Do bed bugs really exist?

Bed bugs definately are real. I've never had them, but my cousin who lives in NY is infested with them. I was reading in our local newspaper that there seems to be an epidemic of them. The stuff they used to use to keep them away is no longer used for health purposes. It was called Deet, so there is a surge of them here lately. From what I understand, once you get them they are nearly impossible to get rid of and you can get them from just about anywhere, hotels, a friends house, etc. You might want to call in a professional to have a look

Hi there! I feel for you and I know that these little things are real. Although the babies (newly hatched ones) are almost clear and too small to see with the naked eye - the adults grow to be the size of about an apple seed and they do not move fast enough to be missed. If you have bed bugs in your bed, more in likely there would be adults in there that you could see. While some of the bites from the bed bugs cannot be seen, most are extremely itchy and produce a small swollen welt area at the area where you were bitten. Alot of the methods used to get rid of bed bugs does not completely work and if you have them, only professionals can get the job done right. If you do not see bed bugs in your bed or your itchy spots do not welt up and become swollen, then you may just have developed an allergy to your sheets, the fabric, the laundry soap or fabirc softener, or even the material that the mattress itself is made of. Even if you didn't have these allergies before, doesn't mean that you can't develop them later. Hope everything works out! Good luck!!!!

There are bed bugs but they are microscopic to say the least. You should get those bed sheets washed if you really want the itch to lessen I guess.

Hi Kiran hope u must be doing fine well sure bed bugs exist and i have witnessed them almost 20-25 yrs back, where i used to live in northern area of Pakistan, it was tool cold there so we used to have bed bug and the way to get rid of them at that time was Put the bed in Sun and they ran away. but now i am sure if u clean ur bed regulary. have sunny room and use insectiside then u can get rid of them as i know how irritating they can be Take care and wish u best of Luck Regards

Yes, there is such a thing as bed bugs. You need to change your sheets and then before putting them back on vaccum your bed. I know that sounds crazy, but it actually works. I worked for a company that sold special vaccum cleaners and you would be surprised at just what comes out of the beds when you vaccum them. give it a try and do it often. you will see a tramatic difference. good luck and God bless

When i was a little girl my mother and I were cleaning out from behind my bed, She reached down and pulled out a handfull of dust and woolies. In the ball of dirst she held in her hand were small black bugs that looked like ants. They were not in my bed but rather behind the bed next to the wall. The only way I know how to get rid of these bugs, after scouping them up in clumps of dirt of course, is to keep your room clean and dust and dirt free. I have never heard of anything like this or of anyone with actual bugs in their bed. But, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite ;)

Airing your bed is a good old fashion method for both bedbugs and dustmites.
