    There are some things you can do yourself, Fatima,and some things where you need a pro, and I'd say bed bugs are a time you need a pro. A professional exterminator will have the right pesticides to use, the right tools to apply them safely and be able to tell you what additional steps you need to take. Good luck!

    Watched "Billy the Exterminator" fight some bed bugs the other night on TV. He constructed a chamber with a heater that killed the bugs on sheets, drapes, etc. I think he used eugenol oil on the rest. But believe you are going to need special help on this one as Douglas mentioned.

    Creepy...I saw a show, and there are companies that roll in these big heaters, heat up your house, it kills all of them. I think this is the only sure thing to get rid of them.

    The only way to get rid of them is with a professional treatment. All you will do on your own is to move them around the house. And unfortunately you may have resolved them and brought them back in. Its important to find where they came from originally.

    Before you spend another dollar, or do anything else! Get proffesional help! It can be expensive, but they will know what to do, how to do it, and make sure the company you choose, guaruntee's their work! Be aware that there are several standard treatments that company's use. And they dont all work. RESEARCH on the web what works, then research the pest company's in your area for the best choice. In the end the time and effort AND expense, will be worth it! Otherwise, you will never be ...»
