Today, three days after finally having a bed to sleep on, I woke up with multiple bedbug bites. I can't use my blankets, wear any of my clothes and it's back to sleeping on the floor for me. FML

Same thing different taste

Today, I discovered I have bed bugs. I have nowhere else to sleep and I won't be able to afford a new mattress for at least a year. I'd better get used to these giant welts. FML

Today, after being moved to three different employer-provided apartments because they all had mold and electrical problems, I requested a bigger bed. The bed they delivered had bedbugs. FML

Today, my girlfriend and I moved back in after over a month of couch hopping and $2,000 of heat and chemical treatments for a chronic bedbug issue. I just found bedbugs on my legs. We've used all our favors and have nowhere to go. FML

Today, I discovered that my bed has a flea infestation. I discovered it after sleeping naked in it for about an hour. FML

LEAVE ME ALONE

Today, it's the third day that I can't sleep. Somewhere in my room, there's a mosquito craving for my blood, and every time I'm about to fall asleep, I can hear it flying around. I'm covered in bites, even in places that barely see the daylight. FML

Today, after finally going to therapy for anxiety like everyone wanted, I discovered the itching feeling that kept me awake at night was actually caused by a bedbug infestation. FML

Today, I woke up to something crawling on my leg. Thinking it might be a spider, I jumped out frantically to check. The good news: it's not a spider. The bad news: it's a bedbug. My apartment was just treated for them. FML

Bugging out

By Anonymous - 23/06/2013 04:10 - United States - Seattle

Today, while working the graveyard shift at my hotel, it felt a little chilly, so I grabbed a blanket out of the box we usually store old blankets in. Twenty minutes later, the live-in maintenance man casually remarked that those blankets are all infected with bed-bugs. FML

Today, I got more pleasure from itching the bed bug bites from sleeping over at my boyfriend's house than I got from actually sleeping with him. FML

Call an exterminator. Same thing happened to my friend and he resolved the problem quickly.

I'm surprised that you managed to get bedbugs that fast. if you live in an apartment that probably means they were either in the apartment before and you just never noticed or someone else in the unit had them and either didn't notify the complex or the complex didn't notify you so that you could take preventative measures. I'm sorry I know that must be really hard because I'm so freaked out by bugs I'd probably be on my second bottle of lorazipam.

That's a great idea: knock yourself out on Ativan and let them feast on you? The itching, which is an allergic reaction, would wake you; even from a drugged sleep. Yes, the itch is horrendous.

Lavender and citronella oils will help repel them. If the infestation gets worse, either find an exterminator or ask your doctor about ivermectin. It's the only known way to poison every last one that bites you.

Burn it all to the ground. There's no coming back from this. Just burn it all down and start from scratch.

FYL op, bed bugs are the devils spon, honestly, move if you can, and if you can't, put a matters cover on you bed, and then surround it with double sided tape. It's almost impossible to ever get rid of them %100 because they just relocate and come back.

Biggest problem backpacking is the fear of bedbugs!

Anyone else wondering where the bed came from? New or used?

Also, if they are actually bed bugs...then they have migrated to every part of your room & sleeping on the floor won't help..bed bugs don't ONLY a live on beds.

Bedbugs are notoriously resistant to insecticides, but they can't take heat at all well. Open up the vent in that room only, close the door, stuff towels around it, and crank the heat up for a few hours. Doesn't cost much and is much more effective and less toxic than harsh chemicals.
