Have you experienced bed bugs?

[The Blue Flower]

My first time, and I was shocked when I discovered the infestation under the box spring. The pest control guy sprayed this morning and I'm waiting to get back into my apartment. In the meantime, I took all of the clothes in my dresser to the laundromat and put them in the dryers--40+ minutes at high heat. I also got mattress and box spring covers that are supposed to prevent re-infestation. Do any of you have any other suggestions to keep them away? I have no idea where they came from. I haven't traveled since January and I don't shop at thrift stores.

1. My neighbor had them, brought them home in a suitcase

spent lots of money on pest control, mattresses, but the only thing that gets rid of them is heat.


Good luck!

2. Bedbugs

Get a product called "Hotshot Bedbug and Flea" Amazon has it. It works, it will break an infestation and keep them gone with judicious use.
