Bed Bugs...

Yo,
I've been getting the shit bit out of me the past month. I finally found 2 bed bugs a few days ago. I am positive they are bed bugs. I threw em out.
However, my bites on my hand are still itchy as balls.
Anybody have any experience with bed bugs? Should I be worried I found 2, or am I okay you think?

The only way to get rid of them is to burn all your belongings and move. I wish I was kidding.

you need to clean the shit out of your house bag and wash everything. NO joke, my upstairs neighbors got them and had to throw out everything cuz they didn't take care of it. couches, beds, ect. then they spread to our apartment took like 6 months of anal cleaning and bombing constantly to not see them anymore. very bad and creepy to hav. good luck

after losing everything in a divorce in '10, i lost almost everything again to bed bugs with my first apartment since the divorce last summer. i had to ditch my couch, a nice chair and my bed when i moved. and this was after my place was treated several times for them. they're fuckers and i wouldn't wish it on anyone. if you're seeing them then you need to immediately contact your property management company to see what they'll do for you. if you're a home owner seek professional consultation NOW and do whatever they tell you to the t.
sorry to hear.

The only real way to eliminate the little bastards now is to cook them to death. Search for exterminators in your area that are capable of doing heat treatments. Pesticides are totally ineffective now. It might be costly but it'll actually get rid of the cocksuckers.

Call an extermanator, or if you are living in an apartment tell your super. I've had them a few times, they fucking suck.

Yeah man get professional help immediately before it gets too out of hand.. Bed bugs are no joke. If you saw 2.. those aren't the only ones. They are breeding somewhere.
Check under your mattress, in the cracks of all the sheets and everything.. I bet you find more.

These aren't the responses I wanted to hear hahaha. Damn. This is only a temporary residence, maybe I should move out asap then. But that means I can transfer the bed bugs to my new residence if I don't clean well enough... Ya I'll have to get in touch with my apartment complex people asap.
Thanks you guys for the replies!

You want to bring all the clothes you don't want to a laundry mat, mix them all in with other peoples clean clothing and leave. This will spread the family up to other houses, making the remaining bed bugs lonely. They will at this point leave your house and travel to their family.

My family owns many rental properties. There are two ways we go about it:
Expensive way - Wait for the renters to leave, and hire a pest control company willing to mix up an extra powerful batch of poison because no one lives there. It takes months to get rid of those suckers and so much money.
Cheapo way - Get a caulking gun and seal up every freaking crack in your house. It looks tacky, but it works very well. If they can't get in, they can't bite you, and so they die. Also, cover all the floors with flea and tick powder but don't vacuum it up.
Fun fact: The powder's main ingredient is a poison called permetrine, a precursor to safrole which is used to make MDMA. Be careful, it's deadly poisonous to cats.
Pretty much all the professionals recommend getting rid of your mattress. Renters always leave theirs behind and make it our problem, but what can you do?

I had them for a couple weeks. Kept waking up finding them. Tried to kill them off the mattress and such during the day, but it never made any sort of difference. Ended up moving out of that place and put that mattress and box springs in a basement for a summer. Used it after and no bed bugs. Not sure how the little raid bottles of bed bug spray work, but might be a possibility.

Take this problem seriously, or it will follow you around.
I know a dude who had serious PTSD after facing a serious, tenacious infestation.

Fuck bedbugs, I had them once. They are the worst insects there are.
We had to throw out everything multiple times, matresses, couches, clothes, etc... and it took us a few months to get rid of them.

Those bites are worse than bee stings, and they itch as bad as poison ivy. I was shooting copious amounts of heroin at the time, and it still fucking hurt like a motherfucker. It really is a serious problem, and if you don't get rid of them they will drive you nuts.

I have read about psychological damage from bed bugs.. wow i'm a bit scared now. I am strong mentally, but I don't want these bugs to get the best of me.
Do you know how bad the PTSD is for that dude you know?
I don't have a serious or tenacious infestation I think.... I lifted up my mattress and checked all the sides of it and didn't find any more bed bugs after finding 2 a few days ago.
I need to clean my room all day tomorrow, though; it is a lil dirty for me.

I thought it was poison ivy at first... but then it didn't develop the classic oozing that poison ivy has.
These bed bug bites are moving from body part to body part... I'm not sure if I'm spreading it myself by itching or if they're biting me every night.
And ya they do itch pretty damn badly

They bite you every night, and they hurt more and more each time you get bitten. Act fact.

No one knew what bed bugs were when I/my parents were kids. The saying never really made sense. They came back in a bad way, but they were gone for a very long time from this country. I blame the Mexicans.
