Question

Have any of you ladies had any experiences with bed bugs? I just moved into my apartment last May and they keep popping up. We look around, find no nest, no babies. Just random bugs every once in a while. We have treated all of our furniture and taken all necessary precautions and they still pop up. I'm convinced they are in the walls or something. Any guesses why this could be happening and how to get rid of the problem for good?

Answer

I feel like you need to get the landlords to call a pest control service, this seems like something they should be dealing with.

Answer

Been there. It’s the worst, I am sorry. My then boyfriend (now husband) and I searched everywhere and could not find a source. We just kept waking up with bites. We flipped our mattress and everything. Finally called pest control and he found them in a seem of our bed frame immediately and he treated our beds and closets. Never had an issue again. I wasn’t pregnant at the time and would worry about the chemicals if i were...but hoping for you there are some natural options!

Answer

I used to work in a hotel. They definitely can get in walls. We would treat the rooms next to the room that had them plus the one on top and below.

Answer

Ugh they are the worst! I would definitely get a professional to fumigate, if you can find somewhere else to stay for a few days. They can live in lots of different places and travel surprisingly far at night to feed, so very hard to isolate. So sorry you are dealing with that!!

Answer

No judging - they’re very common unfortunately! Unfortunately i had this issue before living in a big city and it’s very difficult to get rid of them. 
You can hire special dogs to sniff out the source (it cost around $300) and then have to fumigate entire house multiple times - it took about a month. I was pregnant when this happened so i had to stay somewhere else. Try to sleep in the same place each night bc they do follow you if you go sleep somewhere else. They cannot tolerate heat or very cold so you’ll also have to dry every piece of material item in your house on high heat or if it’s very cold where you are put everything in a sealed garbage bag outside. I do believe it has to be below 0 though. If you’re in an apartment then it may be coming from your neighbor and they will need to get rid of them. Definitely something your landlord needs to take care of it you’re renting otherwise I’m sorry 😬 it was a very expensive and long process to get rid of them! We hired the dog after the treatment to make sure they were gone for good
