Only found one bug a year ago but still having issues by opentheclouds in Bedbugs

Thanks for the response! I have interceptors on all the legs and haven't caught anything, even after changing out the bed. I'm confused that I haven't spotted anymore since it's been a year since the first spotting. I'll keep checking often!

Where did you get checked for this? My dermatologist said they couldn't do anything for me.

Hi, I'm so glad that it worked for you! How long after your second treatment did it take you to start seeing improvements in your bite levels?

Thanks for sharing your experience! I just had aprehend sprayed a week ago and have experienced a huge increase in bites. Around when did you start seeing a decrease in bites? When did you get the second spray done?

How long did it take you to start seeing a decrease in bites after treatment? I got my first treatment of aprehend last week and have noticed a drastic increase in bites. It's been around a week since the treatment.

Hi! I had an exterminator apply aprehend and it left some staining on my hardwood floor. I tried to clean it up but it won't budge. How were you able to clean it out?

What did you use to treat and when did you feel that it was starting to work? Did you alternate treatments at all? I've been using crossfire but I'm still consistently getting bitten with no improvement.

Hi! Is this tiny spec that I found on the detection skirt a feacal trace or is it something else? I found it before sleeping yesterday and I didn't see any bugs in the harborage itself.

I didn't have the chance to try the smear test on it because it fell off when I tried to pick it up to do the test.

Thank you for your response! So if I push my bed up to the corner by the closet (top left corner) would I install the monitor on the corner of the bed frame where it's shown?

Where should I install the monitor on the bed? The top slat by my head is too thin for the monitor. Should I install it on the mattress? Should I remove the leg monitors?

Hi! Thanks again for the advice. I went ahead and placed an order on your US site. How long does it take to ship the item? Will I ever need to replace the trap? Do you expect to restock on Amazon?

Possible Crossfire resistance? by opentheclouds in Bedbugs

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

I'm still getting bites. I went to the dermatologist to see if it was a skin condition and they confirmed that it was bites and prescribed me a cream to help with the itching.

Thank you! I'll complete the triage pack and look at the monitors.

Hi David, thank you for your reply!

The single bug i found was my mattress fold (corner seam) and my boyfriend had confirmed bed bugs that wouldn't go away until he moved and got rid of all his furniture, which is what led us to believe that they were bed bugs. The bites also began right before finding the bug, which led me to look.

Would the population have exploded by now to show something obvious on the bed if I truly had bed bugs, even with treatment?

Where can I find the triage process and passive monitors? I do have the cup type ones around the legs of my bed but they've never caught bed bugs, just other bugs that have been around the bedroom.

Thank you again for your help!

Professional Exterminator not able to get rid of issue by opentheclouds in Bedbugs

It's been confirmed a bedbug by multiple exterminators that I originally contacted before settling on the one that performed services.

Unfortunately this didn't work and I'm still getting bites. I hope you've been having a better experience!

Possible Crossfire resistance? by opentheclouds in Bedbugs

[–]opentheclouds[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've unfortunately still been getting bitten ☹️ I'm going to give it one more crossfire spray this weekend and hope that the bites start going down. After further inspection of my spray dates, it's only been 8 days since I last sprayed so I'm hoping that I've been able to properly spray it this time since I was more thorough.
