Bed bugs, HELP!?

Question

Last night I couldn't sleep and woke up at 3 in the morning, there was something stuck to the under part of my arm that was itchy, so I took it off, but I had a feeling that it was a bug, so I looked at it under the and sure enough it was a little bug. I recently watched a show about bed bugs and so I was already paranoid about them but I never thought I would actually find out, but there it was. I looked it up on the internet, to compare it to a real photo and I'm certain it was a bed bug. I was completely creeped out and couldn't sleep in my bed after that, I slept on the couch. I've never had a problem like this before, and I don't know where they came from. I looked under the mattress and boxspring and around the room but I didn't see any bugs or f***s. My plan is to vacuum the bed and the entire room, put some bug spray on the mattress and wash everything. Is it possible that there would be bugs inside the mattress? Are there definetly more bugs even if I cant see anything?

Answer 1

buy a new mattress if vaccuming and bug spray dont work.

Answer 2

I dunno but wash everything.. or buy new sheets and keep them clean

Answer 3

put eucalyptis (I'm not sure how to spell that) on.  Bugs hate that!  Don't put bug spray, because it is toxic to you too.  Go to the health food store and scope it out!

Hope I helped!

Bed bugs are pretty nasty! Once you’ve confirmed that these are indeed bed-bugs ‘bugging’ you… might as well replace your mattress with a new one and put on a newly washed bed sheet after that. You wouldn’t want the bed bugs to spread in your bedroom.

Answer 5

well yes theres bugs u cant see but u need microscopes those shouldnt harm u though and... fumigation i sugest?

Answer 6

if its possiable take your mattress outside and spray it out side and leave it  outside for a good while...it helps illiminate the smell of spray and dry quicker...then when u bring it in vacume and put on the clean sheets.
