I’ll be 70 soon. I grew up with these. She say’s you won’t even feel them. Once the infestation reaches a certain level there’s just too many of them and it will wake you. Imagine being a kid and waking up to the bites and the itch. Imagine seeing them on you and the mattress. It really freaks you out and exhausts you trying not to sleep for fear of them. It effects your whole life. You’re so tired you can’t think straight, your school work suffers, you get depressed. It’s like being in a horror movie.
Spreading baking soda in and around walls and bed boards (and under mattresses/box springs) works too. It dries them out and kills them almost instantly. Another bedbug fact that this video should’ve covered is that their eggs can stay dormant for up to a year or a little more before hatching. So if you’re infested keep that in mind.
My cleaning lady brought bedbugs into my house because she insisted on using her own vacuum when she cleaned. It was actually pretty easy to get rid of them but it takes time and diligence. You need to encapsulate your mattress and boxspring in sealed covers. At the same time spray down the entire bed frame with insecticide and coat the legs with petroleum jelly. Then wash and dry your bedding before putting it back on your bed. Make sure your bedding does not hang down and touch the floor.
Also make sure you take off all your clothes and wipe off your feet anytime you get into bed. You need to cut off their food supply (you) and they will all die in about 6 months. It is extremely important that you do not reintroduce the bedbugs back into the bed so make certain they are not on you when you get into your bed. Their eggs can last up to two years so I would keep the covers on the mattress and box spring for two years. If you have no bites during that two year period you won the battle. Reward yourself with a new mattress and box spring.
