bed bugs part 2

[jack-bauer]

I should clarify my previous question about bed mites. I had to throw my bed out this morning as it was infested by brown/reddish bed mites(the type the suck your blood, while you're asleep). How long should i wait b4 i can sleep in my room again? And have i eradicated the problem now?

I suggest you contact a professioanl pest controller and get them to give your whole house some treatment - to be sure you have eradicated the problem, rather than simply slowing it down a little.

No, you certainly haven't eradicated the problem. As Andy suggests - you MUST contact a pest controller. The council will fumigate your place for free (non-toxic, biodegradable in our area.) Bedbugs live in tiny cracks in walls, furniture etc, not in your bed, and there really isn't any other way to get rid of them. If you've actually seen them in your bed in numbers, you have a heavy infestation. Do it ASAP - they're tough critters and breed fast.
