How Bed Bugs Made Me Relocate: by YINKS89(m): 2:46pm On Aug 02
Personal experience;

So it happened that my dad sent me to one of his friends office to pick up a file and on getting there the man was not around so the secretary asked me to sit down on the sofa (my greatest undoing)

The man's office is a very big one so they have a separate visitors room where you can just relax while you wait for him. I sat down and slept off while waiting for him but woke up to a sting.

My first thought was maybe it was this normal mosquitoes that flies around so I did not read much to it then the man came attended to me and I went to give my dad his files. Note that I don't stay with my dad so immediately I dropped the file I excused myself and went home to my roomself contain on getting hoke I took off my cloth threw ot on the bed and went to take my shower (2nd mistake).

When I got back I picked up the clothes and put it in the basket unbeknownst to me I already have a foreigner in my room. After about 3 days I started noticing stings but this was different from the normal mosquitoes because I fleet my room at interval. One night it was so much that I had to wake up in the middle of the night to check that was when I stone of them on the wall, I killed it but then I begin to wonder how I got it there.
To cut the story short I discovered that I got it from my dad's friend office the day they decided to dispose off the Cushine in that off due to bug and funmigate then it dawn on me where they came from.

Note that I used a lot of chemicals but they wouldn't leave, sniper ,DD force, baygon even kerosene but alas that said my time is over in that house. Immediately my rent was due I took very few cloths to the dry cleaner got rid of most of my household items by selling it off to get a new one and that was how I got rid of bed bugs.

Those things never die.

If you've ever experienced bed bug invasion share your experience and how you got rid of them.

I'd rather live on the street than live in a bedbugs infested house.
They will cause PTSD..

MODIFIED.
I used to feel itches every night.
The stings were very painful. At first, I thought they were mosquito bites. I got myself mosquito nets, only for the itches to continue.
Then one day, I I felt the same itch only to look at the spot and see bed bugs.
For three months I did all I could do, to no avail.
I mean, I used all manner of insecticide. What helped me was when I took all the chairs out to the sun, and sprayed insecticides on them. That was what reduced it.
The stings and painful, and most times you won't even see them. Especially the baby bed bugs.

You sold your household items that have bedbugs in them to an innocent person. That’s why he probably called you wicked

Some species can survive 1year plus without blood meal and reproduce really fast, their egg can survive harsh environment. It's the reason they can be difficult to completely get rid off.

Their bite is painful than that of mosquito and smell very bad and also they reproduced best in crowded room with wooden furniture. Also if you live in ceiling appointment just forgot it because once they enter ceiling it's best to burn down the house.

Smell/odor from insecticide will not affect them unless it touches them.

I did not specify, but actually I sold olit to those Bola aboki and added money to buy another one coz that's how fast I could sell it, what they do to it after is not my concern. Of course he's not expecting me to burn it cos they cost money

Bed bugs are worse than mosquitoes, these guys are demons

The way they multiply within few days is crazy.

One time I harbored someone for just two days, not knowing he came with bugs into my apt.

The second night's I already got stung like 1k times, I no sleep that night, in the morning I decided to check every corner of my bed and hidden places, swept and sprayed some insecticide thinking I have done a wonderful job

Just two nights later they resumes, omo I wan die.. I could barely sleep on my bed both day or night, but night is worse.. these gangsters are demonic se

I tried everything I could, different insecticides all to no avail

Until someone advised I mix kerosene with sniper in large quantity and thoroughly fumigate the house, burn some other stuff like bedsheet or clothing's they would have come in contact with, which I did

It took me almost six months to finally get ride of them

Bedbugs can be eliminated gradually and completely, but not immediately. You can try the following approaches:

1. Kerosene is effective in killing bedbug. Clean all your furniture, sockets, cables and any other materials where the bedbugs can hide with kerosene. You can even use kerosene mixed with detergent to mop your room.
2. Bedbugs can hide anywhere. Try and decongest your room. Remove any unwanted items, clothings, and furniture. Discard them if possible. The idea is to create space and avoid packing many things close to each other.
3. Bedbugs cannot survive high temperatures. To eliminate them on a mattress, identify their locations or their eggs, plug your pressing iron and place it on the spots you’ve identified. It will destroy the eggs immediately. You can also think of any other tools that can generate heat - an example is the female handheld hair dryer.
4. Bedbugs feast on humans, and they won’t die if they continue to have something to feast on. If possible, after carrying out the above steps, leave the mattress or the entire room for a day or more. Do not sleep there. The bedbugs will desiccate if there’s nothing(human blood) to feast on.

These are some of the few steps you can implement to reduce or eliminate the spread of bedbugs in your personal home.

NB: This is my personal research. You can try those steps and revert.

They are horrible stuff. When my granny was old, she moved in with my parents and had the guest room to herself. She used to always have members from her church over to pray with her and stuff so one of them must have brought it in. There was nothing we didn't use or try. It was terrible and it was only in that room. After she passed, we had to burn everything in that room except the bed frame and the reading table and leave the room empty for more than a year. That was when the bugs disappeared.

Those things are satanic. They generated insomnia in me for over 3 months 😭😭😭 My solution was lemon grass, garlic and tumeric. Thank God. I'm always careful now, observing wherever I enter before taking a seat 💯

Sometimes I wonder why God created those insects, like mosquitoes, cockroach, house flies, bed bugs and others. They don't have any benefit to mankind other than to cause sicknesses.
