What is the best bed bug bag to use to kill them?

I wish there was a bag you could get them into but it would be like herding cats.

The closest thing to a bag are mattress and pillow encasement's.

With any encasement you just trap the bedbugs inside it. They can't get out and they can't bite you but if you have bedbugs that are hiding in places other than your mattress & box springs the encasement's can't protect you from them. After having the covers on for up to 18 months the bedbugs and their offspring will have died so you must leave those covers on without taking them off for at least that long.

Do bedbugs have wings?

No. The two species Cimex Cimicidae and Cimex Hemiptera just have what are called hemelytra. These are just very short fore wings and they do not give the bedbug any capability of flying. If a bedbug visits you for a meal while you are asleep in your bed they get to you by crawling along your sheet and then on to your body although you will not usually feel anything when they have a blood meal off you, even if you wake up, because they inject a kind of anaesthetic into you before they sip your blood. So the whole area goes numb. Only after the anaesthetic effect has worn off some time after the bedbugs departure off you into its hiding place, will you start to itch and then often feel the need to scratch the part of you where it has been for its meal off you.

How can diferentiated bed bug and bug?

Bed Bugs are approximately 4-5mm long (about the size of an apple seed) round and reddish brown in color.

Rarely will you see them though as they are nocturnal and like to hide in cracks and crevices.

You will more likely find feces spots on your mattress and see bites on your body long before you see a bug

How likely is it that your cat will bring home bedbugs?

Your cat is out of the bed bugs menu, so it will not bring home any bed bugs... it could bring tics, or fleas. That you need to be looking out for. The fleas are removed easily with a flea collar, cats don't respond too well to other medication methods. The tics on the other hand, since they take a while to get attached to the cat and suck on it's blood, will fall off the cat into your house, and find some other living thing to latch on to. So don't worry about the bed bugs, they don't care for animals.

Where can I find bed bug spray?

Basically, you can thoroughly vacuum your bed (removes the bugs and the skin cells they feed on) and wash all bedding in hot water. Do this weekly or more often and the problem should resolve itself. Make sure you change the vacuum cleaner bag after each vacuuming and put it into the outside trash.

Can wearing pantyhose prevent bed bug bites?

What do you use to remove the stains from bedbugs?

They can be difficult to get rid of even well after getting rid of the bedbug problem. It is likely most of the stains will be of your blood which the bedbugs has consumed from you when you were asleep and they often deposit small amounts of their meals after leaving you on the way back from your body to their hiding place as they like using people's beds as a lavatory as well as banquet hall. So there will probably be some blood stains on your sheets, usually mixed in with evil smelling excrement. It is also likely to be on your mattress. to get rid of it you will need to first re soak each stain. You can best do by putting the stained bedding it in a basin of cold water, and then scrub it hard using your finger or knuckles. Once you have got the worst off then put the bed linen into your washing machine and a boil wash with a strong detergent should hopefully shift the rest. There may also be stains on your carpet near your bed and on the walls and bed structure. Carpet cleaner 1001 may shift the stains on your carpet and I have found ordinary table salt works quite well but you may have to scrape vigorously with a knife. This also works well on bedbug stains on the walls.

How can you tell male bed bug from female bed bug?

That is very hard to tell. You will have to study their genitals (really!) with a microscope. In general males are larger than females.

How do you get rid of narcissism in yourself?

Pathological narcissism results from a bad choice; choosing to create and display a fraudulent persona for the world to admire, fear, and approve of. The only road out of this trap is the complete detection and rejection of untruth within oneself. The truth will set you free. I guess that once a narcissist realizes how painful all their relationships ultimately become, they want to change. So that is the first step, admitting the problem. The next step would be to find someone that will hold you accountable. There are others in your life that you play and play well. This Accountability partner will be different. This will be someone who is not afraid of losing you, because your first instinct will be to cut this person down and make them feel inferior to you. Finding a person strong enough to deal with you as you learn a new way will be tough, but they are out there. Most likely it will be a fellow ex-narcissist that finally saw that their false sense of superiority was ruining their life. They will be able to take what you throw at them, but they will practice tough love and be a anvil while you pound away, not budging them. It may take years before you are free of the "i deserve better" lie. During these years you will learn that life is what YOU not OTHERS make it. You will learn that you GET what you GIVE. You will learn that YOU ARE SPECIAL, just like EVERYONE ELSE. Hopefully you will learn humility, which is humbling yourself despite the difficulty. I hope you learn true compassion, which is giving when you expect nothing in return. Also, I really hope that you look into whatever type of professional diagnosis and treatment you can afford.

Will neem oil kill bed bugs?

No it wont kill but to some extent would keep the bugs away. No it wont kill but to some extent would keep the bugs away.

I believe studies show that parts of the neem tree are antifungal, antiseptic, repellent to insects, and also disruptive of insect reproduction...among other things. So neem freshly applied (oil, leaves) will repel and may help kill them off.

Keep in mind though, that repelling bedbugs should be used along with methods to contain and kill them, or they will scatter and infest a wider area, and maybe eventually return.

Foodgrade, freshwater diatomaceous earth is available at some garden supply stores and is an effective dessicant for all insects. It kills them gradually (2-12 days) by degrading their exoskeletons. Most insects will walk through a very light dusting but avoid a thick layer; so an unbroken thick layer can be used for windows, doorways, and the perimeters of rooms, plus inside any opening (electrical etc) or crack in walls or floors.

Get the right kind of d.e. (freshwater, foodgrade); other kinds are hazardous. Note there are products that contain ingredients you do not need (i.e. pesticides that don't even work on bed bugs.) And don't breathe d.e.

Heat, freeze, and/or thoroughly clean (rubbing alcohol, mineral oil, bleach) all the nooks and crannies of everything you can in your home, then bag whatever clean items you can (laundry, toys, etc.) airtight for as long as you can stand it. The difficulty is that eggs take awhile to hatch, and bugs may hide anywhere and live for at least a year if not longer and come out to reinfest. D.e. should keep working if it's still sitting there dry.

Parts of the neem tree have been widely used for many health applications in India for centuries. Here are some claims: http://www.nutri-info.com/shop/superfoods/neemleaves-info.htm Neem oil does have a strong smell, but it's not too noticeable after a short time, or if mixed with other herbal oils. Some people do seem to be sensitive/allergic to neem.

Can bedbugs get inside your eye?

Can you wash your body to get rid of bed bugs on you?

You need to wash clothing (preferably on hot) and dry it (preferably on hot). Hot wash/dry will kill all bed bug stages and eggs.

Experts say you can also use dry cleaning but make sure the dry cleaner uses traditional methods (PERC) NOT newer, "green" methods which may not kill bed bugs.

Also, if you go to a laundromat or dry cleaner, do not take your infested clothing there unless sealed in an airtight plastic bag.

How do you get rid of bedbugs on drapes?

Hi currently going through this myself, im glad to have the answer, wash the curtains at 60 degrees (c), then tumble dry on low-medium heat for 20 minutes, or get them dry cleaned, Am concerned that you have the bed- bugs on your curtains, as this is not where they wish to live, breed, and hide! Are you sure they're bed-bugs?? Cos as the name suggests they are 'bed-bugs' and that is pretty much they're whole world! Either your'e misinformed to 'what' you have, or the 'bed-bug' situation has become so out of control, its an infestation(!) and they're on your curtains, book shelves, dressing table, wooden jewellry boxes and cunningly and invisibly hidden in all the cracks, joints and splits of the wood on your bed!. Hope you've been misinformed and its a damn sight easier to get rid of these, parasites than I believed, with the use of a reputable pest control company. Rentokil the best, most polite, compassionate, caring and effective company on the planet, Hope they/you manage to get your problem sorted quickly, i understand the distress it cause - completely. Good luck.x x x x

If You found living white bugs on your trousers in bed what are they?

I just found a bug like that you have mentioned and after looking online it appears to be a silverfish. For either bedbugs or silverfish you want to call an exterminator if you see a lot. While the silverfish don't bother human beings they do damage to books, curtains...

Why ca'NT I get answer to my question about bedbugs which was do they attack your cats the bedbugs that is please answer?

Yes.

Bedbugs /bed bugs will attack anything with blood; humans, cats, dogs, mice, cows, etc. One lady complained that her poodle kept getting bitten ( as well as her)

Bedbugs are attracted to your breath just like mosquitoes.

They are born as small as lice and ready to bite. So Use a spray poison and then use the diamtacas(?) earth around all wall edges, and wash everything in your apartment on hot water and TIMED dry high heat.

after that wash all your bedding once a week, and dry the pillows and comforters instead of washing and drying because they are too thick but they can be baked effectively.figure out the source!!

If the temperature is high enough it will kill all the bugs. But bedbugs do not live on the body and they never lay eggs on the skin. Bedbugs hide in the sleepingroom and come out at night to suck blood.
