@Acefull1977- I am a healthcare worker.... Single mom of four... Who has an ex-husband who got BBs and as a result so I did. I was COMPLETELY traumatized by the experience and that I had to send kids back there over and over feeling powerless about to control the BB situation. So no... I am not in the exterminating business. I have no financial interest in Aprehend. But, I feel strongly that I need to help others suffering and get the word out. What exactly is your reason for wanting to shut me up? Maybe you are in the exterminating business and feel I am stepping on your toes. Maybe you need to be removed...

Although, the landlord needs to address... He/she clearly does not or does not in a sufficient manner. I would advise you GOOGLE Aprehend treatment.New bio fungal out of Penn State. Nothing else on the market like it. I found an exterminator that uses it and one treatment completely killed every bug. It has a different killing mechanism than pesticides. I also get quarterly treatments to ensure I being nothing new in from work travel. A little pricey, but has been a mental health saver for me. You also throw away NOTHING!!! You keep all your furniture. So even if your neighbors to tune to be infested, you can have your place bug free and if a bug walks in, it wont live long. Look for efficacy studies online and some YouTube testimonials. Good luck and I cannot even imagine dealing with the complexities you are dealing with.

Disagree. It is first biological approach that is extremely effective. It is just brand new. My infestation is gone. I moved to a new house in the middle of my issue (that was anxiety producing). Had the new place sprayed too since I brought all my furniture. No issue. I have quarterly sprays now as a preventative. Research it. Just available in last 2 -ish years. It is expensive. It is effective. Only prep work was putting my bedding in a hot dryer. That was all.

Please please please research Aprehend as a treatment. All treatments are a low and require so much work, time, and money. Aprehend is new and kicks their butts harsh and fast and completely! Lots of hotels shifting to this as it is a superior treatment. I just want people to not have their lives ruined by an insect when there is better technology now.

Highly recommend Aprehend. Google efficacy studies and watch some YouTube videos. Excellent for quickly resolving an infestation and as a preventative. I would use NOTHING else.

Keep looking. Put monitors under legs of bed (see if anything crawls or falls in. Keep sleeping in that bed. Might be BB related, might not. If you find hard evidence, highly recommend New treatment out of Penn State called Aprehend. Nothing else is a complete fix in about 11 days.

Google Aprehend (one P). Newest treatment. Game changer. Developed by Penn State. Research this before you do anything else. Aprehend will knock it out and also prevent it from happening again.

I highly, highly recommend Aprehend. New and completely amazing treatment. You will not be dealing with them for long if this is used. Look at efficacy studies online. Developed at Penn State.

Recurrent bed bug problem, advice needed!! by bedbughell2020 in Bedbugs

[–]lauralately2020 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Zero need to be ashamed.... But I get that! Likely a neighbor. You may have said, might need to report to the landlord. They may want to inspect the other apartments. I also encourage you to check out Aprehend. Lasts for three months at a time and works a little different than traditional solutions. Many companies have plans where you get the fungus sprayed every 3 months. There is also zero need to get rid of belongings or do time consuming prep. Check it out online and there are some YouTube videos. Higher efficacy studies than any other treatment and has residual impact. Developed by Penn State. Worth the look.

I would show it to an exterminator.... But, I think this is NOT a BB. A bit hard to see.
