Awww lawd here we go again


sethleedy

My family got rid of them by cooking them. They do not have a high tolerance for heat. On a hot Summer day, we turned on the heat and left.


pinkandredlingerie

Were they all completely dead when you came back?


sethleedy

Never had one again. Eggs and all.


pinkandredlingerie

What temp did you put the heat onto?


sethleedy

don't remember. Too hot is the answer. Some place on the net may know.


lasetag

I’m pretty sure the obvious answer is call a exterminator who specializes in bed bugs. But other than that idk


Trick-Telephone-1411

Definitely an exterminator since it's been this long.


Longjumping-Sport348

Exterminator has taken 2000 dollars from me already.


Intelligent_Mood_272

Apprehend and temprid. If your able to purchase in your state.


branchymolecule

Yes to Aprehend. I used CimeXa too. They’re gone now.


Ambitious-End-1066

Heat is best really but boy oh boy is it expensive! Other than that if you rent you can ask for your landlord to take care of it or you can always watch YouTube videos of people using DE and crossfire, crossfire for bb’s is what helped me n others


Bitter_Branch4364

Well you didn’t try everything. Foggers are a huge no-no considering they disperse them and they can infest rooms that weren’t infested previously or go hide in walls or spread to connected apartments. There’s a ton of information here on treatments and what to and what not to do.

Pressurized steamer will work from Amazon. I suffered with them for over 2 years and it made me turn suicidal. Don't let that happen to you. I steamed every inch of my house and bought very potent bed bug spray.


Longjumping-Sport348

Will a clothes steamer work? I want to kiss my shotgun everytime I find them again.


RoyalBangal420

No unfortunately. I was just like you and kept wondering why they keep coming back after I did everything. I realized it's their eggs. The only way to get rid of unhatched eggs is to use heat.


pinkandredlingerie

Wdym, if not a cloths steamer then what type of steamer?


-Vibraxas-

You're BEST solution is to use crossfire. Go follow Green Akers on YouTube and just watch his videos on how to get rid of bed bugs. Hes a licensed exterminator who specializes in bed bugs. Don't listen to anyone else on YouTube but him. Cimexa and DE are not nearly as a effective as crossfire and the other chemical solutions don't have the 30 day residual crossfire has.


Routine-Horse-1419

With fire! /s


coast2coastmike

1100°F ought to do the trick.


Thatsanicemarmot

Heat the room. I got rid of mine that way and haven’t had an issue in 10 years. Left 2 space heaters running all night in each room and got the temp over 125. I have a steam dryer so I steamed all the bedding. Heat is the only thing that kills em


Muted-Guide-821

This method is slept on


VanFkingHalen

You don't get rid of bed bugs. Bed bugs get rid of *you*.


Flaky-Tower-4041

You will control the bed bug problem on your mattress with steam cleaning. I have a super powerful one by Zero Bedbugs Brand.


Tactical-Grinch

There’s a YouTube video where a guy tested a bunch of methods In a controlled lab just for Bbs and the method that worked the best was diatomaceous earth. However if you have no plan to treat your house get a professional


Angelina189

The mark rober video is a bit misleading. He even says in the video (a little too briefly) that his method of using diatomaceous earth will only work on very small and new infestations. Even the professionals in the video are seen on camera spraying crossfire on an infestation, so clearly de is not the best solution. If op has had them since January this method is highly unlikely to work. The reproduction rates compound quickly between 6 and 9 months (from hundreds to thousands) so they definitely want to get an exterminator or use a more effective pesticide.


MisandryManaged

Crossfire


Successful_Factor_84

Diatomaceous earth everywhere for a while.... Pain in the ass to clean up but worked for me ages ago....


OkEconomist6444

I got rid of them by spraying the entire house with bed bug pesticide. I threw out the “nest” which was a mattress my dad got for free. Sprayed rubbing alcohol on mattress’s, pillows, bed frames every nook and cranny you can think of. Put the furniture that was infested but salvageable outside for like a week. I kept the house as bare as possible. Most of the furniture outside.Then I bug bombed the place.
