Hi, Im Lara.

I made this site to helppeople like you andme.

I myself used to have a major problem with bed bugs. After my landlord refused to do anything about it, I took matters into my own hands and after a year of trial and error and a thousand bed bug bites later, I finallygot completely rid of them!

First off, anyone can get bed bugs, so dont feel bad! Theres a stigma attached to getting bed bugs but the truth is bed bug infestations are increasing rapidly across all major U.S. cities and are being found in apartments, condos, country homes, hospitals, businesses, hotels, and even fancy mansions.

Hopefully I can get you some relief from bed bugsmuch quicker than I got mine and save youthe time, headaches and trouble. I had my niece who isin college help me build this website, shes pretty web savvy (unlike me!) so thanks Leticia for your help my dear

Feel free to read my whole story with bed bugsand reviewof all the good, the bad and just plain uglybed bug products on the market I went throughon this site, but I also want to just cut to the chase and tell you which one I picked as the best in case youre in a crunch for time.

Were all busy people here.

Naturally, like most people I first contacted a professional pest control company. When I personally checked into pesticide services for my apartment unit, no pesticide company wanted to guarantee their work and the prices were astronomical. Plus the more research I did, the more I learned that most modern day pesticides have no effect on bed bugs.

Bed Bugs have been relatively absent for the last 60 years in modern society, and are only recently making a resurgence mainly because modern day pest control has zero effectiveness on eradicating bed bugs. And on top of all this pesticides not being effective nonsense, there still carries the risk of potential health threats from toxic chemicals in the insecticides and pesticides themselves!

I cant have my baby King James playing on the floor along the baseboards getting his hands in some Orkin bullshit and then he put his hands in his mouth. F a whole lotta that! So what else was there besides pesticide and keeping a clean domicile?

Many times companies will actually bring down heaters or these heaters are sold online to kill bed bugs by overheating them and then they eventually die. The heat treatments themselves and the heat treatment unit sold online are prohibitively expensive. And again, they dont work to kill all the eggs and stop bed bugs from coming back.

All they did was waste my time and money. You probably know the feeling too if youve dealt with bed bugs before. Heres a list of what I tried:

Steam Cleaning I rented a steam cleaner thinking this would get rid of the bed bugs, but it only got rid of the ones I could see, and they still all came back. I did get a cleaner carpet, but thats about it.

Orkin Exterminators Aside from all the chemicals, the treatments expensive as in it can cost up to $1,000 for treatments and again, no spray in existence has been known to completely eradicate bed bugs. They hate it but they wont admit it either. Plus the chemicals can be dangerous to pets and people.

Dead Bed Bug Spray This product didnt do it for me, and apparently I wasnt the only one. Bed bug repellant insecticide sprays just dont work and all available literature supports this fact.

Hot Shot Bedbug and Flea Fog This product just proves why these in-home self foggers dont work, at all!

The ZappBugg Heater looks and sounds great until you realize its mostly for clothes and its over 200 bucks, and will not solve your home bed bug problem infestation.

The Bed Bug Barrier Mattress Cover is nothing more than a weak attempt to sell a bed cover marketed for preventing bed bugs. Most of the time the material rips and its cheap price is only surpassed by its cheap quality.

Ichecked outRiddex, a sonar device that emits a high-pitched sound that clears the interior walls of mice, roaches, spiders, and other pests. Ultimately though I found online this product does not work against bedbugs.

FabriClear is often touted as being the go-to bed bug killing spray. Only problem is, even the government admits that no spray will even put a dent in an infestation. It may kill a few bed bugs, but you have to stop them from nesting and proliferating.

I found a product called Bedroom Guardian that worked for me out of all the other things I tried, all of which you can read about below in my full review. I liked Bedroom Guardian because (in 2014) it had very high ratings with the Better Business Bureau, good reviews on Yelp and on Amazon as well. Their service was prompt, I received their product in less than 5 business days from all the way across the country, and the instructions were simple.

**UPDATE**

However now in 2017 Bedroom Guardian has a a grade of F with the Better Business Bureau,and you can read about it here.

This reviewI found on the webwas the deciding factor thatconvinced meto getit because it sounded just like my situation and by the time Icame acrossit I was running out of options and patience.It felt like this guyin Fort Collins Colorado on Yelpwas speaking directlyto me:

I have an active infestation in my apartment that I could not remove, even after spending over $1200 USD on an exterminator. At best the exterminator was able to mitigate the problem temporarily, but soon enough the bed bugs were back and biting. I suspect that the bed bugs originated from my neighbors.

Anyway I found out about Bedroom Guardian through Google and gave them a shot. Compared to an exterminator, the cost of the product is minimal. Before I ordered the product, I called the Bedroom Guardian customer service line, and was able to speak to an expert about my problem. I explained to her my situation, and she advised how many units I need and exactly where I need to place them to stop my bed bug problem.

I provided my credit card details to Bedroom Guardian, and about a week later my Bedroom Guardian kit arrived in the mail. Although the kit did come with detailed instructions, I wanted to call Bedroom Guardian back just to make sure I was doing everything right. A lady named Margarete answered the call and she held my hand throughout the entire process.

After about 4 weeks noticed a significant reduction in the number of bed bug bites. I also felt like I had a much better nights rest. After another 5 weeks my bed bug problem was eliminated completely.

Margarete did tell me that I needed to replace the Bedroom Guardian product every 60 days, and to ensure there is no gap, Bedroom Guardian normally does send a refill every 60 days as explained on the website.

The only thing that I wasnt too crazy about is that the refill costs double. However compared to an exterminator, its chump change as they say.

The product costs $9.95 USD and each refill costs $19.90 USD. I love the peace of mind that this product gives me!

Since that review was written the initial charge is still $9.95 (awesome) but themonthly refill price is $24.90 now which Im personally not thrilled about but I just cancelled the refills around the3 month point anywaybecause the problem was under control completely in 6 weeks.

I essentially got a complete and total bed bug eradication product (that actually worked)for under $60 spread across 3 months when it was all said and done. You cant get layaway that great at K Mart or Rent-a-Center.

I ultimately decided to giveBedroom Guardiana shot and the rest is history as they say, but later I found another solution which was a better deal in fact so if youre thinking about buying Bedroom Guardian yourself, youll want to read this:

Bedroom Guardian sends you a small amount of product for the price. Sure the price is cleverly split up per monthbut youre paying extra money per unit for shipping every month and its automatic recurring billing so your credit card is going to keep getting charged!

Now I know for a fact the product works because Ive used it, but still it was not fun having to deal with thenegative aspects mentioned above like having to call and wait on hold for an hour to cancel their automated billing,which is why I actually recommend a product called Defensive End!because of the overall value. Mainly because while the price seems only marginally higher up front, you get more effective product (with some left over) with a one-and-done transaction and price, with no hassle.

Also it has the fastest shipping of any online bed bug product so you can expect to get it in the mail in5 to 7 days usually which was kind of a surprise to me.Anyone whos ordered something off of Amazon.com knows what its like to unexpectedly wait 3 weeks for something simple and well priced. Im still waiting on my therapeutic Oregano Oil!

*update (the Oregano Oil never came and I had to cancel after waiting several weeks)*

The important thing is I found something that worked for me and saved me money while avoiding toxic chemicals, and I hope youll find something effective and affordable too that works for you.

But before I actuallygot rid of those damnbed bugs it was pretty bad.

To this day I can stillfeel the shivers down my spine just revisiting and thinking about those flat, reddish brown, wingless insects turning fat, swollen, and redder just asI became their next meal night after night. Horrible little pests feeding on blood that are able to survive without food for up to a year. Hiding. Lurking. Travelling between different apartment units like blood suckingnomads. Theyre active when you sleep and latch onto your luggage as well as belongings when you stay at a hotel. Even 5 star hotels get bed bug infestations. Its got nothing to do with being dirty or clean.

So if you believe your home is safe from bed bugs, you better think again. I found out the hard way firsthand how these little buggers can be brought into your home via yourself after travelling or visitors staying in your home. How it probably started for me was my little Kevin either picked them up from some kids at school or they came through the walls from a neighboring apartment unit. Some of the people around where I stay are just plain dirty (and crazy) and dont give a damn like they live in the woods.

For me the bed bug problem got out of hand quickly. See, I learned that bed bugs love to spread and multiply like rabbits in the wild so my whole unit was soon a giant hangout and nightly feeding frenzy for bed bugs, plus it took me months and several lost dollars before I finally found something that actually worked which was both safe and affordable. Hell it took me a month before I even realized they were bed bug bites. I thought they were mosquitoes or spiders in the beginning. We dont have pets so I knew it wasnt fleas but we did have carpet. Strangely enough the solution I eventually found also kills ants, cockroaches, spiders, fleas, millipedes, and centipedes. Ill explain more about why it works like that in a sec.

Bed bugs bite at night usually when people are asleep, so I wouldnt feel anything until I woke up and itched really bad. Id have red spots down my arms and legs and my babies would have spots all over their backs. I didnt even realize it could have been bed bugs until I saw something on the news about them. Then it clicked.

I will survive. I will survive. As long as I know how to stop bed bugs I know Ill stay alive.

I checked my bed and the kids beds for tiny, reddish spots in the bed linens, bed skirts, mattress seams, sheets, bed frame, and pillow cases. I flipped the mattresses over and inspected every nook, corner and crevice I could find.

I started washing my bedding using the hottest temperatures allowed for the fabric. Sorry high-thread count Egyptian sheets, but them bed bugs got to go.

I would remove any clutter throughout the bedroom and house and make the kids clean up after themselves.

I inspected my entire home regularly, especially as soon as I had visitors overnight (once they left, I didnt actually inspect their belongings but cant say I didnt think about it!).

If I stayed in a hotel, family member or friends house I would keep my luggage far away from any dark potential bed bug hiding places. I would also check the kids backpacks and clothes for any possible bed bugs or stragglers.

I stopped collecting 2nd hand furniture. It simply wasnt worth the risk. I got my babies to think about and thats the easiest way to get bed bugs is in somebodys old sofa.

Even after these precautions, the bed bug problems persisted. So after many hours of research and sleepless nights of bed bug bites on me and my babies, I started to look for a bedbug repellant since my landlord that shit-for-brains wouldnt do anything about the problem. Oh but he can raise the rent every year!

What Bed Bugs are Attracted To

Bed bugs are attracted to 2 things: heat and CO2. Thats why they come out to feed at night, because youre a warm body in a bed breathing out a lot of warm carbon dioxide air At least I am.

All of a sudden I hit a turning point in my search to get rid of bed bugs.

It was like aswitch flipped on in my head. I knew there had to be something out there that could help even if I hadnt found it yet. I decided it had to be a natural bed bug repellent that actually worked, was 100% safe and not harmful to my kids who play on the floor, and it couldnt break the bank. I still have to get my niece something nice for her birthday coming up but I got to get this bed bug problem under control too.

After going through all the typical bed bug solutions on the market with no success, one day, I finally found something! Okay sogetting rid of bed bugswasnt something that happenedovernight, it was over the course of about 5 weeks for them to completely go away, but away they indeed went. And I noticed positive changes within the first couple of weeks. So what happened?

So glad to be rid of these nasty things

I found Bedroom Guardian by accident. The same way I found the bed bugs coincidentally. What I learned from the Bedroom Guardian website made sense to me and it seemed like a pretty low risk deal, so I decided to give it a shot.

I got it in the mail in about 12 days, which is a pretty long time considering and waiting for it that long while getting continuously bitten by the bugs sucked. When it finally arrived, the instructions were easy enough to understand but I noticed they failed to list the ingredients, which is a little concerning. I found out later that the ingredients that make this product work contain diatoms which are essentially microscopic fossilized remains of plants and sea phytoplankton. They are harmless to humans (actually some people eat it to reduce parasites in the digestive system) and farmers put it in their crops to fight pests naturally.

How Bedroom Guardian Works

Thediatoms in Bedroom Guardian are harmless to the touch of a human but are actually razor sharp microscopic particles that cut into and stick tothe abdomens and exoskeletons of arthopods, the family of insectsbed bugs belong to (as well asfleas, cockroaches,ants, spiders, millipedes and scorpions). So the bugs encounter the diatoms in Bedroom Guardianand it gets stuck in their bodies causing them to dehydrate and die in a matter of a few days.

Its like bed bugs walking through a field of sharp jagged glass chards and them not being able to do anything about it. Theres no chemicals involved and other bed bugs will not even attempt that area again.

Pretty crazy that this could be so easy and involve no chemicals and not cost a hugebucket of change.BGs cost isnothing compared to the costs and ineffectiveness of the other products I had used with no success and paid out the ass for.

I noticed good things started to happen after a few weeks. The bites got less and less until about week 4 or 5 when I wasnt getting bit at all. When I ordered I got 2, 1 for me and one for my babies room.Pretty soon none of us were getting bit any more and we could sleep easy. I still had some issues with anxiety from the bites but thats going away. The important thing is I got rid of the bed bugs!!!

Bedroom Guardian tripped me out. I didnt think it could be that safe, easy, or just creative and unique.Its like the easiest and simplest way was sitting there right before my eyes the whole time and I finally caught a glimpse. Glad I did too!
