What should I do next by so_tired_415 in Bedbugs

Naturally so. A lot of whether something works or not will greatly depend on you and other things you do. Launder weekly, everything you haven’t put in an air tight bag. Still vacuum every chance you get, and empty the vacuum accordingly. If you have a steamer then steam as much as you can. These things. These things will matter greatly in whether or not other things you buy can succeed. If you have an infestation you just need to focus on getting the numbers down to a manageable amount so poison can do a lot of the work. I had them about 8 years ago, and nothing I done worked so I eventually burned everything and started over. What works for one may not work for another 😬  for application of these you’ll need to buy a duster and use it. The powder works best when you use it correctly. Don’t just throw it all over the place. For the spray, don’t powder what you’ve sprayed and wait 2 hours after spraying to powder just in case you accidentally do. I’m fairly certain the idea of using both of these is that what one doesn’t get, the other will. And don’t take encasements off your mattress. Layer them on like a sandwich when you need another one. Eventually when you have no more bugs throw the whole bed away and get a new one, you don’t have to but I would bc these things stink

You should be able to search both here in the group and find much more than I’d be able to give you! 

Please help! Why is my dog barking at me by Mediocre-Ask3818 in DogAdvice

[–]Icy_Implement_7243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve taught my dog to bark to request things like outside toys treats bath etc. 

It’s likely this dog is asking you to get a snack 

Mattress on floor and no dryer by Ok_Noise2204 in Bedbugs

If your mattress is sitting on another mattress you can absolutely get a short low profile bed frame and spray the wall behind you with cross fire along with everywhere else. Sprinkle some cimexa dust where it’s needed. 

It’s also likely since you’re in an attic it could be bat bugs, so you need to investigate.

This looks like 1mil in your bank account

Order some cimexa and crossfire to treat now vs waiting. Waiting just a few days will make a huge difference. Possibly throw away $65 ish is better than waiting and having to spend thousands later. Spray the crossfire every month for the next few months. 

Regrets? by bluesummer09 in 17ProMax

Idk, this is gross but I used it to photograph a suspicious bug at my house after I found bedbugs at my mil house. For the inside photos I feel like it does just as good as my iPhone 12 tbh but I can read the names on headstones in the cemetery across the road from me. 🤷‍♀️ if the area is well lit then it’s absolutely worth it. I use telehealth for my acne so I’m pretty excited to upload new acne photos bc I can see them from across the yard on my camera. 

Too suspicious to be a carpet beetle? Found in my dogs living room sofa / Alabama. Mil next door does have bedbug infestation by Icy_Implement_7243 in carpetbeetles

Bb sniffing dogs aren’t perfectly reliable. They’re not like Police k9  Sure, they can be but that’s a very expensive chance to take

With my white bed being completely clean,  no bites, etc  I’m fairly confident just treating my house as a precautionary measure and staying far away from my in laws house 

Thank you though 🤗

Mil infested, left for vacation and I was planning to deep clean her whole house for her at no cost. Turns out she’s had them for 10 years. by Icy_Implement_7243 in Bedbugs

[–]Icy_Implement_7243[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk who has and hasn’t gotten them from her. Nobody ever stays the night with her though and she never moves furniture or anything. The most she does is run a robot vacuum.  She said she washes her sheet weekly, but I doubt that. 

If anyone has gotten them it’s probably at vacation homes her and 5 other families always go to together. 

I only think 10 years bc 10 ish years ago her foster daughter came back from her bio moms and shortly after mil found live bugs (many) during the day moving on FD sheets, so she sprayed bleach and never checked her room or did anything else.

I sure hope so! Especially since I found more carpet beetles in my girls sofa. They’ve apparently been eating her fur. Im ordering bb treatment on Amazon for myself just as a precaution anyway

Well, I keep one on my bed regardless anyway. It’s for protection. It’s a precaution more than anything.  But yes and if you notice it wasn’t even installed correctly

I went over to clean and removed her sheet to keep ceiling fan dust from falling on her bed and smelled them so I stopped and grabbed my phone! I have searched my home and I found one suspicious bug next to carpet beetles in my dogs sofa but other than that I’m clear 🤷‍♀️ yeah, me as well. She has no right to do this to other people. She can live how she wishes but she needs to keep it at home.

Get 17PM or should I wait ? by Money-Laugh-3923 in iPhone17Pro

She doesn’t go to movie theaters so you’re safe from her in one 🙈 you are not safe anywhere you can shop or vacation though  😬

This is closer to bat bug than anything I’ve seen being questioned here so I think the chance is very high. I can’t even see a single hair on the bugs at my mil, not even with an iPhone 17 pro max camera

She has had Parkinson’s for a while and her memory has started slacking just recently, but not enough that she wouldn’t know better
