What should I do to kill bed bugs? or can i control bed bugs?

My wife and I are having a problem that she keeps getting bitten by something when we are in bed. But it has not affected me as much as she has. She is about go crazy right now. I asked one of my friend who in the past experienced the same situation and he told me that it would be by bed bugs and I should contact some like pest control professional or something. At this present, I am kinda lost. in fact, I don't know what to do. Perhaps I should have call the professionals but I kinda doubt it. So I'd like to get some information from you guys first and then I will decide what I am going to do.





Thank you in advance y'all.What should I do to kill bed bugs? or can i control bed bugs?
Hello there i'm so sorry to hear that this is happening to you. From what you are saying it does sound like bed bugs. The reason it is affecting your wife more is the fact that blood sucking insects are more attracted to the female hormones.





It seems as that you would like to try to control the bed bug problem before you call a professional right??





There are several different methods i've tried and i have to say its to your preference on which products and methods you use.





First of all for your mattress i advise you use either a natural product or a non residual product. Because it touches your sick and you sleep on it you do not want anything strong or that is residual and will remain in your bed for a long time. Usually using a spray type is good.





Recommendations:


- Bed Lam- an aerosol spray that can be used all through out the house and mattress.





-Steri Fab- a spray that can be sprayed everywhere also that focus on bed bug kill





-Rest Easy- Is an all natural spray that also comes in a travels size so that you can take it with you when your traveling so that you do not bring home bed bugs from the outside world to your home. It also comes in a cinnamon scent





Second is the dust method. If you look on the side s of the bed mattress there should be little round holes. If you pour a little bit of the dust into the inside of the holes the bed bug will die. The dust can also be used for a long the bed area and underneath the carpet as well. Especially if the bed is lined up against the wall.





- Drione Dust or Mother Earth Dust (use a dusting tool.)





Then covering your mattress and box spring with encasement will prevent and eliminate bed bug and also help with allergy problems and dust mite problems. (ALLER ZIP PROTECT A BED ENCASEMENTS)

Bed bugs hide out when they aren't actually in bed biting someone. They are small and hard to find. You might wash your sheets and see what you collect in the dryer filter.





Bed bugs are difficult to control. You need to hire a professional exterminator and your home may require more than one treatment.
You need to have someone come in and professionally kill them. They will hide in baseboards and cracks. They are very hard to kill. You won't be able to kill them without help. Save your wife the misery and the sooner the better.
Most people grew up never seeing or hearing of an actual bedbug, so one of the problems is that some people don't really believe it is happening. It's happening--huge. It's a major topic of discussion at all the hotel management conventions. I had a long conversation with my terminex guy about it--great new line of business for them because it is so difficult to treat. You may need to buy a new bed. Or at least get one of those allergic mattress covers--which still costs a bit. They hide in the cracks in furniture and baseboards.





People who travel are more likely to be affected in their home because bedbugs hitch a ride on luggage. Did you unpack your suitcase on the bed? If you are the one who travels for business you may have brought them home. Another big source is college dorms.





In short, you have my condolences.
