Invasion of the bed bugs (From Daily Echo)

Why not fumigate all the flats at once which this story does appear to suggest wasn't done.

Fumigate the lot again and offer a course of cleanliness and personal hygiene maybe.

Why would you offer a course of hygiene and personal cleanliness to the bugs?

Those affected should cover themselves in parrafin wax whale blubber (just for fun)

I blame the Elizabethan demand for imported mahogany!

I had a feeling when I saw this story it would be people living in council properties.

No doubt Councillor Thorpe and his wife think we deserve no less, being "in-bred, bigoted cretins"

Bed bugs aren't very fussy, watch out you could be their next target. Moron.

If only. I count 4 bites so far.

Stamping them out seems to be the only sure way to get rid of them --- far more effective than fumigation!

Saw a program where fumigation did not work and this couple spent their live savings, the only thing that worked, was this new treatment of heating the house to over 50 degrees. They did this by putting a huge pipes through the doors, sealing the house up and pumping in the hot air..

This got rid of the lot.

I easily got rid of bed bugs by an innovative method. If you click "Show more" in the video, it explains why the most expensive method (heating entire room to 120 F) fails and why the innovative method succeeds if bed bugs can continually crawl from other apartments to your room. It also explains why you can confirm that you have solved bed bug problem within 24 hrs after an easy job and why you need to wait for weeks to know whether you have solved bed bug problem after professional spray services.

Or courses to morons who believe that 'cleanliness and personal hygiene' have any effect on infestations of bedbugs.

More to the point bed bugs will only bite humans because they keep them selfs and there home to clean, Ben bugs feed on the dead skin that flakes of the body, and only bite live skin when there is not enough food for them.

Yes, we all know that, 'genius'.

I lived happily with tube web spiders in my flat, and the absence of flies and other creatures, with my doors and windows open to the outside world near enough 24/7, was noticeable. Unfortunately they were killed by ants that had the temerity to think I'd let them live in my kitchen. I did not realise they were there until too late but have now destroyed the nest. If anyone has tube webs to spare in their homes I would love to collect a couple from you. Best way of keeping out pests known to man.

In America ( I saw the program) they heat treat the whole lot as the heat fries the eggs otherwise you fumigate it disperses & the eggs hatch & your back to where you started.
I worked in the carpet factory & started to get attacked by these things my mum blamed my place of work.
I had a bath as soon as I got home we burnt all eggs & killed all of the bugs ( metal bed.thought we had done it) but once again I was eaten alive.
I was given clothes & body checks which made my mum realise I wasn't bringing them in.
called out the council they went next door found a person in the attic ( loony escapee) crawling with them they had to move out the neighbours & fumigate both houses,
if you fumigate you have to do the whole block more than once so you get the hatching bugs as well

just for the info tho these blocks are sheltered housing complexes for over65's you cant buy them...

Help control bedbugs by vacuuming your mattress frequently on both sides, and then use a steamer/steam cleaner on the mattress to kill the bugs and their eggs - cheaper than fumigation.

Bed bugs feed on blood. I think you are confusing them with dust mites - which never suck blood.

If lowlife lay in bed all the time what do you expect then clean linen!

You do know he's NEVER wrong and as such has NEVER had to admit in these columns that he has even been misinformed, let alone wrong.

He'll come back with lots of red herrings and suggest bed bugs owe their existence to a pig like creature from the Late Permian and Early Triassic Period; and that you need to think about it a bit more.

I don't think I will worry about someone who knows everthing, but in fact knows nothing.
I will probably not understand his 'English' anyway!

I have had the very unpleasant joy of meeting a few bed bugs . My daughter moved into a farmhouse and it seems she inherited the little blighters . They leave nasty red welts that can scar . Being a family that has chickens as pets we use a product called Ficam W which kills all the fleas , lice etc that are found on poultry . We used that, a light spray throughout the house and left for an hour with the windows and doors closed , then thoroughly aired and the little blighters were gone . For good :) Maybe the products the exterminators are using are no longer any good . Pests do grow a resistance to chemicals , Hair lice being prime example ..

I know ONE reason the council wont use it . It costs £155 for 500g :( ... But , you dont have to use much and its does kill bugs .. I* dont think its licenced for use in contact with humans ? Maybe another reason the council or exterminators wont use it . But it really is brilliant for the job .. We also spray the dog room to control fleas on the working dogs :)

Oh no, don't come back with red herrings,bed mites can't resist red herrings.

If you have them in one flat or one house in a terrace & you're chemically spraying it's crazy not doing the whole block or terrace as they just escape into the next building.
the heat way seems to stop that migration but they still need to do every invested property at the same time to eradicate the adults & the eggs

bed bugs are extremely hard to get rid off,believe it or not, it requires a certain measure to deal with them..they hid in places where they cant be reached, moving out or changing mattresses is not the solution trust me, they can even cling on your clothes, so when you go and see a friend at their house, when you leave, they stay behind, i had the same issue when i lived in Montreal, and i was bragging that we didn't have anything like this back in Southampton, now i am sure i can eat my words.they like carpets,bed frames,tiny spaces on the wall and floor, you cant fight them alone if you are living in a block of flats, because they move from flats to flats inside the building..they are very easy to kill,they don't like the cold or the heat but very hard to get rid off..what you need to do is to get a get a plastic mattress cover, if there are inside they wont get out, they will suffocate inside, and if they are outside they wont get in, because of the plastic cover, once the house has been fumigated, wash all your clothes and bed sheets,if you have a carpet you will have a bigger job, either you wash it or change the floor to a wooden one, cover any tiny spaces around the edges to keep them out, if you have furniture you don't want to get rid off, cover them with plastic for a while to suffocate them,make sure there is no holes,they air must not get in out out, anything you cant wash, put in plastic bags and tire up,and leave outside under the heat of the sun for couple of days at least, they will die inside, make sure no air goes in or out of the bag.its a hard job, if you need anymore info,let me know.hope this helps.

Since my experience I won't have wallpaper at all.
when we were hunting to destroy them we peeled back the paper & their were hundreds,
any where they can hide they will surely the pest controllers know not doing the whole block is a waste of space?

BED BUGS

1. Who bought them in to the block in the first place ?
2. How did this get ti such epic proportioons ?
3. Council pest controlers havent got a clue

as much as i hate to admit it Whelan Pest Prevention would sort this out

He might be a lousy football chairman but hes a **** good Pest Controller

well, i am sure you have read what people are saying here, they have had a pest controllers visit, some more than once, and after few days they came back, if your next door neighbour in the same building has bed bugs and his flat doesnt get fumigated, trust me they will move into yours, they can hide in your clothes,in your shoes, and pest controllers wont be touching your clothes, they can travel with me, in your car, bed frames, carpets, wallpapers are their favorite hidding place, we had pest controllers twice in my building from different companies,but in vain, i heard that some are immuned to certain pesticides..they are very innoying i tell you, i changed my bed and mattress twice, i had to buy a metal frame bed,,everyone in my building was complaining about bed bugs, can you image a 10th floor building, the only way to get rid of them completely was to move out,before moving out, i put all my belongings in plastic bugs and sealed and put in a storage for couple weeks,it was summer time so took avdvantage of the sun,i exposed all my furnitures in the garden under the sun heat, everything else i had was put in plastic bags, big bin bags i mean..i went to a hotel, had a shower changed clothes and moved in my new place, then after 2weeks i went to collect my belongings from the storage, it sounds like a lot, but i had no choice but to take drastic measures, that's i my own experience, i remember at the time,back in montreal, if you say you got bed bugs at home, people will be scare to invite you in..

Its lice, fleas and tics that suck blood, Bed bugs are mites it some thing we all have in common even with the queen, we all have bed bugs.

This is what they are.

known scientifically as Cimex lectularius (Cimicidae) are small wingless insects that feed by hematophagy - exclusively on the blood of warm blooded-animals. As we are warm-blooded animals we are ideal hosts for them.
Over millions of years bed bugs have evolved as nest parasites - inhabiting the nests of birds and the roosts of bats. Some of them have learnt to adapt to the human environment and live in our nests, i.e. our homes, and more specifically, our beds

sorry Southy as someone who's been effected by Bed Bugs I can tell you they're nothing like the insects that eat dead skin in you're bed.
these things leave great big pink/red spots & when full look enormous I've never seen a bed mite.

"Ben bugs feed on the dead skin that flakes of the body, and only bite live skin when there is not enough food for them."?

Or are you now going to wriggle out of it by saying you were refering to ben bugs and not bed bugs - even there is no such thing as ben bugs?

Milner Court is a supported block for elderly residents over the age of 60yrs, and yes some of them will spend more time laid on their backs than they would wish due to infirmity and disability. Only a bigoted, inbred, cretin would make the remark you did.

Well, bed bugs are easy to kill, but very hard to get rid off, they lay eggs in thousounds, they are very tenace, they hide in places where they cant be reached, they hide in your clothes, in your mattress, in your bed, in your shoes, on the carpet, in tiny spaces on your floor, in our walls especialy with wall papers, they can cling on your clothes, so when you go to work or to a friend's house, when you leave they stay behind, and they get infected to, so if you drive it means they can stay in your car as well.if you are traveller if you stay in hotels,whe you leave they stay behind to...

Hmm.

FindAndDestroy has a very similar written style to southy.

Maybe they have the same agent or something.

My last comment on this subject as I've started waking up through the night jumping up & looking for the bugs ( we don't have the problem).
One if it's all elderly people then they were bought in by someone going abroad on holiday,one of the helpers or a family member.
maybe they should be aware.
If you really want to rid them from this block heat treat the block & check out all workers & visitors.
If you don't the problem will reoccur
