BED BUGS??!!!
by Robyn
My son kept getting these little bumps all on his body. First we thought that maybe he was having an allergic to the new laundry soap I had just used when I did the laundry the nght before. I rewashed all his blankets and clothes this time with the soap I normally used. Days later I noticed that the bumps were getting worse and worse and were appearing in rows. He had soo many bumps I thought it was the chicken pox so I took him to the doctor. His pediatrician told me that we had a bug problem. I called the health dept out and the found proof that I had bed bugs but couldn't exactly say I did because they couldn't find any. A few weeks later I was sweeping my kitchen and found one with the crumbs I swept from under the fridge. The woman from the health dept. said that bed bugs hide everywhere from your air vents to appliances and only come out atr night, with there peak biting hours right before dawn. I informed my leasing office and they are working on exterminating them. Overall it's about a 2 week process to get rid of them maybe even more. First you have to wash any and everything that has cloth on it and then bag it and keep it sealed tight. And for everything that has cloth on it that cannot be put in the washer you have to place in plastic bags, tie them and leave the bags in the heat for several days because 120 degree heat or more will kill them. Then the exterminator told us that we have to put everything in our entire house in plastic bags, tie them, and place them in the heat along with our beds and furniture. Then after you do all this then they will come and spray. Trustme..its a long, hard and exhausting process but you gotta do what you gotta do
