    OMG I am going crazy!

    I have BED BUGS! or something, every morning I wake up I have some new bumps on me that itch like a mother f@$#!#
    I tore my bed apart looking to see what it could be, washed all my bedding and still have this sh!t,

    anyone else ever had to deal with this type of thing?
    I am about to go out of my mind, or go sleep in my car, I cant take this anymore.

    Could be, because I did a good search of my bed, and didnt find any evidence of bed-bugs like skins/blood/droppings

    How to Fight Bed Bugs

    1. Remove all material articles from your bedroom, put them in a plastic bag and wash them in hot water. This means removing all material articles from the floor (clothing, towels, blankets, small rugs, etc.), taking down any curtains or other material window coverings, and removing all the bedding from the bed(sheets, pillowcases, blankets, bed skirts, etc.). If you can’t wash your curtains; steam them or vacuum them. Repeat this step often until bed bug problem is resolved.

    2. Remove and/or clean bed bug hideouts. Remove any hanging pictures in the bedroom and thoroughly clean the frames and the wall behind them (bed bugs are known to hide out behind picture frames). Clean your headboard and footboard (wipe down wood and iron headboards and vacuum material ones). Clean out any under the bed storage boxes, containers, baskets, etc., and try not to use under the bed storage again until your bed bug problem is resolved. Clean your bed frame. Thoroughly, wipe down other bedroom furniture and the walls behind the furniture. Clean around doorframes and window frames. If your infestation is really bad, then you may need to clean out your closets too.

    3. Vacuum your mattress and box spring, especially along any seams.

    4. Seal any holes in your mattress or box spring.

    5. Seal mattress and box spring in plastic covers. If your mattress and box spring are extremely infested it may be a good idea to throw them out and buy new ones. If you do buy new ones; try to wait to have them delivered until you have your bedroom is well cleaned and definitely seal the new mattress set or box spring in plastic covers before putting them in the bedroom.

    6. Seal up additional hiding spots. Get out the spackle and fill any cracks in the walls, ceilings, or doorframes of your bedroom.

    7. Vacuum carpeted floor or rugs repeatedly and thoroughly. Some people find having the carpet steam cleaned also helps.

    8. Buy and apply insecticide. This can be a bit tricky for a couple of reasons. First, insecticides cannot be used on a mattress or sleeping areas, however they can be applied to along the floorboards, which may help prevent bed bugs from climbing the walls. Second, many bed bugs have become insecticide resistant, so an insecticide may or may not help.

    9. Hire a professional. If you are uncomfortable chemically treating your bed bug
    problem yourself or what your doing doesn’t seem to be working: get professional help.

    10. Apply double sided tape along the floorboards all the way around the room and on the legs of bedroom furniture. Ok, this step is extreme, but when fighting bed bugs sometimes extreme actions are needed. The idea of the double sided tape is to keep the bed bugs from crawling up the walls and dropping on the bed and to keep them from crawling up the bed itself.

    Dude they could be fleas too. Do you have any aminals in the house? If so, you need to bomb your house, but first sequester your animals and have them treated for fleas.

    Then start your cleaning process... The prob with fleas are... if there's even 1 egg in your carpet or something... it will hatch and you'll get a whole new infestation. GL!

    You might of just hit the nail on the head, girlfriend got a puppy abut 3 months back, and I never had this problem before, untill 2 weeks ago.
    and she lets her stay outside for hours, and I ont think she had any flea shots, or anything yet. So that could be it.

    make sure you wash everything in HOT water and use a little bleach to kill everything, not much but some.
