Treating Bedbug Bites

This is the thing people are usually most concerned about when they find out they've got bed bugs: how do they stop that itching, and are the bites dangerous?

First of all, it's important to know that not everybody reacts to the bites in the same way. A lot of people don't feel or notice them at all - you're bitten when you're asleep, and the bed bug will inject a chemical into the bite that stops the blood from clotting and keeps you from feeling it. Many people are allergic to this chemical - if you're itching, or seeing a reaction on your skin, then you're one of them. Most people's allergies are mild in the sense that they aren't dangerous. It's highly annoying, and your skin will itch like crazy, but it is extremely rare for anyone to have a serious health problem based on a bed bug bite (though there have been a few cases where people have gone into shock. Obviously, if you see something that seems like it's a more serious symptom than itching you need to see a doctor).

How do I know for sure that what's on my skin is a bed bug bite?

It's actually pretty hard to tell, because they can look like little bumps, a rash, or just reddish skin. There's nothing really distinctive about them, and many doctors misdiagnose them as some other skin condition. They're basically just an allergic reaction, so they could look like a lot of different skin conditions.

Here's one example of what they could look like - a bunch of little red welts (thanks to Martin for giving permission to use the photo):

Here's another one, this time thanks to Andrew. You can see in the picture below that the bites could easily be confused with a rash:

Great news do-it-yourself heat treatment Got Bed Bugs …

You download the 6MB pdf then see pages 64-74.

But to me this doesn't appear to be "easy to use, and do-it-yourself" and fully-developed for everyday use by non-technical people. The way it's presented seems to be showing something experimental because it says "First attempt at heat treatment"..."Never reached 113F"..."Second attempt at heat treatment"..."4 heaters blew circuit breakers"..."Final Setup for Heat Treatment"...and then shows a graph for a 2 hours and 20 minutes treatment where not all the components reached the necessary bug-lethal 113F, and then another graph where they did all reach 113F but the treatment time was more than 5 hours.

To me this doesn't look like a "well-beaten path" that's already been proven with large numbers of layperson adopters. It looks as though it might have promise, particularly for hotels, dormitories, and so on, but that a great deal of refinement is needed before if and when you and I can routinely use it in our own homes.

ERADICATOR 24 oz. Natural Bed Bug Dust Mite Treatment …

Posted on May 7, 2015 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

Rated 3.5 out of 5by 6 reviewers.

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0by GoodByeBedBugs No new bed bug bites or blood spots on my sheets! Since my family share chronic allergies to toxic chemicals and other household threats, we successfully used Enzymatic ERADICATOR for Bed Bugs & Dust Mites during an alarming bed bug outbreak, after a recent business trip to New York. My wife continues to spray with less frequency now for prevention. Before using Eradicator, I tried self-testing by spraying a spurt on my forearm with no reaction. Eradicator has no objectionable chemical odor to any of us and seems to not affect anyones allergies in our home. So far, no new bed bug bites or blood spots on my sheets in the morning!

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0by JEWELL THE BUG EXTERMINATOR I THINK THIS PRODUCT IS GREAT, I USE TO SPRAY MY BED WITH RAID AND THAT DID NOT ALWAYS WORK. BUT SINCE I SPRAYED THIS STUFF ON MY BED I HAVE NOT SEEN OR BEEN BITTEN BY ANY BUGS AT ALL. THIS STUFF IS THE BOMB! AND I WOULD RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE THAT HAS BED BUG PROBLEMS. September 27, 2011

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0by Mary1 doesn't smell bad Good product. better than the the raid products. This one doesn't smell bad. and so far is working. October 4, 2011

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0by Sean Not worth the money It does kill bed bugs on contact, but doesn't help to get rid of them. It seems to attract the in a way. It also has a strong vinegar like smell. There are better products out there that I have tried. Hot Shot has a good bed bug product that comes in a larger container and is much stronger and work also as a repelant. April 4, 2012

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0by dsch decent decent product. odor is not bad compared to others on the market. does the job when used as part of an eradication program. August 22, 2013

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0by moniker I find that this product doesn't work I had a pretty big infestation of the bed bugs and was hoping this would help keep them under control until I could get someone to give me a heat treatment. I could almost hear the bug laughing as they played in this spray. September 27, 2011
