  • Bed bugs are HARD to get rid of...they infested an apartment building we lived in and we had to throw out most of our stuff including our bed, which we threw off the 3rd story balcony lol...they can infest behind wall paper, picture frames, clocks, lamps, wood....almost anything u can think of....u can get skin infections from them bc they r like mosquitoes that suck ur blood...gross I know. We had to move and start all over....so this is serious but I'm not sure how it would affect ur baby...id talk to ur dc asap...and think about moving and replacing ur bed....keep me posted pleaze
  • Yes get plastic covers for your bed they may even spread keep the heat on helllllll that helps a lil but they come out at night u got tu get out .... Check your couches and stuff
  • Thanks, everybody..! I rather it be me than my little one, I'm glad baby isn't here yet..!

  • Are bed bugs visible..?
  • They are sometimes. As they feed they get darker and grow. The only "real" way to get rid of them is to turn the heat up to 100+ degrees and seal up the place. Make sure to remove anything that can be damaged. This only works in a house though. In apartments they travel back in over and over. There are no legal chemicals that kill them. My brother had them and had to get rid of almost everything because he lived in an apartment so no matter what they did they came back. Good luck. Hope it helps

  • They can even be under ur carpet.
  • You can kill the bed bugs by exposing the to heat it has to be like 120 degrees I saw it on discovery health
  • We had them so bad at one point I thought my daughter had chicken poxs but then she was sleeping I went to check on her and she had like 4 of them feeding on her we left and went to a motel we clad an exterminate and told me that it would cost 1200 dollars a session and we was gonna have to have 3 sessions cause it was four apartment in the buildings and idk they was horrible and I just moved grabbed a handful of clothes and her sippy cup diapers wipes and play pin that I had washed down and scrubbed with lysol and soap and water.....and rinsed twice a day for a week.....other than that I left everything I mean EVERYTHING.....it was cheaper to leave than to get rid of them considering the fact I didn't have them til the new neighbors moved in........so best bet is to move
