Re: Infestation....

[tabaqui]

Wowza, that is nuts. Wth.
I actually woke up in the night a couple years ago, with something biting the *fuck* out of me. Got out of bed, turned on the light, and found this little bug in the bed, doing this weird, spinny dance or something. I killed it, and had horrific, itchy bites all down my back. I'm pretty sure it was a bedbug, but i never found another, and never had any more bites.

Fucking weird.

I dunno what the exterminator is doing. Staff is washing everything in hot water and bleach, and wiping the room down. Dunno if the mattress will be okay - they've got covers, but what if the bugs got inside it? Who knows. Totally gross.

do NOT keep the mattress! they DO GET IN THEM and STAY it is so bad.

Re: Infestation....

Oh great.....
Thanks for the info!

Re: Infestation....

[greghousesgf]

yeah, I had to get my mattress and all my sheets and blankets, etc. replaced. I had both the spray and the heat treatment. Gets all the eggs and the little fuckers never came back and this was about 9 or 10 years ago.

Re: Infestation....

Jeez Louise, what a mess! Glad you got rid of them, but wowza. That's a financial hit!

Ah, okay, if they're washing and cleaning like that then they'll be spraying. I figured they probably would opt to spray, since I'm pretty sure it's significantly cheaper. I've promised myself that if I ever get bed bugs again, I'll pay for heat treatment. It's EXPENSIVE but it also means you have to do way, way less additional cleaning and throwing out.

As long as the mattress covers are qualified to protect against beg bugs, then they should be fine, and in the event that any of the mattress covers weren't properly closed, all you have to do is seal them now, and any bed bugs that may have found their way inside will be trapped inside and eventually die there. Which I know is still pretty squicky, but I mean, as long as they can't get to their food source they're really no worse than any other tiny little bug.

The fact that you felt the bite of that bug that was biting you makes it very unlikely to've been a bed bug, as bed bugs bites are generally undetectable while they're happening, particularly as they inject an anesthetic with their bite. I can see why you'd think bed bug, though, given it was in your bed and the bites were itchy.

I supposed it's possible for someone to have an adverse reaction to the anesthetic crap they inject or something like that, though. I'm definitely not a bed bug expert!

Re: Infestation....

[tabaqui]

Hopefully they caught it all fast enough that only the one mattress was exposed; there are two bunk beds, four mattresses in the rooms, so...that could get expensive!

It sure *looked* like a bed bug - who knows! I'd never got a bit from anything that hurt that bad or itched that bad afterward. They were all in a line down my back/over my hip. So awful.

all you have to do is seal them now, and any bed bugs that may have found their way inside will be trapped inside and eventually die there.

I should probably mention, though, that in a lab setting bed bugs were found to survive for up to 400 days without food. So if any of the mattresses weren't adequately protected and you choose to go the route of sealing them inside of bedbug safe protectors after the fact, be sure to keep those babies sealed for a WHILE. :/
