- FOLLOW ME ON TWITTER: @JWhiteBBTV - In this episode Jeff will explain the areas on a bed you should inspect if you want to inspect your bed for bed bugs. As information spreads about bed bug infestations on the rise, more and more people want to inspect their bed for bed bugs. This episode will walk you through a bed inspection and the critical areas you should look if you want to inspect your bed for bed bugs. Please be aware that a visual inspection can be unreliable when trying to detect low level infestations of bed bugs. Therefore, if you perform an inspection and don't find any bed bugs, it does not necessarily mean you don't have bed bugs in your home. A knowledgeable professional should always be contacted if you think you may have bed bugs.
I don’t see why people are being so mean, he’s not doing anything but trying to help, I personally like this guy and felt he was helpful
Yh
You are so sweet Jenny.
He was so professional sounding like it was.... fake like watching the news weatherman
Thank you
I feel the same way Jenny.
Also, if you think you have bedbugs, something that is pretty simple, yet effective, is that you can take a role of clear, packaging duck tape, and outline the bottom of your box springs and mattress (with sticky side on the outside), and if when those little bastards come sneaking out during the night to get their free blood meal, their legs will get stuck on the tape, and be trapped. Use push pins to secure the tape. I tried this on my sisters apartment, and after the 2nd night, we found like 10 bedbugs that got stuck on the tape....just a thought...
That is a great idea
u the man baby!!

ProgressiveMetal777..Thank you for the that tip
Use bags of lavender seeds in between sheets and in pillows. All smells of lavender scent deter bed bugs from mating. Like lavender, Vick Rub deter bugs too. Put some Vick Rub on paper tissues and crumple up the papers and place them in bed.
Buy yourself dustmite-proof covers for your mattresses.
In mornings, open windows and expose your sheet to cool air by pulling back blankets or quilt. Use fresh Vick Rub on tissues, and lavender seeds and lavender oil.
Ok, I gotta stop watching videos about bed bugs! Fuck, I feel like they're crawling all over me now.
they probably are, bed bugs are an epidemic
hexagon523 snap haha don't watch the head lice one its even worse!!!
you are an idout
Hope Sleesman you can't even spell idiot wich makes you one.
hexagon523 im ready to blow my brsins out
I’ve never encounter this bug in my life until recently. My father rented out one of our bedroom to his friend’s worker. That worker left after few months and my brother moved in, that’s where all the nightmares start.
At first, he found out both of his leg were full of red rashes and were like bitten by some sort of insect but he didn’t know what has bitten him.
Until one of the night when he is laying still on the bed, he feel something is “crawling” on his leg and he managed to caught one of the bed bug.
The next day, he check his room and found out there are lots of bugs were sticking at the back of his mattress. And finally we got to know these bugs are so called bed bugs.
He throws away his mattress and bed frame. He changed to a foldable plastic bed frame and bought a new mattress. Although he changed the sleeping bed, but he was still got bitten at night. That nasty bugs somehow found their ways and has spread to my room! 😭😭😭
I was bitten at night and got allergy reaction until my wounded area are all swollen. Since then, I’ve kept my lights on whenever I’m sleeping and I was so stressed out because I don’t really had enough rest.
Unable to get pest control service because of the pandemic lockdown. I’ve googled and read a lot of bed bugs articles online. Try numerous method like spraying essential oil, spreading DE powder, put insect sticky traps under my bed, spray bed bugs repellent on my bed, wardrobe, drawer, wall. The bed bugs reduced but still I got bitten at night.
After reading a lot of information in internet. I’ve decided I should bought a high temperature/pressure steam + vacuum machine to treat the bed bugs. I started to steam + vacuum my whole room and my bed. Double steam all of my clothes, wrapped my bed frame with few layer of plastic film, soak all my mattress cover in hot boiled water to kill all the potential bed bugs egg.
The whole process took me more than a month. Every night, I will steam + vacuum my whole bed and floor an hour before I get on my bed.
And I’m glad I’m finally bed bug free.
Just need to be very thorough when doing all the cleaning and it take times.
I feel you 😭😭😭😭 I am struggling getting rid the bugs noww..still doing hope it will be reducing
Rule number one never ever move to a wood floored home
@@ernailyani811 Sorry for knowing this. It really take a lot of patient when dealing with the bugs, I hope you will get rid of them soon.
I have them too. It is nothing but a littoral nightmare. I hate them.
You did a good job, persistence is key. I did the same and it took about 5/6 weeks to get bug free. I also used a LOT of 90+% alcohol spray.
For this being an 11 year old video it's pretty good quality
just Burn the house Down,
yeah
Allen Tapanes Hahaha! no kidding
Allen Tapanes your right just do that to solve the problem
Allen Tapanes hell yea 😂once they come like they always there
Lol,also I'm going to a house,I might do that
Bed bugs suck... Once you get them it seems like everybody judges you and looks at you like your trashy
+Kamil Polak actually I never had them before... It's just one of my biggest fears... Because once you have them people avoid you like your a trashy filthy person that has poor hygiene... Especially if your in school because your school has to know and everybody in the whole entire school gets alerted on the announcements... Kinda like lice
+Lloyd Kuijs lol me too
David Moore yeah but that doesn't mean people won't judge you... as soon as people find out you had bed bugs they avoid you like Ebola
Bryan Sturgill 💿 of my vhvv the most of the
DefCon 2013 keynote
I want to throw out everything in my room even valuable items I don’t even care anymore I feel crawling all over my body but cant find any bugs and I feel itchy everywhere too and there are bumps everywhere. Its terrible
Did u get rid of them, how?
Abia Toxef I think they went away on their own, I have no idea what that was lol
Good luck with that
Damn I always get bitten while awake and I never saw the fuckers yet. Going to steam the fuck outta them today
@@bublik11 same bro. Go get em
In my bed bug research this Jeff white fellow has the most thorough and clear explanation and instructions for bed bug behavior and treatment. well done Jeff
thank you

Me: *scratches bed bug bites on feet, while watching the video*
Me: scratches bedbug bites all over being while watching video
Literally me rn
@Reece A you are Soo wrong.
England is heaven for them.i once visited England from India. Found them all over the bed in hotel. I was sleeping in the sitting position on the dining table of the hotel. I did this for 2 weeks and then I was back to my country heaven.
@EMIL ATIĆ Bed bugs came from Europe
My life right now 😩
thank you, the comments on this video are pretty innocent but some of the other videos I have on youtube the comments get nasty (I find them amusing) so it's nice to hear a positive comment from time to time
Bed Bug TV thanks. Very helpful video
What the, why did you get nasty comments? That's so weird. Thank you for the video
Thank you for the valuable information 💗
Thanks for video 👍 I appreciated it, very informative and not everyone is brave to make videos of this type
IF YOUR watching this at 4am stop now.
Holy shit looked at the comment then checked time and its exactly 4am...
@@Artificialwealthcreation same what the hell
@@mhj626 thats crazy dude, im honestly scared to check but ive been getting bite marks recently
It's 4:40Am wtf
442am
God damn it’s 2am and I’m right here. Found one on my shirt as I went to the bathroom and another one during a quick inspection. I need some sleep...work early and I can tell I’m in for a loooooong day.
I create deadly gas and kill them in an hour in my place
@@robrobski9445 what did u eat to create that deadly gas?
You say bed bugs don't generally go on the bed frames. But in my case I knew there were bed bugs but I could not find them, it happens to be they were hiding inside where the metal meets the wheel. Around 50 bugs in each wheel. Those sukers are a master in hiding.
I love this guy. Lol he's very clear , thorough, funny, and easy to understand.
Those wall panels are heaven for bed bug eggs. Especially in the lines. Ugh those bloodsuckers are a nightmare
its pads the sharp edges on the bed frame from ripping and tearing the bed encasements that are on the box spring, the felt is a very important part of encasing your bed as it greatly extends the life of encasements
The fact the bed bugs I had made a whole 4 hour trip to me and a 4 hour trip to the bottom of my bed is dedication that I don’t have. Anyway we threw out our hold bed frame and matress and now I’m traumatized
Thanks for the info (12 years later)!
As a professional cleaner I appreciate you making this video to give some idea as to how to look for bed bugs in customer homes. At least I can to a visual inspection now with some degree of training behind me.
I actually found one following this video, tried to grab it with a chain saw and think i need a new mattress
HA HA
All these comments have me busting a gut!
In all honesty, I thought bed bugs didn't actually exist and we're just a joke made up for some reason. Maybe it's because they are just called "bed" bugs.
Lol same with me I didn't think they were real I thought it was just a joke parents used when you were younger and in movies.
Holy shit you replied to a 6 year old comment. But anyway. Bed bugs are the mist common human parasite.
They are too annoying
I never knew "advertorial" was a word. Thank you Jeff!
the person that's recorded this video's nose is whistling...I thought I was doing it at first
I hear it too lol
lol i thought it was my husband tgat was taking a nap next to me
+nerdgant we actually laugh about it and referenced it the other day when we were filming a new video....classic
Lol!!
The heck just! I thought it was me too!
Hey Jeff, great information. Keep up the good work!
2:16 Look at the top of the mattress in the piping and the label
3:39 lift the mattress and look in the piping on the bottom
4:05 look in the piping on top of the box springs.
4:25 look at the bottom of the box springs.
Great video. While checking the bed, it's also good to spray few seconds inside the boxspring with household insecticide, baygon or similar, if no bed bugs are visible after inspection. If they are hiding there, spraying won't probably kill them, but makes them come move around within an hour.
yes, they can infest just about anything inside the home but most commonly are found in the beds and the furniture and items surrounding the bed (i.e. nightstands, items under the bed, etc...)
I live in an old and unsanitary residence building. I found a bed bug crawling on me. I took all my sheets and everything off, shook everything off that I can't wash right away so I can sleep without worse anxiety... I examined every single item on my bed, including seams on the mattress (which is disgusting by the way, covered in stains and food, I hate this place but I'm stuck here until the end of the semester), and found no other bed bugs. Maintenance is going to come do something in a few days. I did find a hole in the cover of the mattress though, and I put tape over it lol to relieve my anxiety overnight. Maybe they live INSIDE the mattress??? I really don't know. I am now paranoid and am leaving bad reviews everywhere I can on where I am staying.
Yes they live inside, block the hole or purchase a mattress cover…
Oh not my priceless plastic end caps!
It 12 am and I'm scared of falling asleep
AlejandroN2r2 OMG HERE HERE!!
Me too...now I know how they felt on Nightmare on Elm street.
9 years ago damn
Omar Aziz damn rip
It’s 4am for me these fckers are keeping me awake
I have bites on my arms, hands and fingers that itch since the beginning of summertime. I thought they were misquote bites. But no one I knew had them as bad as me. One of the first things my fiancé and I did was check our bed for bed bugs. And we didn’t see anything. So i posted a photo of my arm with the bites on a Ulcerative Colitis group I’m a part of since I have that disease. Some guy told me they look like bed bug bites because his girlfriend had the same thing. I went to our bed again to get ready for bed and sure enough there was 8 tiny bugs crawling on top of our sheet. So I killed them by smashing them and once they were dead we took the sheet off our bed and looked all over and no bed bugs anywhere on the mattress or box spring. I’m sleeping on an air mattress and my fiancé is sleeping on the couch for now. I read online you can buy a mattress protectors for bed bugs that you’re supposed to leave on for 1 year and it will help kill any bed bugs you currently have and prevent any new ones. It cost $20-$30 depending on the size of your mattress. We are getting that the next time we go to Walmart.
Beautifull ideas. I never thought of that. Thank you so much. You are great.
Watching these videos makes me glad I have a bunk bed and no box spring
i jave 1 thats spring and rest memory foam
Best hand movements I've ever seen :P Great vid, thank you so much. About to go frantically check my bed, wish me luck!
this actually helped ny doing this i found 24 bed bugs and i think that was the last of it cause i fell nothing anymore. thanks :)
I just threw out my roomates couch because I saw a bedbug running on it and when we pulled it away from the wall and inspected the seams I found/killed about a dozen medium or big sized ones. The couch is now out of the house and ive cleaned up the wood laminate floor surrounding the area and inspected the beds upstairs, everything else seems clear, I hope I caught and got rid of it before it spread anywhere else or got worse!
that was my favorite comment ever on any of the videos I've shot, absolutely classic
I love how Micheal Scott is sitting in the quintessential room that would harbor a massive infestation. Those wooden walls man are a nightmare
Bed Bug Removal
I started to notice some bites in January of this year but new nothing about killing bed bugs. To prepare I watched video after video showing the different methods of removing them. I could not afford a professional service so I did this.
I waited until we had a forecast high of 115F or 45C. I did this so the bugs could not go deep into the walls and survive. With the outside temperature hot enough to kill them on its own, I blasted the heat and fans inside. I held between 122 and 126 for almost 8 hours in my trailer using the excessive temperature to kill. I used heat from three 1500 watt baseboard heaters. Then instead of renting big fans at about $40.00 per day I bought a 20 inch or 50 cm box fan from Canadian Tire for the same price to add to the 5 household fans I already own. If your area is larger buy more fans. I had plans to buy three box fans but they were sold out because of our heat wave. For me this was OK because I have a floor standing air conditioner and used the fan to compensate. With a combination of laundering and heat drying all fabrics, including all bedding and clothes, then heating my place up to a sufficient temperature, I am now bug free.
People remember heat treatments work best at the hottest part of the year when bugs can not find holes in the vapor barrier and crawl near the outer wall to stay safe, because the outside temperatures are too hot for that option. In winter heat will not work for this reason, but during hot days it is pretty much a sure kill, if you have enough heat and fans. Hope this helps some of you as well as it did me. My total cost for laundry, fans and power, was about $190.00 and I now own all the fans. The heaters I already owned. If you need to buy them this of course this will up costs. To give you an idea my trailer is my holiday trailer and the floor area is 200 sq. ft. Scale your equipment up as needed.
If it happens again I am now prepared in full .
What do you use the fans for?
.
@@007nadineL Fans force the hor air into small places of dead air heating them and not leaving any pockets unheated where bugs can survuve.
I have them and I caught an adult and that thing moved fast! The only reason I caught it is because I was already holding a piece of packing tape. I caught it as it ran by. It moved in a funny way, too, kind of "ambled" while it ran. But I also caught a tiny baby one that was not moving at all. You should google pictures and compare it to the pictures. They can look different and be different sizes depending on their stage. The most helpful picture I found showed them at a variety of stages.
I wonder why a person would dislike this video?
Exactly. I thought he was a nice guy and very informative.
13 year old video still the most helpful video on how to check the box spring because every other video focuses on the mattress…. Thank you this was very helpful
That guy remains me of me lol switched on man at job at hand! Well done.
Well now I will throw my mattress out of the window!
I wonder if bed bugs get spread to hotels more because of people staying in them when they have bed bugs. I can see that it's tempting to go stay in a hotel if you think you have them, but I think it's really inconsiderate because you could have them on your clothes or belongings and just take them to a hotel and then spread it to tons of people. I got an air mattress and moved to the living room and haven't gotten bitten out there.
I found out a woman 2 floors up was infested and it didn't help that I lived next to the laundry room (they could fall out of someones laundry basket and creep into my place). I brought anything made of fabric to the laundrymat and put everything in the dry on high, steamed the shit out of all the furniture, vacuumed everyday (took the vacuum outside to change the bags) and bought a new mattress set and encased them with bed-bug covers. Haven't seen once since (except for one carcass).
Great information on how to look for bed bugs!
it is currently 2:26 i saw a bug at 12:00 and i have ben looking at different pictures wondering if i have them. but one thing is for sure im not sleeping in my room tonight
BillNyeTheNaziSpy its 12:00 now and i stg i cant tell if this small bug was one or not fml
Don’t start sleeping in another room, you’ll only attract them to you and infest that area too! They can ‘home in’ from 30m away in one night! They don’t spread disease, thank God, so stick with it and tackle them where you find them. That’s the science, so I’ve heard.
Same
If you have them, they’re everywhere someone sleeps..
BillNyeTheNaziSpy its been 3 years, did you ever get rid of them?
I see bedbugs in my metal bedframe ALL THE TIME. Sometimes that's the only place they hide. Its very secure and private for them, and its rough lifting your whole bed out of it.
update, if anyone cares or would find it useful: i used a steamer meant for clothes and steamed out each spot i found an infestation. then vaccuumed up the bodies. sprayed windex on the area for good measure to make sure the bugs+eggs were dead. havent seen any for 2 days but i will keep an eye out.
i also put my beddings in the dryer first on a hot cycle for 20 mins to make sure that if any were hiding in the sheets, theyre dead.
Bought a second hand bed. Thanks for this
Bedbugs usually visit you 5 times in their life cycles-they get bigger and darker as they age, but they are quite small and light when they first bite. By the way they are one of the few insects that feed their young.
I'm so GLAD I bought a memory foam mattress and metal bed frame. That was the best decision ever!
Why memory foam is the best decision?
I have a a memory foam topper but I saw a bug on it last night and I have had a rash
Reece A that’s not how proof works
Mine was not bed bugs it was a carpet beetle that I was allergic too
Holley87 Green eyes no one asked
Very clear information. Thanks.
Great job on this video. Very informative and helpful.
it's tough for one person to comment about another persons reactions, everybody reacts differently and reactions aren't a good way to determine if you have a problem or not, I would recommend seeing a dermatologist because the reaction only lasting 15-20 minutes isn't consistent with most other descriptions I've received
this guy kinda reminds me of dewie from malcom in the middle
lol kinda
true
Yeah it looks like him
LoL Crispytreat no. Mr bean
That's incredible. I thought the EXACT SAME THING.
What is it about him I wonder? It's the talking, it's got to be.
I have the same bed and box spring in this video.... I have bed bugs & idk if I've ever seen one. I've seen carpet beetles, fleas, spiders, silverfish, and maybe mites. Anyways, all I saw were black spots and red spots. There were tons under the box spring. But the worst place..... were my 3 curtains hanging next to my bed. It looked so bad with all the spots.
Encasing the mattress, box spring, and pillow in cheap $9 vinyl cases helps a lot. Make sure to duct tape the zipper line. GL! It's war!
That wood wall would be a nightmare.
Thanks dude. Now I´m gonna sleep on the floor.
Step one. Don't sit on a bed you think might have bed bugs.
Jess Britt Lol I didn’t sleep for 3 days
It's a practice matress... maybe try listening to him before you start "correcting" him
Inspect your hotel bed. Keep your case on the case stand. If you live in a area there’s Airbnb flats. Or guest houses.
Step two, bed bugs are in the grass outside, in storage rooms and on pets etc. If someone has them in their home they should warn guests for damn sure!!!
Or you could get a bug spray that will kill them
Good practical video. Thanks for putting it up.
I find liberally dousing my bedding with gasoline and setting it afire just a few moments prior to retiring for the evening is an excellent method of keeping bedbugs under control.
Great idea lol
I have been getting bit at night for about a month and I looked at my bed but my eyesight isn’t that good and I thought I was having allergic reactions to my meds so I had the doctor look and she just said to take Benedryll which didn’t help then I had a idea to get a strong flashlight and inspect my mattress . Those things were all over my bed and I didn’t even know . Now I start the long process of cleaning and getting a new bed . I checked my couch also and the blanket on it had a big bed bug so I watched this video and I am not in good health at all so my daughter is helping me but I am 58 and never seen a bed bug . They are terrible and I would not wish those things on anyone . The video helped me a lot so I will let my daughter check my new mattress 2 times a week because I am allergic to those things . Disgusting creatures .
110 degrees will push the bugs off of the mattress, meaning they will try to escape, therefore if you get the mattress off of the ground that temperature will probably flush bugs off of the mattress but it will not kill any eggs that may be on it
How do you kill the eggs?
I saw a bed bug crawling on me 💀 I flicked that thing so fast across my room and now idk where it is I’m scared.
-ATENTION- I just got free of it on 6 diffrent rooms. The secret that was missing after extermination and throw all the forniture to the garbage... was to put an eléctric extension with three entries and isolate all the eléctric terminals with silicon, before that the treatments were not resulting they were protected inside the wall on the NET electrical cables 👍 they can survive up to 1 year without feeding, so remember to check that silicone sometimes. This process saved my business.
Thx Jeff. We are not taking any chances, getting sprayed tomorrow again and having him back 2 weeks after that. Then I think it is off to a psychiatrist, LOL!!! Will keep you posted! Thanks again! - Sue D'Angelo (using my son's account, he was the one who slept at a friends and brought them home, so it's only fair!) LOL!
My mother had them 6 months ago it cost her $2700 to have cleared. I am now extremely pairnoid. I had a pco come out to my new apartment because I had bits on my legs. The pco said he found nothing but spiders. He sprayed for the spiders. I know he looked and found nothing but I am still freaked out. I check my bed daily and just order a moniter. I would like to take his word for it but I can't.
Puts a bed right next to wood, a door and a frame. Yes sir, you really made the perfect spot for the bugs to hide.
You share excellent channel! Great information.
My parents have an Extremely heavy bed, so thats a relevant tip. Also, with any subject one is looking into, more than one source is always required. He doesn't talk about look or size of the bugs but this is still a helpful video. In fact, from all the other videos I've watched, other than not speculating on their appearances, this has been the most organized, step by step. Others tend to focus Only on how ugly the little bastards are so there's plenty of those. Thanks for the info.
I have bed bugs and the only reason the pest control confirmed it is because I caught some under clear packing tape. I live in an apartment, so I don't get to choose the pest control company. Of the two guys sent out here, both tried to find them just by looking and neither could. I guess the bed bug inspection dog they have is just for show, to attract business. If I hadn't caught them, I bet they would have told me I didn't have them, even though I got lots of bites, some in a row.
I am so glad I sleep in a hammock.! Were I work, with 260 beds and that will increase by 65 in two months, we have to treat 2 - 4 rooms daily.
Thanks! I found 13 of them - close call, Jeff!
2:00 "an actual bed itself" lol
The bed bugs that I find on my mattress look more like tiny centipedes which makes me think that they're carpet beetles. And I never get bug bites. I'm never itchy or anything nor do I find any bite marks.
So my question is do carpet beetles behave in the same manner? i.e shell casings, reproduction.
there are several different types on the market, we use Protect-A-Bed when servicing bed bugs and have always felt they were the best and you can find those on our site BedBug Central and other sites, obviously there are many other encasements out there with many different price points, I encourage you to shop around
if you have a box spring it's a preferred location for them to hide, if you don't have a box spring they will find somewhere else to hide, whether you have a box spring or not will not affect whether or not they infest your home...it only affects where they are hiding
I’ve been dealing with these guys for too long. They infested my room four years ago, and we threw out tons of stuff: my clothes, desks, couch, the vacuum, etc. We chainsawed my wooden bed frame, threw it out, and replaced it with a new metal bed frame. We called in an expert two years later to inspect the room and clean everything, as well as replace the carpet with a new one. Even with all of that, I woke up yesterday with several red welts, and I came back home this afternoon and found a nymph on my mattress. I’m going to explode.
Heat them out machine cost like 50 bucks at lows
Check in your walls.
@@Uchihasasuk5100% this. Also very expensive method which works is have pest control heat up your entire house to 122F/50C, costs around $5,000 though. They're likely inside your walls..
thank you so much for your help....now I know much more about the enemy and I m ready to fight back...lol...thanks.
yep its a lot of caulking around the baseboards and keeping everything in vacuum seal bags
Man thanks for this video dude!
I freakin love this vid. watched the whole thing
Jeff you said you were going to tell us about the green strip of felt on the bed spring, you forgot to do so.
Lmao
It's to ensure that the frame doesn't snag and tear the box spring encasement
Thank you for the help.
Thank you. Very helpful
tough to say without seeing it myself, what I can say is that I've had mysterious reactions show up in 3's and rows (all typical of bed bugs) and not had bed bugs, sometimes random reactions show up in 3's....it happens
Oh brother, better not be bed bugs, that's the last thing she needs!
I'm all itchy now
Do you help people with spider mites indoors too ? This was a helpful video. I hope I don’t ever have bed bugs . You’ve got me wanting to check now tho . Lol . I’ll be checking to be on the safe side . I have every other bad bug you can think of on my property. They’re eating every plant on the property too. And seeing spider mites under my microscope makes my skin crawl and feel itchy . Don’t know if it’s psychosomatic or what . Thanks for the video either way 😊
If you truly want to check for bed bugs, set an alarm for the middle of the night, hours after you fell asleep. So like 2 or 3 am. Then you'll see them. Just lift your mattress, or some will already be in your bedding or crawling up a wall
Thank you so much for help!
Nice Info! Thanks.
solid use of the f-word, well done
so this damn video just had me tearing my room apart and inspecting the floors and every crack and crevice like a meth head.....no bed bugs, found a dead micro snail thing on the floor and a fossilized Cheeto however. thank God that's all.
Good information. Thank you.
The only thing I found wrong was the thing about the metal frame, in my years, They are almost always in the metal framing all the way around, due to it being warm and Dark
What was the purpose of the green felt on the bed frame?
all questions for your doctor, what I can tell you is that everyone is different in regards to how much the bites itch and how long they take to go away
The nice thing about bed bugs is they don't carry diseases like mosquitoes. In some countries like Canada people die from mosquito bites. according to the net 26 people have died from West Nile caused but mosquito bites. But bed bugs don't carry diseases like mosquitoes. In the US since 1999 2,000 people died from West Nile caused by mosquito bites. Also if you've been bitten by a mosquito and a bedbug like I have you will know that the mosquito bite is far worse in the bed bug bite.
Great presentation, thanka a lot.
