah:

Go on amazon, order 2 cans of Phantom, and Transport GHP. Transport comes in dissolvable packets that you can drop in a gallon of water, mix, load that shit into a spray bottle and do along all your walls, bedframe, flip the bed over, etc. Most bugs will be dead by day 3. Read the labels.

Dude, I spent over 1 hundred bucks on DE, tried importing miracle chalk(deltamethrin) from china, methyl hydrate(home hardware's commercial way of saying methanol), boric acid, I would get into fights with my folks because no one fucking believed me even when I bitched and moaned and I did all my research to confirm I had BB's. Not even the inspector believed me and thought I was crazy after like 40 minutes of searching. Then their special dog that I paid 190 to be brought in found a HUGE FLAT ROUND fucking BB hiding in the curtain next to my bed. That was the first time I've seen one after reading about them so much and obsessively watching YT vids to find out what they look like. Paid about 700 cash for chemical extermination. Still kept getting fucking bit, more arguing with my folks about this whole "made-up BB problem". My folks would tell me that I just have a skin problem, but honest, I started getting fucking pissed, been sciencing all my life, and they would still tell me it's just another stage of puberty in adulthood blabla. I know my body better than anyone, and I'm generally hairless and never had zits on the body my whole life. After reading, I found out these fuckers can live over a year without food and start fucking you up over and over, and all of the legal OTC cans sold here in Canada are scams; pyrethroids that BBs are highly resistant to and have 0 residual effectiveness(they have a half life of 4 hours out of the can WTF). Luckily we can import any pesticide below 470mL or 16fl. oz for personal use.

>>1365590
legit, I did all my research and Transport GHP is the only shit rated with highest kill rate https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4808785/
I bought Phantom(Phantom II is just the same thing but less odor, but vendors will ship you II regardless since the first one is discontinued) as a second way of killing BB's since you should never only rely on 1 insecticide they can potentially develop a tolerance too. I paid about 34 dollars per can of phantom, and almost 170 with shipping for Transport GHP, fucking worth it. Plus, you'll be left with a lot of leftover plus the 23 remaining packs you can give to friends or keep for future use.
lol rely on that stupid "natural remedy DIY" shit if you wanna keep getting fucking bit. I looked up a lot of studies and experiments with DE, and other shit but desu I don't have that kinda time to wait and get bit. Also, fuck so-called "professionals exterminators", it's a big business for them. They dispatch independent licensed PCOs that call back to get a quote to get a mad fuckin cut of profit. Their guarantee is "we'll come back in 2 weeks and treat where I think they could be, peace fucktard, thanks for the cash". After that, you're on your fucking own again after paying them that much to use not even a quarter can of spray and like 10 minutes of suspended concentrate spray that probably cost them like 5 bucks for the treatment. The shittiest part is that a lot of these pesticides are manufactured in Canada (BASF, Bayer Inc) yet they're controlled substances that we can't even fucking buy or sell here like WTF bro

I picked the two insecticides cuz they both hit pyrethroid resistant BBs fucking hard, and also, they have a residual killing of over 30 days, and 90 for Transport. If you look at the ncbi study link, you'll see that the latter has a high mortality rate, outperforming on porous surfaces such as fabric.
and also, I'm guilty of buying those climbup interceptors, costed me like 70 bucks, and a white waterproof mattress encasement for 20 bucks, but I can confirm they are fucking scams. Never seen a shit stain, still got bit even with encasing so I figured they were hiding in the wooden bedframe, and I never caught a single BB in the cups, except for maybe a silverfish, a black ant, 2-3 carpet beetles, 2 dead millipedes because of the insecticides. I always threw my old clothes in the bathtub since baths are for chicks and have found maybe 2 transparent nymphs so small that I can't even be sure they're bedbugs. I thought of introducing predators such as centipedes, and cockroaches, but that's fucking retarded and this is a newly constructed home, no way in hell I'll be bringing in any fucking roaches. I already kill the big black fucking spiders at home because I don't know how deadly it is to have them around. And holy shit, I would always plan my outings 40minutes ahead so I can throw my clean set of clothes in the dryer in case so I don't infect my friends.
