I set the traps as in the video I posted before. Found NO Bed bugs in any bowl. I put 2 at work. One in back and one in front. None. Then had all 3 bowls in my Jeep. One in front Drivers seat, one in front passenger seat. One back at the hatch area. So far NONE.

you now have a taste for bed bug blood. The insatiable bloodlust. Reminds of that skunk who sprayed my dog twice. I knew fully well he would get me too if I went after him.

but the bloodlust blurred my rationale. I was waiting for him to come out from under my shed. I was armed with a baseball bat. I didn't t want to use a gun because it wasn't personal enough.

never did see that that son of gun again. I think he got the picture and left for greener pastures. LOL

'Bite me' (bad joke I know)

Seriously I wish this on NO ONE
Getting control of it. Today, Jeep no bites. Phantom bites cuz now my skin is so sensitive. But so far, Jeep good. Bedroom is getting better. Bagged the mattress, atom bombed inside with bug spray. And of course, need to wash all the clothes in plastic bags that are sitting in the backyard. The coupling on the washer just broke. LOL. So getting coupling. ahhh, just another day in 2017

Yep. But the lil bug bastards aren't in the Jeep anymore. Heat was the only way to get rid of them in my Jeep. Very pleasant to drive once again.
They did creep into the house in a bedroom. Found their nest. And killed them too. Isopropanol, 99% and 91% works well as first attack. Then follow up with steam cleaner. Do the alcohol spray first cuz the steam clean can blow the lil bastards away rather than kill them. So to be sure, did the alcohol spray first. I bought 2 portable steam cleaners because the reviews called them good for these critters. And it is. DBTech off ebay for $25. I was going to use one at work if need. But none at work . Works good for other cleaning too. So waiting 6 to 12 days to be sure they are evicted from the house. These creatures costs me a bundle now. Mrs won't sleep on the mattress though I destroyed and cleaned it off. And the 3 piece couch set goes too. Not so bad about the couch set because they are worn. But geez, nothing but $$$$




DB Tech Steam Cleaner, Portable on ebay. Prices vary. I paid $25. Has several attachments

Guess what


SUCCESS. No bugs. Gone, Nada, None, Caa-put .
And in the house too. GONE. Caught them early so little trouble. Except did throw away a couch set and a mattress set. It did take several weeks to do it. But DONE

Did you hear that story in Georgia i think it was. Somebody was pissed at the council and threw bed bugs on the desk. I just about well, ...
Yeck. That is how you defeat isis. Send them these critters in a nonexplodng bomb. After a week, if enough, theyll kill each other.

It's been a year and a half. Well, no return of the evil, demonic bed bugs AND. Nothing to report. I still cringe. Still have some trouble with my feet and legs. But. The &^"@$*€%" bugs are gone. Still trying to get rid of that hobo.

a very effective, safe & cheap method to wipe out any self-cleaning insect that crawls is Boric Acid, which is basically concentrated Borax powder

Insects cannot detect it is toxic, and crawl over the dust, later ingesting it when they clean their bodies.

It works by destroying their internal ability to regulate hydration, on cockroaches, fleas, ants, bedbugs

virtually non-toxic to humans.

I have tried for many years to control cockroaches around here, as conditions are good for them

absolutely no chemical has even come close to being so effective, a 2kg tub lasts many years

pest control people would be out of business if they used this stuff

it does not kill very quick like a regular chemical, takes a few hours

I had some roaches in my Jeep, threw some on the carpet
