thanks reddog. I did another 3 loads of laundry blankets and sheet along with other clothing items jeans, underwear, etc. I did't want to use the big washer at the laundry but i guess it was cheaper $4.75 than using aabout 5 washers which are $1.75. I figured if i used the cheaper washers there would be hot water to kill the bed bugs/ There were to many clothes to do any good in the big washer. The $2 washer was ok. i think instead of ashing the clothes i should have just put them in the dryers. I took a shower and hoped i was bed bug free. i figured if i threw the clothes i was wearing away i woldn't have them No such luck. The apartment manager had the bug man come in but all he did was make gay bugs. alo she bought some stuff that would get rid of them. some kind of natual something or other. Do you know of any kind of bedbug repellent as i am becoming a Happy Meal for them... [ More ]

Like you I was getting tore up by them but not my wife. It took two months of every three or four days of spraying and powdering the house but finally got rid of them. Able to save everything. Good luck.<br />I wish what you are going thru on no one.

Thanks kokane. landlady knows my situation and is trying to help. I washed some clothes on Tuesday. Washed five loads about 2 weeks ago and now i have to wash them again. What i have read and been told heat is the answer. also the landlady/aprtment manager is going to use a repellent to get rid of them I hope. In the meantime i have to try to get rid of the mattress. I'll let you know how it goes

Might want to contact the landlord so they can get an exterminator in to deal with them. For your clothing wash it, dry in a hot dryer, seal in plastic bags such as kitchen garbage bags. Heat is supposed to kill them. Whether you move or not you'll have to do that or take them with you. I certainly hope you get things resolved soon.

My bed id gull of bedbugs. I didn't know this and was wondering why my arms itched so much, If my cleaning lady hadn't notice this I would probably still be scratching. They are all over my apartment and I think even in the central air system. Every time the air comes on it seems it blows out the little critters. The apartment manager told me it cost $700 every time they come out. I threw a bunch of stuff away that would have made good for a rummage sale but I didn't want to leave any thing. Thrsday /7/18 I have to get rid of my mattress I like where i'm at because it walking distance to the Credit union. Post office and 2 nearb restaurants. One of the Restaurants is attached to the apartments because the aprtment building was a Hotel. The Hotel, itself, is a Historical building built in 1889or 1890. I just hope i don't have to move.
