Bites of bed bugs are characterized by the fact that in most cases they are confused with the bites of other insects, various skin rashes and even injuries, but they begin to think about the real reason at the very least.
At the same time, for a specialist entomologist, the bug of a bug is quite easily recognizable, since it has a pronounced specificity.
And it is useful for simple residents of city apartments and country houses to learn about this specificity, so that at the first bites they can immediately recognize the parasites and take measures to combat them as soon as possible. We hope that the photo in this article will help the reader.
On a note
There are cases when the bites of bed bugs could not be recognized and even dermatologists confused with chickenpox and allergies. Still, today with such lesions in hospitals are rarely treated. Therefore, to know what the bites of bed bugs look like, it is desirable for everyone.
What do bedbug bites look like?
Bedbug bites look like mosquitoes, but are a bit more painful and more clearly defined. From the side, they look like rounded swellings of red color with a pronounced knob in the middle (see photo):
The main distinguishing feature of bedbug bites is their grouping and multiplicity. It is characteristic that during feeding each insect makes several punctures of the skin, sucking a drop of blood from each hole.
The bites of one bed bug are located along the same line - no other insect bites like that. The number of bites themselves is also characteristic - one parasite makes 3-5 skin punctures at a distance of 3-4 centimeters from one another.
In the photo below, characteristic bite paths are clearly visible:
Bedbugs feed, though not organized, but collectively. Therefore, in most cases on the human body in the morning you can find a large number of red swellings, one next to the other. Specific bugs "paths" are well viewed here.
It is also useful to see the article. What do bed bugs eat and how long can they live without blood?.
On a note
There are several dozen species of bed bugs, but they all bite about the same, and the differences between them are not noticeable without a microscope. And no matter where humans are bitten by these insects, their bites always look the same.
But the sensations of a person from bites are already more subjective and unequal. As a rule, adult men are less sensitive to such bites, and sometimes they do not notice them at all (and do not know what they look like). And the reddenings themselves in the morning are already faint.
Often, this is one of the reasons for the infection of an apartment house with bugs - parasites start up in an apartment where a person simply doesn’t pay attention to them, and from this apartment they crawl unhindered to their neighbors (for more information about the causes of bedbugs in a house here).
In general, bugs prefer to bite women and children. They have thinner skin, blood vessels are closer to it, body odor is not so pronounced, which can clog the smell of blood.
Below are a few photos. bitten by bedbugs children:
There is a prejudice among the people that bugs bite people very selectively. This is not true, but bedbugs are a really less attractive source of food.

“My poor child has been suffering for six months with these terrible bites. I could not even suspect that these creatures could appear in the house. They knew all the dermatologists in the city by name, and only one after the examination firmly said that these were insect bites.
I still thought, they say, what kind of nonsense, what insects in the house in the winter. But when I started to poison the apartment Dichlorvos, these bugs climbed out of all the cracks. Itself then two weeks the patient was, the child coughed, all the same, a poison. But I am so ashamed in front of him that I gave these parasites so much time to bite him ... "

An adult bug, when piercing the skin and the wall of a blood vessel, begins to introduce saliva into the tissues and blood containing natural anesthetics. As a result, during feeding the victim’s bite is usually not felt by the victim, and itching appears only after resorption of saliva components, 15-20 minutes after the bite. Insect by that time has time to safely retreat from the place of feeding.
It is interesting
Youngest bedbugs larvae (nymphs) do not know how to inject anesthetics at the bite site, and therefore very sensitive people can sense their bite even while feeding the insect.However, due to the small size of the nymph, the very piercing of the skin and the walls of the blood vessel is quite painless.
The photo below shows the larva drinking blood:
If the bites are not scratched and do not handle anything, after a few hours they darken, redness and swelling subside, and by the end of the day only small dots remain in the puncture sites.
However, if the apartment is badly infected, the next night the bites will appear again, and when their number becomes significant during the night, it is unlikely that you will not notice them on your body.
As a rule, bedbugs bite exposed skin, and therefore bites are usually placed on the neck, arms, legs, chin. On the back and sides, bites appear more often in people who sleep without pajamas.
However, even in spite of detailed information on how a bedbug bite looks like, it is easy to confuse it with the bites of other blood-sucking or just stinging insects. Especially when there are not too many such bites. But you can figure out how to distinguish between the bites of the main parasites and to distinguish them from the bites of bed bugs.
How to distinguish bedbug bites from the bites of other insects?
The way a bed bug bites can distinguish their bites from the bites of other insects.
- From mosquito bites and fleas, bedbug bites differ in their number, grouping and presence on those parts of the body that were covered at night with a blanket. In addition, bedbug bites are more painful and have a pronounced red color.
- Compared with tick bites, bedbugs punctures, on the contrary, are smaller and softer. In addition, tick bites are most often seen while feeding arthropods. The tick literally immerses its head in the wound.
- From bites of small wasps and bees, bedbug bites are less painful. Bedbug bites just itch, but the bites of stinging insects hurt.
The bugs bites can be distinguished from infectious rashes and allergies due to the presence of a small, but distinct to the naked eye point-hole through which the insect was fed. So a meticulous and professional dermatologist is unlikely to confuse bites with rashes.
In addition, it should be understood that bed bugs bite only at night and almost exclusively on the premises. If the bites appeared during the day or after sleeping on a rug on the beach, then most likely they were caused by other insects.
What are dangerous bedbug bites?
No matter how hard the scientists tried, they failed to prove that the bugs with bites are able to tolerate pathogens dangerous for humans. And this is despite the fact that in the body of the bugs themselves, and especially in their litter, sometimes very dangerous viruses are detected.
Apparently, bedbugs over many millions of years of evolution have developed mechanisms for protecting their victims. It is beneficial for them that people (their food) are healthy.
However, a person may have a reaction to bedbug bites:
- Allergic rash, itching and pain. Especially sensitive people may develop angioedema, fever, and in isolated cases - loss of consciousness and anaphylactic shock.
On a note
Allergic reaction to bedbug bites In varying degrees, has been identified for more than 80% of people on the planet.
- Involuntary scratching of itchy sores can cause skin damage, suppuration and inflammation.
- Iron-deficiency anemia. It appears extremely rarely, for example, when a large number of bedbugs regularly attack a small child.
The main consequence of bedbug bites is sleep disturbance, the lack of normal rest and frequent trauma to the psyche: for many people, shock is the feelingthat in a dream insects crawl over their bodies and drink their blood.
For more information about the danger of bedbug bites, see a separate article: The bugs can be dangerous to humans.
A little about the bites of other species of bugs
Among bed bugs, bedding is not the only ones that can bite a person. In addition to night parasites in bed, the following can cause painful bites. species of bedbugs:
- water scorpions - bugs that look like real scorpions, but live in ponds, lakes and lowland rivers. The bite of a water scorpion is very painful, but it is an exclusively protective reaction of an insect. These bugs do not feed on human blood.
- Smooth - too water bugs, popularly called "water wasps." Their bites are very painful, but they are also produced only in self-defense.
- Predatory bugs, mainly distributed in the tropics and characterized by bright color and large size. Bites of certain species can be fatal to humans. These bugs feed on other insects and mollusks. Among them are transitional forms that feed on human blood. For example…
- Triatom bugs are the infamous kissing bugs (the skin’s reaction to their bite looks like a strong kiss), carriers of Chagas disease. This disease kills more people every year in the tropics of South America than from malaria or any other disease caused by protozoa.
However, all these types of bedbugs, if they bite, then only in their natural habitat. In the same houses, and even more so - in bed, only the bedbug attacks the person.
Treatment for bedbugs
In most cases, the treatment of bedbug bites is not required. At home, these bites do not threaten anything, and with a quick and effective fight against bedbugs will not be repeated.
However, if you have a severe allergic reaction to bites, you may need to combat allergic effects.
Particularly relevant is the treatment of bites for travelers, often spending the night in low-cost boarding houses and hotels, which may be bloodsuckers. Sometimes the situation with the impossibility of hygiene on the day after the bites can provoke inflammation and suppuration.

“On the last day in Sulawesi, we were already settled in a cheap guesthouse in the port, because the normal guesthouses were already closed.Terrible room, stuffed with bedbugs. We began to bite before we fell asleep. We left the keys on the bed, took the things and went to sleep on the beach ... "

In all cases, bedbug bites first need to be washed with warm water and soap, and then smeared with alcohol.
Any well behaved emollients and soothing ointments: Afloderm, Menovazin, propolis-based gels. Menovazin, by the way, will help in case of allergies.
In tropical countries, pharmacies should buy any ointment for allergies or insect bites, they give a good result.
But the best protection against bedbug bites is to kill the insects themselves. For this today there are many tools, but you still need to be able to choose the best preparation among all this variety.
For most cases, a rather powerful choice for bedbugs is the Delta Zone, which is odorless and safe to use. It is also important to take into account that if the bugs come into the room from their neighbors, then it is advisable to perform joint pest control, and at the same time.
And so that the problem with bedbugs is not delayed for several years, you should also have an idea about effective preventive measures re-emergence of bedbugs in the apartment.

My husband scared me, he had some kind of red spots like acne, and he says that it can be bugs. I was already frightened, since we have a small child, 8 months. How to find out if they are or not?
I know how to identify a bug or not, because I experienced it myself. At about 11 or 12 o'clock at night you need to have a good look at the bed, because if they are bedbugs, then they will come out first because of the famine. It is easy to see them: large bugs come in 5 millimeters, and small ones can only be seen when they crawl.
Under the baseboards have to look.
Dichlorvos fyshknut well, and find out they or not they.
Horror.
I was bitten, it's tin! Gone drunk ...
These reptiles for a causal place have stung me.
They rented an apartment through the Internet in St. Petersburg, for a week in August. It turned out that there was not even bedding in the apartment, the first night they slept on top of the bedspread, in the morning all those who were bitten got up - there were no screens on the window (1st floor). Mosquitoes were thought, then they bought bed linen for themselves, all kinds of raptors. We spent a week - everything is fine, though, itching all the time, then we went for another week of vacation to our dacha. And also constantly got up in the morning bitten. Sinned on a midge small, at the husband in general the back as from a horror movie was: all in such blisters, again made a discount for a midge,mosquitoes, etc. And now we are in Moscow already 2 months after the holidays, and we are constantly stung by someone, just like on vacation. It turns out that we picked up the bed mite (slept in St. Petersburg on a dirty bedspread), now we also walk in bites. Tell me how to get rid of it?
Do you want to get rid of your husband? So his bites will pass and he will again become your prince from a man from a horror movie!
You need all the corners, all the mattresses, all the clothes prophykat Dichlorvos, or boil 10 boxes of matches and sprinkle everywhere. And bites smear soda, dissolved in water, in a little warm.
You just ignite the bed and everything will be fine. But I say that they will not disappear, but simply at night, maybe, they will not bite you.
No
We went with friends to Europe by car, through all the main countries of Europe. So in Amsterdam, after a night in (seemingly) a normal hotel (although not very expensive) I found four bites on my arm, one under my eye, and one for the eyelid. Itching terribly! And the bumps were big enough! In general, my hand itched at all incredibly, and I combed it finally into spets! Everything swelled nafik! ((and looking at the hand, I decided not to scratch my face, no matter how hard it was. It was difficult, but I resisted.In general, on the face under the eye, it was blown away in a day / two and turned as if into a pimple with a head. Squeezed the head, but anyway, something like a tubercle is now left, and you can’t do anything with it (more than a week has passed). In the century itself passed. And I combed it in my arms, and the hand was swollen for a week. Now, it seems, it has passed, but there are red spots with sores in the middle. In short, bugs are goats! (and be careful when renting a hotel in Amsterdam. It looked clean and ironed. If I knew, I would have looked at every inch of the bed.
Bedbugs can be, sorry, and in 5 stars. Read what is happening in New York. They just hang from this scourge, especially in recent years. Many already take mini pshikalki with them. And pshikayut themselves in any hotel. Also, you always ask for a check-in. Do you have bedbug problems at the hotel? They are required by law to tell you the truth. If they tell you - well, yes-aa, they used to be, now nobody seemed to complain, then everything is clear. If a firm “no, absolutely impossible,” means, most likely, everything is OK. And bags in such places it is better not to fold, and leave on a stool for suitcases.
I have bedbugs in my room, they bite horribly. What can destroy them without harming the fetus (I'm pregnant, at 6 months)?
I bought a German household steam cleaner, steam in it reaches 140 degrees, and the bugs do not stand at 60-70 degrees. They are very afraid of the hot and die. If you treat an apartment with a steam cleaner once a week for a month and a half or two months, the bugs will disappear.
We tried it too. But the problem is that he did not get bugs inside the mattresses and upholstery. They are there, somewhere inside, their nests are twisted. If, of course, somewhere on the shelves under the rugs, then yes. Steam cleaning can help.
People! Buy a remedy for bedbugs and pickle the apartment. We were tormented for very long bugs. Etched with Get. Super remedy, albeit expensive.
You sure that it can. I am pregnant for 5 months. And bite me and bite. Tell me what to do?
Only not you yourself try to get technical alcohol and splash into those places from the sprinkler. Their eggs die from it. But, of course, it’s unlikely to be derived in this way. They just won't bite like that. If you sleep on the mattress.Take out large technical garbage bags (usually black), cut them, buy a scotch tape for pipes and, as it were, make a large plastic cover for the mattress tightly, taping all corners. The bed itself (sofa) legs put on a special plastic stand, they are sold on the Internet. Protect beds from bedbugs from the floor. Move the bed away from the wall. Clean sheet (often washed, ironed). White to see the traces and from which side they are propped up to you. Remove all pictures, mirrors, frames next to the bed (read my comment, we just tried, I’m not afraid of the word - EVERYTHING). Alcohol is such a temporary gentle advice. And so it is better to go and fully process.
Call the pest control service, be sure to 2 treatments, after 4 hours you can use the apartment. Checked, other methods are a waste of energy.
No, services do not help, she tried.
In our apartment there were bugs, appeared after a trip and a stop in a suspicious hotel for a couple of days. And there I did not notice anything like that, I just smelled the smell of some chemicals on one of the floors. I also thought: can they be poisoned by something?
In general, they brought it themselves and did not understand what and how much.Not immediately found bites. It was just that itching, it was impossible to understand even for some incomprehensible points. Only after a couple of months at night I woke up with horror at the fact that something was crawling around my wrist. It was a bug. Having folded the wooden plank away from the bed, I found simply clusters of bedbug excrement. It is strange how they could so quickly multiply and still be unnoticed.
Of course, bought the money, with the most expensive. They poured everything possible, including the mattress. For nearly ten days we went to sleep in the living room, with all the precautions. All the clothes were cleaned and dried in an electric dryer under high temperature.
Returning back to the bedroom I found under the mattress under the wall a lot of dead. But life in the mattress itself continued. Packed in spec. plastic bag with an internal sprinkler ordered from America. No, they even continued to live after a month. The mattress and bed frame (very expensive, France, had to be thrown away). Since the material already had black characteristic points. The nightmare lasted 2 months. They simply did not retreat. We went to the rosettes for us in the living room. Special powder, sprayers of the most modern companies did not help us. We summoned professionals.
All sprayed and processed carried to the balcony. I had to wash the linen, in black bags tied with scotch tape and also separated from other things.
Curtains, curtain rods, furniture. Everything has been processed. In the apartment could return only after 8 hours. A sense of disgust, fatigue. Two weeks later, the treatment was repeated, just in case. After that they disappeared. The problem is that modern bugs are seen to have very high immunity and survival. We even tried the stinky nasty Karbofos, which is forbidden to use in homes in the EU, for example. Only those on which the product specifically fell died. My advice: believe me, I do not work in this company and do not receive any benefits from this comment. If you only feel that there is a problem and has gone far - use the professionals. We lost a sofa, a bed and a mattress, because we tightened it, but we could not cope.
Three days ago, they called in the treatment of apartments from bedbugs. Hot mist. Cold fog and barrier, and today again a bite and found a bug. Is this a bad treatment for us? So much effort and all in vain? Or how to understand this?Tell me what to do.
After processing with fog, they can bite for another week, this is normal. They will die anyway. We were told that until we see more of them!
Throw out all bed with a sofa and burn.
You know, burning is, of course, a way out, but I'm sorry, I bought a new sofa less than a year ago for 32 thousand and more I do not have that kind of money. Therefore, for me this is not an option.
I remember filming a hostel. And before that, they had never bitten bugs and did not know how to bite and look. As I settled into this hostel overnight, I was bitten as if by mosquitoes, then the second night was completely solid, and for 2 nights I had a fever and itching. I called an ambulance, they told me that it was an allergy and they pinned suprastin. And tomorrow I went to the clinic, where Sayran, Almaty. So there the doctor attributed 10 different pills and shots to me for allergies. This made me worse. The next morning my mother arrived, she immediately found out that these were bedbugs, she immediately processed them. I moved and it became easier for me, after 3 days I stopped taking these medicines. So, if you don’t know yourself, then the doctors can set you off!
I work in security, watch 30/20, and so, we live in a location, 6 people, and these small scum bite only me. As I just did not handle my bed, they still bit. Yesterday I wake up early in the morning from a wild itch, I was ALL bitten: face, body, arms, legs! This is a complete paragraph! In general, do not waste your time, if you find bugs, then immediately call the experts, otherwise it will be tin.
And these creatures on clothes live? Or do you have to throw it all away now?
They live ... I know my friend.
Buy a raid (I had with lavender). Spray on the bed in the morning, and in the evening already all the rules.
I think Alexey is right to throw everything out and burn it.
In my case (a two-story house, bedrooms - on the second floor), chemical processing helped. means (red dichlorv, karbofos, powder FAS and even ordinary chalk from cockroaches) and grass of wormwood and tansy. They filled the empty spaces behind the closets and under the beds, laid them on the shelves in the closets, in the pillows and under the mattresses. Aerosol chemistry treated the gap in the floor, plinths,sockets, joints in the bed (had to be unscrewed for processing, and then re-assembled), slots under the cabinets, abutments and joints of the steps of the stairs, etc. Dry chemistry spilled for baseboards, under cabinets, bedside tables. The back walls and the bottom surfaces of the cabinets, nightstands, the undersides of the steps of the stairs, the bowstring of the stairs, the thresholds, the door and window frames, etc. were smeared with fine chalk. After the aerosol treatment, they did not enter the bedrooms for a day, the doors were glued with masking tape around the perimeter. I had to sleep two nights in the dining room and the hall, on the couch and folding beds, on freshly steamed linen. A day later, they aired the bedrooms, held a wet cleaning where necessary. But left dry chemistry, as well as the grass in places difficult to reach for people.
Troublesome, but helped. The main thing is to process all adjoining rooms at the same time. Necessarily, and the neighbors, too, if they are, at the same time.
I do not understand yet, bugs or not bugs! Tomorrow I'll see what and how. Yes, but the creatures, these bugs, parasites - because of them seriously psyche breaks. Then to think all the time, where I was sitting, who had it ... In short, horror.
And we even prof. processing is not the first time helped.Run from the neighbors.
Activity begins at night from 23:00 and until 3:00 at night. Itself is not much bitten. How to find: buy white linen without any flowers, drawings. Large immediately visible, but there are very small, with a millimeter, and those after the bite are red, crushed - a little bit of blood. A month ago, he hounded himself, turned the whole room upside down - they were found in the sofa and the carpet. Carpet on the trash, new sofa is a pity, because the apartment is after repair. In the morning, all the clothes in the laundry from the closet will throw, bed too. Directly throw everything into the bath and pour boiling water on it, from there to the washer. Again handle the entire apartment and sofa. In general, work, work to save money on furniture and disinfection, here. Good luck to everyone 😐 P.S. In general, where did they come from, I still think, with the purchase of a sofa?
Where did you come from? We made repairs, bought new furniture and left to put tiles in the kitchen and hallway. They invited the masters - and please, together with the tiles we laid bugs!
Last year got rid of. There was a lot, nothing helped, only money was spent. Then they advised fufanon, bought 15 rubles in the shop of life.This is a Dutch chemical pesticide for plants. It helped immediately: I spent less than a hundred on a 2-room apartment. A year has passed, not yet. Only it is necessary to process everything: both sockets, baseboards, and chandelier places.
Hello, and tell me, please, how was the apartment, furniture and things treated? We have a private house, lives 7 people, and only one bites me something. I thought that the mosquitoes, and then looked at the photos of bedbugs bites - and one to one with me.
I read and do not understand ... My legs and arms are bitten, especially under my arms. Small bites, and I did not feel that someone was biting me. The worst thing that looks like a rash, not at all as shown in the pictures.
They bit me too, stayed awake most of the night, my whole body itched. Then she got up, turned on the light and found a couple of bedbugs in bed - they were red, full of blood. Immediately killed them. And she began to look for and kill them. It turns out that they come out from under the linoleum and from under the baseboards, they live under them. Go hunting in the dark. Then I began not to turn off the light, I slept in the light. The next day I bought Chinese crayon, smeared it around the pastel line. Slept quietly. And in the morning I look - they are dead near the border of the Chinese chalk, they could not reach me.
Right Wii some ...
I almost laughed))
They rented an apartment, have been living for a long time, did not notice it before, but now it’s some kind of horror, it's impossible to sleep. What to do, how to get rid of them? Recently, neighbors persecuted, it may be that they crawled from a neighbor?
Yes, everything can be!
Try etching with Get. Expensive, but worth it. We were tormented for a long time by these parasites ... The result is super after the dressing of the bedroom and the hall. Grass lintels, baseboards, furniture, carpets and especially the mattress, chairs ... Good luck to all!
We rented an apartment with bedbugs, we were stung completely on the second day. We moved, I, like, all the things blankets and pillows shook, and scattered on the street, and when she lay in the bag once again shake. And they moved to another apartment, put all the things in places and did the processing. Then, when I was sitting on the couch, I noticed a small insect, I did not have time to catch it. Nobody bit us for half a month, and suddenly three points appeared on the hands of the son. I immediately began to poison, and the next day I saw one bug, killed. No longer seen and there was no stain.My whole body itches almost, but no spots are visible, bugs can bite without stains? I almost brought all the things to the balcony, except for children. Help me, please, get rid of bedbugs, I worry for the sake of the children, I have two small children!
I also do not know what to do. I was asked to look behind the apartment. Went in the evening to see and check. Lay down on the sofa to watch TV and turned off the lights. I look - crawled in front of my nose. Quickly jumped off and turned on the light. And there were so many of them. It's terrible ... Then I shook myself and went home. Now I myself am not my own. How sick I go, itch. Now I worry: can I bring them to my home? Tell me please? (( I ask you to.
Yes you can!
And how!
We live at my mother-in-law for a month, from the first night I noticed that the child has been bitten, Combing, smearing with BoroPlus, it helps well. To poison the mother-in-law is useless, she has such deposits of old rags that have not been shaken and erased since the days of Brezhnev! I'm afraid that from this apartment I will transfer to ours with things. I will order processing at that apartment.I tell my husband that, probably, there are bugs in the sofas, the child is bitten by me and I, and he says: “Oh, there cannot be! My mom - never! ”In general, I don’t even know how to shout to them. Okay, I am, but the child is sorry.
How to get rid of them, people? I picked it up from a friend when I spent the night at her place, they were transferred to me
Buy means "Cucaracha". Anyone who has encountered such a problem has helped! Fill the whole apartment with it, the effect will definitely not wait long. The tool, of course, specifically smells, but everything, as in the instructions, and after 6-8 hours there will be no smell. After 2 weeks, repeat. In three different apartments faced and never failed exactly this way.
I do not understand, it seems, and it seems like bedbug bites, but I don’t bite my husband and child, nothing ?! Could this be?
Yes, maybe.
I also bite among all.
Tell me, please, and if you throw everything in the cold? Will help get rid of them?
Of course, it will help, in the army they always did this, all day, and normalek)
I have this joy stretches for 2.5 months. Itching only arms, shoulders, forearms. I blamed everything on nervous disorders (I have enough problems with three children), plus I was itching. Bites are small, itching painfully and itching, thought - scab. I did not observe any bugs at all — well, I did not see it and that's it. I sleep separately on the couch, children in their places separately. For a week in a row (to change the schedule well) - I went out in the afternoon, I sleep at night, I get up from 1:30 and itch wildly. After an hour I fall asleep, but there is no normal sleep - my hands are in terrible blisters. I got to my feet - I saw 10-15 bloody spots on a sheet, but I didn’t comb my legs up, sent the lamp to the sheet closer - and here they are, young and bold. She took off the sheets, shook it in the bathroom, killed all the rest, did not bring calm. Well, at least I know the reason for the attacks, and then everything is sure - a nervous breakdown, allergies, and then scabies. For skin, if there is, then steam the birch broom, after a bath / shower, rinse with this water, wipe it with bites once or twice a day. More helps 1-2 tsp. soda in a glass of water - itching and burning away.
Friends, look more carefully at the bed, change bedding more often for children, bedbugs do not like smooth surfaces, and decide what to poison, but do not hesitate!
I found some bugs in the corner of the sofa, crushed everyone, examined the sofa.I live in a hotel, will they appear again ?!
Damn, I woke up: sort of, nothing, but then I look at my hands - they are bitten. Then the legs, what is it? Bugs?
Kapets what, about two weeks ago I found a couple of such bites on my cheek, but tonight I look, my whole face is in these pimples. I thought with my mother that it was an allergy to tablets, for I am sick. I went to bed, my hands began to itch, my legs were all red. Climbed to the 'Net, read about these creatures. I look at the sheet, and there they are, of all sizes. I let them crush. Lord, now terribly afraid to sleep, well, what is this for the punishment of God? I'm afraid my mother will say that he will come again, but I will have to, good luck to you and me!
Never in my life has I encountered such parasites, I have seen every one: both cockroaches in the university dormitory, and insects in rented apartments. They bought an apartment for themselves, and it so happened that they got pregnant right away in a new place. I suffered for 4 months, everything was speckled, and the track was the temperature up to 37.7. I ran around a bunch of doctors: therapists and dermatologists, they all decided - allergy to jodomarin, prescribed by the doctor in the antenatal clinic. They canceled, the temperature was still maintained for a month, the stains became less and less, but they did not pass at all.Suspected something was wrong when the husband began to become covered by something similar. And oops, after a couple of weeks I saw a bloody stain on the bed and a brown bug. The husband suggested that it was just summer that began, and living creatures from the street climbed. And I was pushed to see something in the internet, what a bug! Eprst, bedbug! Caused disinfection, and more we do not have these creatures, after 2 weeks, just in case, held a second pickle. Call experts, do not waste your strength, nerves and money in vain! It is relatively inexpensive, 2-room apartment cost 2.5 thousand rubles, again within 2 months - for free.
My story began with the fact that I spent the night with a friend for three nights, and he had bed bugs (I still did not know what kind of problem it was). I came home, the next morning I found two puffy points on my arm, I began to google, well, and the conclusions asked for themselves. For the past year I suffer with these bugs. But just the whole year I can’t fully understand whether they are there or not. It seems that there are red dots on the track, but there have never been more than three (mostly two), and they are always not exactly along the line. In addition, they appear only on the shoulders and back (I sleep without pajamas). These “bites” do not itch for me (only in rare cases), no itching.In general, I always had pimples and spots on my back. Hands, feet, belly clean. Sometimes on the sheet I found small brown specks (maybe from acne, who knows). Samih bugs have never seen. I looked everywhere, I set the alarm clock for the night - I did not find it.
And the thing is that throughout the year they have processed it many times. We tried to process ourselves, washed all the linen, we already had a bunch of furniture, called a bunch of professionals, and even once we did heat treatment. So much nerves, effort and money killed. After all, as it is written everywhere, it is easier to fight at an early stage. But the spots and peculiar tracks all appeared smoothly. Mom says she saw the dead, but I didn’t see them and I’m not sure that she saw the bugs. Here, 2 months ago, I decided that all this was just a self-suggestion, and those two points even surfaced after a friend, just did not immediately notice. We decided not to do more processing, to see how it will be. Two months passed, it seems, there were no bites, although at times it seemed that they were. And today I found three points on my shoulder with a path, everyone is itching (some kind of mysticism).
Forces are no more, but do not want to get along with them.I want to know if there is a 100% option to find out if there are bedbugs, besides waiting for them to breed and do not crawl because of all the cracks. HELP!
Bedbugs divorced, spilled all diluted with vinegar, a month later came again from neighbors. These creatures probably will not withdraw.
Empire-20 or its high-quality counterparts. I bought a bottle (expensive, for non-cash payment only!), Then I distributed and sold it in a hostel for a year. Everyone is happy!
At my house, too, appeared bugs after the move. But my sister advised me to buy essential oils in pharmacies (which one, I don’t remember, I bought different ones) and sprinkle all over the house (sofa, bed, etc.) every day. She said that bugs die from steam and frost. It was just winter, I hung all the beds in the courtyard, and treated the sofas with a steam iron every day and squirted essential oils. Pah-pah, the bugs disappeared after that. And today I came from Almaty with all the red from the bites of bedbugs in 2 days. Now, again, I am worried about whether I grabbed bedbugs with a suitcase ...
Tin, much the same creature bite.
As I understand you, it is very difficult to get rid of them! If they are in the apartment of a multi-storey building, and you have mortified them with all sorts of toxic chemicals against bedbugs, thereby opening up the baseboards, the wall wallpaper is not a fact that you got rid of them. Before you start to starve them, go around the neighbors in your floor, upper and lower floors. Find out if anyone had these "vampires." Otherwise, everything will be confused, because they crawl from apartment to apartment. I got so fucked up - I eradicated 3 times, but it turned out that the neighbor on top (elderly grannies) had their dime a dozen, and then, she does not live above my apartment. It's a shame so much spending. Poison now dear to these bugs. Yes, and DICHLOPHOS does not help!
From bedbugs exactly karbofos will help. Dichlorvos are sold, but some with the smell of karbofos. Pshikayte different dichlorvos to klopiki did not get used to, for some reason, Russian-made dichlorvos act on them. For loyalty - Dohlox gel! In order not to spoil the furniture, put on the leaves of paper, lay out. Dichlofoste once a week. Maximum six months - will display. They are dying all die. Do not forget to crush the egg-laying, not a fingernail, but push.
Fell on bedbugs in a rented apartment. Already tried all sorts of means, but the impression is that they have resistance to all pyrethroids and even cypermethrin-containing drugs. Crayon "Masha" kills them, but not all. The same with other drugs. Examine active substance tables and insecticide formulations before purchasing.
Nevertheless, it is necessary to process them in order to reduce their number and localize. If you have warm-blooded animals or birds, give them to someone until you can deal with bedbugs. Do not torture them or yourself. Leave - you risk either poison, or the bugs will eat up on them and breed.
Be patient, get ready to overcome depression - any bugs that swell from their bites can be driven into depression from weakness in a few days.
The ferry will not process everything, but it will just ruin something. The option of moving and “waiting for them to die of hunger” is better not to try - the risk of transporting them with them is too great. The bugs are extremely tenacious, they have many different patterns of behavior (some bite almost in the open during sleep, others in the closed, some jump from the ceiling, the fourth bite even during the day, and so on).Adults without food can live their entire life - about 18 months. Fertilized females can delay the pregnancy and reproduce when food appears.
Next - free up enough space in the room. In this place on the floor you will sleep on an inflatable rubber mattress. We buy a special non-drying glue, for example, NoRat, such as from mice. Absolutely non-toxic, but so sticky that it is best not to wipe it off with fine salt. From wool - only solvent, or gasoline. Tapes from flies in general in the span - I tested, bugs are able to overcome them. You glue the floor along the contour with paper tape, apply a layer of this glue with a thickness of 2-3 mm on the tape. All the cracks and damage to the floor inside this circuit are taped with masking tape. If the floor is dark - think how to make it light, ideally almost white (yes even with a film). Inflate mattresses and sleep on them inside such contours. In the mornings, if there are bites, you look through the mattresses and bedding, and what is impossible to see is at least until evening in the freezer from -18 to -20. As an option - the oven, but it is extremely fire hazard. Make sure that everything has a good time to freeze.The idea is that the blood inside the drunken bug freezes and breaks it. They checked for themselves - in the same room it is “clean” for 4 months already.
That is, they themselves are a bait. There are no other baits for bedbugs! Patterns of behavior of bedbugs are very different, so carefully thought out the words "helps control the number of bedbugs." That is, some individuals and really climb into the bait, but others do not even pay attention to it.
Here they advise light clothes and light sheets. Sheets - practice has shown that in the morning we collected the maximum number of bedbugs from a dark burgundy sheet. Terry towels are also effective instead of pillows. If the floor is light and around the irresistible contour, then at least small and medium bugs hide in clothes and bedding. It is difficult to lure large ones - you need to wait about 1.5 months for them to get so hungry that they decide to cross the contour. Some stick, but not enough.
Chemistry, in my opinion, is ineffective and has a lot of side effects: allergies, drowsiness, increased hair loss, can be deadly for pets.
Make it so that they can freely get to you inside the contour, jumping from sofas, tables, other furniture, but back - only through glue. Even hungry bugs do not jump horizontally, and these 2-3 mm of glue are irresistible for them.
Another of the effective methods - to lure the bugs on the sofas, and then wrap the sofas with polyethylene, but without cracks. We cut off the rooms where they are, from the rest: glue strips are on the floor near the exits, and the usual plastic tape is on the walls, ceiling and furniture legs. The bugs slide over it.
If there are no obstacles, and you have not been bitten for at least a month already - then you can assume that you managed to deal with bedbugs. Periods of feeding for bedbugs - from daily for small to 5-7 days for adults, 30-day individuals. Remember that 20% of people do not even feel the bites. And the bugs bite them and reproduce successfully. Separate such people when you check, bugs are left, or have already died.
This summer we already got rid of this rubbish, but in October, it seems, from the neighbors, new ones came. Already asked, but it is natural that the neighbors will be silent and are unlikely to agree on weed bedbugs - they are more likely to be afraid of squabbles and lawsuits.The most stupid will blame you all and even will be threatened.
Here it is both good and bad that in fact no one can prove anything. The case when you just moved in, and hundreds of bedbugs lived there for several years, you can not even consider - it's hard not to notice them and not smell them when looking at an apartment.
I wish you strength and successful struggle with bedbugs!
Hello, I was at work and there were big bugs. There I had a rash. She came home, started to comb, itchy badly, swollen and red, all over her body. Tell me, are the bugs in my home now, or are these old bites?
The bugs are pipets!
Someone tell me - can there be bugs if I have not seen them at home? Can they (if exist) bite only in summer? In winter and spring there was nothing like this. Last summer, bites appeared, similar to bedbug bites - with terrible itching, to the blood. It was treated in the ARC for allergies. Nothing helped! Scary scratches and stains, like the bites of bedbugs. Moreover, one doctor said that this Helicobacter infection may manifest itself.But the little puncture hole was still on many “bites”. She was treated with a powerful antibiotic treatment for chronic bronchitis. It may be a coincidence, but the itching has gone and the spots have gone away 2 weeks after antibiotics. But! It is October by then. All winter and spring was all good. And here again - bites on the legs, itching, no strength. Increase every day for one or two bites. Antibiotics do not make sense to drink. In March, there was strong bronchitis - I had been drinking antibiotics for three weeks. That is, Helicobacter disappears. And again these bites.
At the neighbor kishmy cockroaches. Can bugs and cockroaches coexist with her? (I heard that they do not get along very well together). Can these bugs (if they have one) come at night, so to speak, to bite me and go back to the neighbor? )) I have no cockroaches - I smear finely near the entrance, kitchen, corridor, bath every week. In front of the entrance door, the fatty track is shallow. If I almost smear (more than 2 weeks), then I notice half-dead cockroaches. Answer please. There is no power - can bedbugs be in an apartment if I have not seen them ?! And can neighbors come to "bite"? And why only in the summer? Our house is completely built up around the perimeter - a bank, a shop, two cafes.
Indeed, bites are indistinguishable from mosquitoes, only in size and quantity more. Lived for 30 years, never faced with bedbugs. I rented a house in another city - and those are on. I wake up every morning - several new itchy tumors.
Hello, and can bedbugs be in kindergarten? Who faced, tell me.
Yes ... Good luck to us in the fight against them ...
Oh yeah. It's just a quiet horror, sneaking into the night. So clever creatures that even scary. I came to me about a month ago and, I must say, pretty much disturbing me. My father had an allergic reaction in general. Anaphylactic shock and big bumps all over the body. I have already told him many times that it is necessary to call specialists, and he is suspicious of me by nature and says that they will steal our things. I now do not know what to do. But I’m sure it’s impossible to launch this problem. Their population is growing rapidly, and this question is extremely thin. If you let them bite, they will be more, but they will be careful. If you do not give a bite and constantly run - they crawl into other rooms and then the area of infection will expand. So it was with me.Now these creatures are everywhere! It is necessary to convince the father to do the processing, to endure all this orgy, I do not intend to.
By the way, an interesting observation. At the very initial stage of detection of infection, I went through the whole sofa with insect spray. At night I went into the room and just fell into the sediment. They crawled like crazy all over the room and there were many unreal. Apparently, they woke up and realized that they were being bullied. Began to creep out rapidly. Three bugs generally sat on the ceiling plinth for about a week and watched us. Why nature has created such insidious, intelligent and insatiable creatures - a mystery ...
One and a half month suffered with itching, with sores. My girls have the same blistering rash. Passed all allergists, smeared with different ointments. No effect Then one nurse said it looked like bedbug bites. All night she guarded, sent the children to the sofa, and herself on the bed. What is most strange, the eldest son and the baby did not have such blisters. Observations did not help. Well, everything, I thought, it means that we have some kind of impassable allergy. Satisfied, I decided to look under the sofa at lunch. Peeked - clean, but suddenly saw buckwheat husks.I was surprised, because I recently washed the floors and did not prepare food from buckwheat. I looked closely - I see the legs, and it stinks. I'm hysterical. Then let's look into the cracks of the sofa, and there they ... It was a horror!
Called specialists. A week later, again. I am so ashamed and ashamed in front of the children, as I did not see them. In life, she did not come across them, and did not know that there is such an abomination. Still disgust, disgust. Things in public places do not lie. 23 days have passed since the second treatment. Well, like, there are no blisters, nothing itches. We lost the sofa, in six months we will only take a new one. Fear interferes. Bedbugs lived in a sofa, and there they slept a son with a daughter. The son was not bitten, and his daughter was bitten. So be careful, now the epidemic of bedbugs. Take care of yourself and your loved ones!
Do not try to poison the bugs themselves, it is useless (a waste of energy, nerves and money)! Call professionals, and get rid of forever!
Well, why can not poison, you can! The complete destruction of bugs and their eggs is achieved by fully heating the entire room infected with parasites to a temperature not lower than +48 degrees Celsius for 6-8 hours.
Also very appropriate is the use of nuclear bombs, stun grenades, arson of neighbors' apartments, followed by harassment of pyrethroids in their apartment! But in general, comrades, do not be particularly upset. If the problem is approached more carefully and wisely, then everything is possible.
