Just saw a post in the Health section.....as i read it i was thinking what Rexx posted at the end of the thread...... BED BUGS

I`ve read they are bad in the west end with all the older apts.
How bad are they in 4+ star downtown hotels? Obviously the hotels would want to keep any infestations on the downlow... I`m sure they don`t want the exterminator trucks/vans parked in the valet drop off.

They may have to bring back DDT to kill them.
Wish i was a chemist.... developing a chemical to kill these bugs could make you very rich.
i`m sure some exterminators are doing alright too....looks like its pretty important to have a reputable one if you do get them.

A non toxic solution.

That would seem like the best option to me. As if we don't have enough chemicals in our systems already! :rolleyes: Pesticides may kill bugs they're intended to and may not kill us in the process, they still have some effect on people, pets and especially on kids. Even if we don't see the damage, it is there. And as is mentioned on that website:

Bed bugs have started to become resistant to insecticides that have previously been effective and because of this the pest control industry has been struggling to find effective solutions to stopping the proliferation of bed bug infestations.

One day we may finally clue into the fact that we can't beat nature and are only creating stronger bugs and viruses.... basically shooting ourselves in the foot. Scary thought.

i think the exterminators put heaters in the rooms or turn the heat way up and the bugs die from being outside their comfort zone

Thanks Spermie for the pretty picture. I got a phone call from a friend who has just moved into a new apartment. After 3 days of peace she woke up with about 20 bites on her, arms, legs and trunk.

She had her stuff stored at a friends house for a couple of days and he said he had had bed bugs at one point but threw the couch out that they inhabited (!) He never had a pesticide control guy over and never actually saw a bed bug.

So, she hasn't had another new bite in over a week and has been vacuuming and has not seen anything, so, I think it is likely she picked up a flea or something.

She is terrified to bring this up with the landlord too.

Anyway, any information is helpful

Upon return from a trip where I have slept in another bed (hotel, friends, family) I strip down, put all my clothes/travel bag/ dirty clothes together and put them all in the freezer for about 5 days. Then all in the wash.

Maybe paranoid, but it's a precaution.

The washer & dryer alone, on maximum heat, would nuke them.

Bedbugs are extremely adaptable creatures due to their high reproductive rate. They can develop resistance fairly quickly to conventional pesticides.....ones that interfere with their biochemical life processes. Survival of the fittest...if one bedbug out of millions has a mutation that allows it survive a given pesticide...all its progeny will also be conferred that resistance. One type of substance that bedbugs cannot develop resistance to is diatomaceous earth. This is a naturally occurring substance comprised of silicon dioxide created from crushed diatoms (ancient microscopic creatures). This micro-crystalline substance has tiny sharp edged crystals that break down the fatty components of their exoskeletons.....and dissolves their breathing tubes. Because this is a physical means of attacking their exoskeleton....a single mutation...or even multiple mutations in a "lucky" bedbug would not be radical enough to give it resistance. Some forms of diatomaceous earth are almost completely safe for humans...as long as during the application you don't breath in copious quantities of dust. To avoid this it is best to wet the material with water and spray it..preferably with a respirator..along the cracks, edges, corners and crevices of a room...the feet of the bed....and maybe even the seams and edges of a matress. As long as a bedbug picks up some of the material on its exoskeleton...it will be dead within a week or two at the most....it will have difficulty "breathing" and will dry up from the inside out. Another good idea is to use a mattress protector...that covers and seals the actual fabric of the matress from the sheets. Just some suggestions.

That diatomaceous earth sounds dangerous.

BTW today i found a blood sucker on my jacket, took it to the bathroom and tried to flick it off
down the drain with an old toothbrush. Not sure if that worked, but immediately thereafter i saw
one {another one or the same one?} at another nearby location on my coat and washed it down
the drain with hot water. Hopefully that's the end of it! It looked full of blood. My right lower arm
had been itching like crazy the last few days, and i suspected a BB was on that jacket. It was
fortunate that after hanging it up in the closet the little vamp was stuck there, could not get off
{sexually or otherwise} and i saw the little shit when taking the clothing to wash it. Although it
seems that he was doomed anyway.
