Bedbugs

Yes, if the bed is in an area infected with bedbugs you can and most likely will be bitten by bedbugs. You could also end up infecting your own home if they lay eggs on your clothing or if one hitches a ride with you when you go home.

they hoard just like any other insect. and they live on your bed, with you and about hundreds/thousands more. so no, they don't live alone.

Use isoproyl 99% you can get it at walmart attach a spray head most other house hold cleaner sprayer heads screw right on. Generously spray all cracks in your wood funiture soak it good only works if you can get direct contact with them also dust your carpets with diatomaceous earth and fill a rose and plant duster with the powder and pump away everwhere not harmfull to pets or humans but dries up the little buggers...hehe...this also can be found at ace hardware style stores or online. Leave it in your carpet for a good week! Wash all your clothes that are in dressers this is a good time to spray those cracks and seems where the wood comes together. Last but not least use this bug bomb called hot shot and you can buy the spray of the same name. Bug bomb again 12 days later. That will be when all the left over eggs have hatched and are in stage one looking for their first blood meal. Remove pets and humans when bug bombing, read can for time duration. This whole series of applications is the only way we got rid of ours...

I would not suggest using any foggers or bed bug bombs as this will only make them spread. A proper treatment for bed bugs is broken down into contacts, residuals and powders. Unfortunately there is no silver bullet for bed bugs. Using alcohol by itself is just a contact killer, which will not continue to kill once dry. Multiple treatments are needed as the first treatment will likely not kill everything including the eggs.

i think so doesnt it kill just about every thing?

no

It depends. If you have a major infestation in your bed or nearby they will reproduce and multiply extremely quickly, the more adult bedbugs there are the faster will they multiply which is why the sooner you take action to get rid of the infestation the better for you. But in the very early stages there will be no reproduction. To explain this you need to understand bedbug nymphs can not lay eggs nor reproduce. So after you get your first bedbug eggs hatching in your home, (most likely as a result of bedbug eggs being laid inside your luggage somewhere where you stayed when you were on holiday after you unpack very probably without seeing the tiny eggs in the luggage which will be stuck to a hard surface out of sight in a crevice inside the holdall or suitcase a few days after you get home the eggs will first hatch. Each bedbug egg wherever it hatches in or near a home produces a bedbug nymph in its first or smallest stage. After hatching the newly born nymph will be able to detect the breath of any person or persons asleep even50 meters or more from where it hatches. So it will instinctively crawl and climb towards the source of that because it already knows that is a source of food. When it finds your sleeping place it will climb up or occasionally drop down into your bed and bite you for its first blood meal and it takes it about 3 minutes to complete that meal. although you are very unlikely to feel anything when it is having its meal off you because it injects a kind of anaesthetic into you which makes you go numb. After its first meal the nymph will find a hiding place such as in a crevice inside your mattress and come back for more meals on subsequent nights. so an infestation of your bed is progressing probably without you knowing. Each nymph goes through 5 nymph stages of moulting and growing in size, and it needs a blood meal off you or somebody else asleep after each nymph stage. So it will take 3 weeks after the eggs hatch before the nymphs become adult bedbugs and you are unlikely to realise a bedbug infestation has started in your bed during this period as they only come out at night when you are likely to be fast asleep and when it is dark. So once they have become adult bedbugs from then on the bedbugs will be able to reproduce and female bedbugs lay up to a dozen eggs per day! So in its first week one female adult bedbug may lay 70 or more bedbug eggs in or near your bed, usually in crags or crevices perhaps in nearby furniture or in floorboards under the carpet or in your mattress near where you sleep. So within 2 or 3 months after your holiday when the first bedbug nymph first found your bed, you could well have a thousand or more bedbugs and perhaps 500 females laying more and more eggs in or near your bed and you are likely to get bitten more and more every night and get red marks all over you . All the beds in your home will probably soon become infested. as when one bed is getting overcrowded bedbugs are likely to detect the breath of somebody else asleep in your home and move there to set up their base and have their meals on future nights when that person is asleep.

Traps like those designed for fruit flies will work but they are coming from outdoors so you are unable to treat the site. There may be more you can do to exclude entry, take a look at your doors etc and if you are hospitality, you undoubtedly have a service, ask your guy who must be aware of it as well.

It's likely that the chameleon will eat a bedbug if it spots it moving, as the eyes of the chameleon are attracted to movement. How ever, bedbugs are active during night when the chameleon naturally sleeps. A sleeping chameleon risks dying from stress if attacked.

Also, do consider what is a healthy and nutritious diet for the chameleon. A chameleon's health depend almost solely depends on the calcium/nutrition in food, along with adequate humidity, sun and water. Besides nutrition, bedbugs have not yet proven to infect humanbeings with diseases but they do withdraw blood from a host animal. Any live captured insects risk to carry diseases (gained by diet or by environment) that can be harmful to the chameleon.

Isopropyl alcohol will kill Bedbugs. It is the main ai (active ingredient) in a commercial product called Steri-Fab.

Rite-Aid carries it...or online...

Bed bugs won't cause convulsions or twitching, but give people itchy red sores on their skin.

There have been rare recorded cases of anaphylactic shock related to bed bug bites.

This is a personal belief and is up for you to decide. However if you are living by your self I suggest getting medical help, as probably it is a mental thing rather then a demented thing.

Yes, bedbugs can live for up to a year or more without having a blood meal. But in some cases unfed bedbugs may move to a neighbouring apartment if they detect the CO2 from a sleeping human in there at night, and particularly if there is easy access between the two apartments. Once they have had their meal from somebody sleeping in that neighbouring apartment, they are then likely to make their home there and breed and lay eggs in there rather than return to the empty apartment where they previously resided.

There is no certification for bed bug extermination. Exterminators are not required to have licenses but it can show that they have at least minimal skills.

Windex is a glass cleaning product that should not be used to kill insects. Bugs are apparently vulnarable to the solvents in the product. But so are you; these solvents are not harmless when inhaled.

If you submerge bed bugs in 70% ETOH solution, it will kill them. However, if you just apply it to a surface, and expect it to kill bed bugs that crawl over it, that won't work. The ethanol will evaporate quickly, and once it's dry, it's not effective in killing much, although it might do an okay job repelling bed bugs for a little while, but ethanol isn't a safe chemical to expose humans to.

I think you mean "contagious" and you need to understand a bedbugs are insects that lives in or near where humans sleep. They come out at night to feed, by sipping the blood of a person who is asleep. It is not the kind of "bug" hospital staff refer to as being an infection, like "asuperbug" which is not an insect. But if any bed in your home becomes infested with bedbugs, perhaps as a result of bedbugs breeding in increasing numbers in or near that bed, some bedbugs may soon detect the breath of somebody else asleep at a greater distance elsewhere in the home and so move to that other bed in same home, set up their base there and feed off the occupant of that bed. So in time in any home after one bed gets bedbugs they are likely in time to infest all beds in the same home, and may even spread to beds in a nearby home.

sprays, dustings. wash clothes and bedding in very hot hot water and dry in high temperatures. inspect cracks and crevices. behind pictures in nightstands. anything in a 10 to 15 foot radius from the bed. although they can travel to other rooms as well. they are usually close to the blood host. YOU.

It is more than likely that Bed bugs can stick to walls. Most insects have some type of hair follicles that allows them to proficiently crawl and walk on flat vertical/horizontal surfaces, such as walls, railings, stairs, ceilings.

Yes. They are clear when they're young and haven't had enough blood yet to turn them red.

If you dreamt that you were floating above your sleeping body and that your body's eyes opened and walked out of the room, then you have good things in store for you.
