Has anybody ever successfully gotten rid of bed bugs?

Question

We have a mild bedbug infestation in my house. They're in our couches and bedrooms. We've steamed everything at least once. They've been around for about a month now, a little less. Has anybody ever successfully gotten rid of these pests and how did you do it?

Answer 1

I would use a hot iron. I don't know what kind of fabric you have on your couch, If it can be ironed,I would definitely iron it slowly. High Heat kills bed bugs. Iron Mattress too, its wonderful.  

Answer 2

Hi there,my name is yogesh n we had bedbugs multiplying in numbers due to our neighbours,kwell relax They need ur BOLLD to suck n they live on blood,the best way is to get a PESTISIDE frm any of the store who sells the medicine for farmers or go to the farmers store where u get all items related to farm cultivation,get a small bottle which comes in white n its all insect killer,add keroscene,mix it well spray it all accross ur house specially each n every corner of ur bedding ,n also ur cupboard,n make sure there is someone keeping an eye on u ,this medicine may leed to drousiness,so close all the doors n windows,spray it all accross n  leave ur house locked for 1 day,spray again the other n lock ur house for 3 days or best is 1 week,Thats the end of the bugs n u'll will never find them its been 4 years now... NO BUGS

Answer 3

Do not use Yogesh method. Kerosene is flammable and will cause you house to catch fire. No wonder they didn't have anymore bugs. They burned the place down.

Answer 4

Call a professional exterminator. I have memories from childhood of burning a mattress and using sulfur candles to fumigate the house.

A mild infestation will not remain mild. Get to them before they drive you out of the house.
