Abeg...forget all these story. The surest way to banish bed bugs forever after you have really been dealt with...I meant dealt with. Like one fat one coming out of your collar in a public bus to the full glare of everyone. That type of dealt with... So, the only solution is...buy a new cloth. Come into your old house. Pull off your old cloth. Put on the new one and leave your house to another prepared one. Don't take anything. I repeat...no take anything. Those idiots will follow you everywhere. A word they say... 50 Likes 3 Shares |

Very long post that dances around the reader without actually pinpointing the solution as per the topic. HELLO NAIRALANDERS HERE IS THE SOLUTION FOR BEDBUGS. 1. Take note of where the bedbugs have chosen as their base. Maybe bed or sofa. 2. Take your mattress and sofas outside in the hot sun. 3. Get a bucket you hardly use, at least not for drinking water. fill the bucket with water. 4. Get a brand new bottle of SNIPER and turn it into the bucket of water. 5. Get your gloves or anything to cover your hand. 6. Get a neat rag. 7. dip that rag into the bucket. Use that SNIPER WATER to mop the mattress till every surface and corner is soaked. Do the same for all your pillows and Sofas. 8. Leave them in the sun to dry. 9. While all those stuff are still out in the sun, go back in your house and put half bottle of SNIPER in half bucket of water. Use this water to clean your wardrobe and other furniture. Use the rest of the water to mop the house. NOTE: this best works during dry season for fast drying because rain fit mess you up. I am furniture boss and home decor boss and this is how I wipe out bedbugs for my customers. 55 Likes 14 Shares |

The cheap and super effective remedy is Sniper. It works like a gem. It is what the doctor ordered. I am talking from experience. You can even dilute Sniper a little. Pour around the affected areas. Funny thing is that I think the smell alone kills. It was complete and total annihilation. My lost became totally free of it. Good thing is that Sniper is cheap. Don't just drink it. 10 Likes |
