You can do a much better job than exterminators. As an example, if bed bugs can crawl from your neighbors to your room and only you want to hire an exterminator, exterminators cant help you with any methods they know, but you can completely stop bed bug bites after 2 hours of easy effort. The video and attached texts describe how to build sticky barriers to protect top of bed, tables, chairs, clothes, and shoes. It stops bed bug bites immediately even for the worst case in which bed bugs continually crawl from your neighbors to your room. In other words, you solve the bed bug problem immediately because bed bugs cant bite and your daily effort to keep barrier function is negligible.

Traditional methods have extremely low efficiency. Chemicals kill bed bugs on contact. The residue is not active. Fogger bomb has been reported as useless. DE powder slowly kills bed bugs which bite and lay eggs before they die. Bugs lay eggs fast after meal. Those behind wall and under carpet are hard to find. The killing speed may be slower than the egg laying speed even though you wash, vacuum, and spray every day. The mattress encasement was developed from one of the worst ideas because a minor change on product design will seal all of bed bugs in a bedroom instead of sealing mattress only as shown in the video.

Why do experts never think about the sticky barrier method? The special sticky tape is patent pending; experts never had a chance to try. You can confirm this because ants can crawl on any well known double sided sticky tapes. To test how long bed bugs can live without food. I caught bed bugs into a glass bottle. The last one died in 3 months. Bed bugs may live one year at low temperatures without any activity. Bed dugs should die quickly at room temperatures if they actively crawl every night for seeking food when they can feel the smell of sleeping people.

As a conclusion, you can solve the bed bug problem by 2 hours of easy effort. Because even thousands of bed bugs in your room can't hurt you after you build sticky barriers, it is not important how many bugs will be trapped or how long the last bed bug will be starved. Many people have proved that barrier method works well when they sleep in a bathtub which is too slippery for bed bugs to crawl.

Bed bugs are small insects that feed on human blood. They are usually active at night when people are sleeping.

Adult bed bugs have flat, rusty-red colored oval bodies, no wings and are about the size of an apple seed. They are big enough to be easily seen, but hide in mattresses, box springs, bedding, cracks in furniture, floors, or walls. When bed bugs feed, they swell and become brighter red. They can live for several months to over a year without feeding. They don't jump or fly, and they crawl and move about the same speed as an ant.

Be aware that other insects, such as fleas, ticks, and mosquitos, can leave bites that look like bed bug bites. Bites alone cannot prove you have a bed bug infestation.

Important note: The only way to be sure you have a bed bug infestation is to find and positively identify a live bed bug.

If you suspect you have bed bugs, you will have to conduct a thorough search of your home. Bed bugs are hard to find because they hide in, under, and around beds. They also hide inside, under and behind furniture, and in small cracks or corners in furniture, floors or walls or in carpeting close to where they feed at night.

Newly hatched bed bugs are about the size of a poppy seed, pale yellow in color, almost transparent, and very difficult to see. Once they have fed, they become larger and are red or brown in color which makes them easier to see. Bed bug eggs are white and about the size of two grains of salt. When laid, they are cemented to surfaces making them difficult to remove.

A bed bug bite is painless and some people have no reaction to the bites at all. Most people have itchiness, red spots, or welts that look like mosquito or flea bites hours later. There may be an itchy bump but the tiny bite mark may not be visible. These usually fade after several days. A few people have severe allergic reactions.

Remember: Bites are only a clue that you may have bed bugs, but you can't tell from bites alone that you have a bed bug problem.

Bed bugs usually bite at night while you are asleep. If you wake up in the middle of the night and find a bug on your bed, don't squash it - instead, completely seal a live sample in a clean zip-style sandwich bag and have the bug identified by a pest control operator.

Bed bugs are not a result of poor housekeeping. Anyone can have bed bugs. People bring bed bugs into their homes unknowingly in infested luggage, backpacks, purses, furniture, bedding, shoes or clothing. They can also travel between apartments through cracks in walls and floors.

Summary: Bed bug bites can leave you with painful inflammation and since they love to hide in beds, you may be bitten a number of times before you wake up in the morning! If you have a severe allergic reaction its recommended that you seek professional medical assistance. Besides medical creams and pills, things like tea tree oil, baking soda and even lemon juice can also give you relief at minimal cost.

Since bed bugs can be found throughout the world, many people have suffered from their bites. Their primary diet is blood, which makes humans their meal of choice, definitely not good news for us! Based on personal experience, they can leave a rather nasty, red mark which can itch like mad. No wonder people say Goodnight and dont let the bed bugs bite!! What do these bites look like and what are some ways that you can get rid of them? This guide will answer these questions and teach you what to do if you are bitten by a bed bug.

In comparison to other insect bites, bed bug bite marks are usually in groups of three or more when they appear on the skin. This is sometimes called the breakfast, lunch and supper bites. As you can see in the picture below, the bites are rather close to each other. Their bites often look like little red bumps, pimples or even blisters and welts. Some people can also mistake them for flea bites. If one of these insects bite you, you usually wont even feel it as it uses a form of anesthetic which dulls the pain. Bed bugs also are known to leave bite marks in a straight line, also in close proximity to each other. A single bed bug can bite you a number of times during the night. However, if you have a bed bug infestation, there are usually a large number of these little pests and this can result in a multitude of bed bug bites which can pose a potential health risk. We will discuss this in more detail in a short while.

The biggest problem with these bites is that, depending on the persons skin and their tolerance to bacteria, their appearance is different on different types of people. For example, even doctors have trouble telling the difference between a bed bug bite and a couple of mosquito or spider bites. I have noticed in the past that if I get bitten by a mosquito, I get a rather large red mark (even without scratching), whereas my husbands skin hardly shows any signs of the bite. Likewise, if I get bitten by a bed bug, I usually get a rather bad rash which is extremely sensitive to touch while they are hardly visible on my husband. If your bites become very itchy, you need to resist the urge to scratch the affected area as this can make the problem worse and cause further inflammation, infection or even bleeding. According to the Center for Disease Control, bed bug bites can even cause insomnia due to the fear of being bitten. This can result in a lack of energy and dramatically increased anxiety levels.

Its important to note that bed bugs can easily be transferred from other locations (such as hotels, friends, etc.) into your bedroom, something your definitely want to avoid! Its important to always check your skin, clothing and bags for any signs of bed bugs (and their bites) before entering your bedroom after sleeping away from the home. If you have been bitten a couple times, there is usually no urgent need for medical care. In fact, there are a number of effective home remedies that you can use to treat these insect bites. However, sometimes medical assistance is required. When is this the case and how can you identify when professional help is needed?

Firstly, its important to remember that, despite their daily diet of blood, bed bugs will not transfer blood based diseases (such as AIDS, etc.). However, in very rare cases, these bites have been known to cause anaphylaxis, which is an adverse allergic reaction that covers the entire body in a rash. After being bitten by a bed bug, be alert for any of these potential complications:

While I understand that these reactions may have other causes, if you have just had a number of bed bug bites symptoms (listed above), I highly recommend contacting a doctor as you may be having an allergic reaction. However, the good news is that its rather rare so there is usually no need to worry yourself.

Lets have a look at few products you can use to alleviate the itchiness of these bites and ultimately get rid of them. However, before trying anything, something that you should do immediately is give the affected area a quick wash with water and a mild soap. This will ensure that any bacteria is killed and there wont be any potential infections.

There are also a number of natural bed bug bite treatments that have proven to be very effective. I personally love these! Here are a few that work well:
