Ways to prevent bed bugs? DO NOT COMMENT UNLESS IT IS POSITIVE ADVICE

Question

Long story short, we're moving into an apartment building that we just found out has bed bugs in one of the apartments at least. I don't know if it's spread to the others, but I'd like to prevent us from getting them in anyway possible, I'd look into a completely different place is I could but that's just not something we can afford to do yet. Please any advice is appreciated!!!!

Answer

Diatomaceous earth. You can buy it in a box or a bag. It is non-toxic to humans, but deadly to small bugs. Basically, they crawl through it and it cuts them. Sprinkle it on your mattress and box spring. Problem solved.

Answer

Get a plastic covering for your bed and box spring, for sure. When we moved into my SOs parents house we got bed bugs almost instantly. They're hard to get rid of once you have them. We tried chemical sprays and all kinds of things. Eventually we said fuck it and three away our mattress and box spring. Bought new ones. Kept it in the plastic wrap and just blankets under the sheet to keep it from being uncomfortable.
