So I'm sleeping one night, everything is going good; then I wake up and get dressed for school.
I forgot to put my shoes on; so i go back upstairs into my room and find a small brown bedbug staring
right at me. I knew the infestation had come from my (God Forgive Me) dirty *** neighbors/brother. So I tell my mother
and she sprays bleach around the corners of my bed; I told her that it wouldn't work, she didn't really listen.
Today I found another one on my keyboard.
You don't know how disgusting that is until you actually see it.
Now I'm scared to even sleep on my own bed. I may even have to move soon, please...help me.
:'(

...How?
-
Clean your bed more often.
You can't sleep on the same sheet for 2 weeks. You need to change it, keep your room tidy and kill every single bug you see.
That will mean victory.
-
Bed... bugs? What the hell? What are those? Links!
Anyhoe, pretty much what Prpl said. Clean it and kill it.
-
All I've got to say is... Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite. *flicks light switch*

*Goes and change*

Ya, these are gross. Clean your bed, ****...wth?

Haven't posted here in a while but had the same problem it's not that big of a deal all they want is blood has nothing to
do with untidiness or anything. Just check all the folds in your sheets than look in between the baseboard's. Also wash all your sheet's
don't put bleach that's unhealthy.. If you see them flush em they drown easy. My friend found 2 colony's in his couch those bastards they just pop up for no reason but they know you have blood... Also what do they look like more specifically there are different kind's of bedbug's though most haven't been around for year's but have had a recent resurgence. Just google it you'll get lots of information and tips.

No I clean my bed very often, my brother always hangs by my neigbors and their(god forgive me) dirty.
So me and my mom belive that he brought them into our house through is clothes.
-
Ya probably their not very noticeable, and can easily sneak onto your leg or in your pocket anywhere...Their actually quite annoying after you realize their there cause then you notice it when they bite stupid buggers... wow its 8 am Im going.

Wow. You're housing a couple of bisexual rapists. o.o
Reproduction
All bedbugs mate via a process termed traumatic insemination.[2][3][4] Instead of inserting their genitalia into the female's reproductive tract as is typical in copulation, males instead pierce females with hypodermic genitalia and ejaculate into the body cavity. This form of mating is thought to have evolved as a way for males to overcome female mating resistance.[5][6] Traumatic insemination imposes a cost on females in terms of physical damage and increased risk of infection.[7][8] To reduce these costs females have evolved internal and external "paragenital" structures[7][8] collectively known as the “spermalege”.[2][3][4] Within the True Bugs (Heteroptera) traumatic insemination occurs in the Prostemmatinae (Nabidae) and the Cimicoidea (Anthocoridae, Plokiophilidae, Lyctocoridae, Polyctenidae and Cimicidae), and has recently been discovered in the plant bug genus Coridromius (Miridae).[9]
Remarkably, in the genus Afrocimex both males and females possess functional external paragenitalia, and males have been found with copulatory scars and the ejaculate of other males in their haemolymph. There is a widespread misbelief that males inseminated by other males will in turn pass the sperm of both themselves and their assailants onto females with whom they mate.[10] While it is true that males are known to mate with and inject sperm into other males, there is however no evidence to suggest that this sperm ever fertilizes females inseminated by the victims of such acts.[3]

Yeah heard about that too creepy as hell because that means they can just reproduce and create a colony in a few weeks or more...Luckily they only need to feed every few day's and they are not too hard to get rid of supprisingly.
I forgot if your beds against a wall or anything move it because they will climb up and thats just easier access holy crap goodnight....Keep forgetting to sleep....

Filth really has little, or nothing, to do with it. As long as there is blood, and a moderate temperature, they will most likely be around.
But, look on the bright side, if they really are filthy, like you say, then there is a lower chance that they will give you lice.
-
I don't think you get what im saying. They had bedbugs, we didn't.
-
In the end, you still have them. So doesn't that make you equal to them?
-
No it doesn't just because you have bedbugs doesn't make you dirty.
My neighbors don't clean up their house, they have roaches, I'm not even sure
if they bathe.
My house is clean, we don't have roaches, we bathe.
-

But you still have bed bugs.

Hence; My problem is still unsolved.

Just do a big clean up. You're eleven and old enough to clean your room. Vacuum the hell out of it and replace throw all your bedly stuff in the washing machine. If you see something: stomp it; squish it; spray it; drown it; cut it; shoot it, do whatever it takes. Vacuum every day and check every corner of your room for one week and bingo, bye bye bedbugs.
-
shoot it, bye bye bedbugs.
lol, ok I'll get to it.

*reading about those strange things*
So, let me see if I understood. This is an bizzare insect that looks like an flea/tick hybrid and that lives on your bed to sucks your blood. Koolz.
Wiki says:
"Since eliminating the bugs from the room or dwelling is so difficult, it is critical to isolate your bed, and so remove their food source - you. Since bedbugs cannot cross petroleum jelly and have difficulty climbing metal or glass, one recommendation is to put each bed leg in a tin can the bottom of which is thickly coated with petroleum jelly. Note, however that although bedbugs cannot fly or jump, they have been observed climbing a higher surface in order to then fall to a lower one, such as climbing a wall in order to fall onto a bed. An alternative is to apply double-sided sticky tape (such as carpet tape) around each bed leg, or to keep each leg on a plastic furniture block in a tray of water"
Seems like a good strategy...
Good that we don't have this around here. Our pests are easier to get hid off.
EDIT: Oh, and I read just now that you have to call an specialist who will get you the right inceticide and that spraying random things can just worse the situation - so ask your mom to stop spraying bleach on your room.
-
Only pests I find in my house is a spider now and then.

I haven't changed my sheets in quite some time... I think I'm immune to them or something. :\

Wow, scrolled right down to that part, didn't you?
Back on topic: Is your bed brand new? Because a refurbished/used/whatever bed can be home to countless bedbugs. Saw something on the news a while back where they ratted out dozens of refurbished (and one or two "new") bed shops for not properly disinfecting and cleaning beds. Filthy things.
-
No my bed was made back in 1999.
My drawers have newspaper prints from the 1920's for some reason...i might post a pic later.
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY BED IS GONE AND NOW I HAVE TO SLEEP ON MY MATRESS!
F*CKING BEDBUGS!!!! DIE DIE DIE DIE!!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Hire an exterminator to "cleanse" your room/bed/house/whatever, of the little devils.
:\
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MY BED IS GONE AND NOW I HAVE TO SLEEP ON MY MATRESS!
???
-
the frame of my bed is gone...
So many memories....
-
I knew it! Those bedbug robbers must've suddenly stole it in the middle of the night! You will have to get the CSI to investigate this and take them to court!
(No, really, how and why is it gone suddenly.)
-
If it's cold outside the cold kills bedbug's aswell so putting your bed outside for a while will kill them or get them to run away..

That's true. Here it's like in the single digits, (fahrenheit) so they'd die quick. A friend of mine had them for a few months and they were very clean...
-
Wow, scrolled right down to that part, didn't you?
Yes.
-
My dad came over and we destroyed the beds (after cleaning it.) Then we threw it outside.
All I have left is my mattress.
-
Shitey
Umm...too bad
Could be worse, though
They could be on everything
Bedbugs don't just live in beds, after all
[/feeding paranoia]
-
LOLOLOL
You know, they burrow inside of your matress too. From what i gathered, they eat your skin, and the last i checked, the matress has a lot more of your dead skin particles then your box spring or bedframe.
Enjoy your parasitic brethren
-
We are horrible peopleBut I like it
-
I meant throw your whole bed mattress and all outside than take a vacuum to every inch of your room than look in between every fold you can find and if you don't find any chances are you've obliterated them... If you find them find a way to kill large groups of them...And they don't eat skin they work like a mosquito in that they suck blood but they also inject there saliva into your bloodstream which might cause a allergic reaction for some people.
-
I could of sworn they ate dead skin...
Oops, my bad
But still, clean your house, bedbugs don't live just in beds.
-
In that I agree with you Lol
-
My dad came over and we destroyed the beds (after cleaning it.) Then we threw it outside.
All I have left is my mattress.
You destroyed the bedframe and kept the mattress? >_>
Do you eat the banana skin and throw the middle away?
-
Show them bedbugs whose boss. Either;
1-Keep some Air Freshener spray in your room to kick their butt.
2-Call Mr. Freeze to make those bedbugs "chill."
3-Have an extremely big shoe fo maxiimum stepping action.
4 -Beat them dwn the old-fashioned way. *cue MK theme* MORTAL KOMBAT!
5- All of the above.
-
Mr Freeze? Man just call Mr. T! :mrT:
-
My dad came over and we destroyed the beds (after cleaning it.) Then we threw it outside.
All I have left is my mattress.
But... I thought it was established that it's not the bed that's the problem... it's you, the "food source".
>.>
did I miss something?
-
Seriously, you could have just called an exterminator...
Anyway, I keep my room freezing cold, so I am not sure if they can even survive in there.
-
did I miss something?
Yeah, the post where anyone actually gives a crap about this kids matress and living situation.
Moar project plz. Less personal-crap-that-does-not-affect-anyone-at-all
