Why didn't you dispose of it and buy a new mattress and bedding?
- k-mcgrady 12y agoI thought that was the typical response - get rid of everything they could have ever come into contact with.
- rantanplan 12y agoIndeed. There are only 2 ways to get rid of them. 1) Throw away the bed. 2) Incinerate them; which is really hard, as you have to make sure you got all their hidding places and left no prisoners. On top of it, that method can't take place inside the house.
- kaoD 12y agoA friend of mine had a case of bed bugs and throwing away the bed didn't work, only hot steaming the whole house. The exterminators (is that the word? the guys who get rid of infestations) found bugs hiding in the baseboards around the house.
- innguest 12y agoFrom first hand experience I can tell you this might not work because sometimes (as it was in my case) the bedbugs hide far away from the bed, then do their daily pilgrimage at night onto your bed.
- fargolime 12y agoFor my infestation, no way was I going to toss an otherwise nice expensive mattress. Took only about half an hour with a shop vac to inspect every inch of the mattress and dispose of all bugs. Or at least I wasn't bitten again.
