How do you get rid of or control bed bugs?

Reducing clutter is a necessity. Belongings strewn about rooms afford many places for bed bugs to hide, and impedes inspection and treatment. Infested bedding and garments will need to be bagged and laundered (120°F minimum), or discarded since these items cannot be treated with insecticides. Smaller items that cannot be laundered can sometimes be de-infested by heatingfor several minutes in a clothes dryer. Other items can be wrapped in plastic and placed in a hot, sunny location for at least a few days (the 120°F minimum target temperature should be monitored in the centermost location with a thermometer). Bedbugs also succumb to cold temperatures below 32° F, but the chilling period must be maintained for at least two weeks. Attempts to rid an entire home or apartment of bed bugs by raising or lowering the thermostat will be entirely unsuccessful. Most housecleaning measures are of little benefit in bed bug management. Site-specific vacuuming, however, can help remove some of the bugs before treatment with insecticides. Bed bugs (especially the eggs) can be difficult to dislodge. Optimum results will be achieved by moving and scraping the end of the suction wand along infested areas such as seams, tufts and edges of bedding, and the perimeter edge of wall-to-wall carpets. Afterward, dispose of the vacuum contents in a sealed trash bag. Steam cleaning of carpets may be helpful for killing bugs and eggs that vacuuming may have missed. \n\nWhile the former measures are helpful, insecticides are important for bed bug elimination. Pest control professionals treat using a variety of low-odor sprays, dusts, and aerosols. (Baits designed to control ants and cockroaches are ineffective). Application entails treating all areas where the bugs are discovered, or tend to crawl or hide. Some bed bug species are parasites of bats or birds, and may bite people if the wild hosts are no longer available. If bat bugs or bird bugs are involved, roosting and nesting sites should also be treated and the animals excluded from the building. \n\nThere is an awesome site that goes into How Infestations Originate, Controlling Infestations, Treatment Procedures, and Avoiding Infestations.

The best that I have heard about would be RID or NIX give her a bath and use the solution on her and then get a fine toothed comb and comb her hair and then have her to lay on a white sheet and you go and sift through her hair and pick the nits out of it and then wash the bed clothes in hot water, wash the clothes, steralize the combs and brushes and then get some of the spray at the store also and spray the beds, couches, blankets, clothes every where she has laid down and I would also treat your self and any other family members also.

While you can probably keep your bed free of dust mites by proper and regular cleaning, you cannot make your bed free of fungi and bacteria. There are fungal spores in the air - however, they usually won't start growing on your bed unless it tends to be damp (stop peeing in bed!). As for bacteria, there will always be bacteria on it especially since there are bacteria that normally inhabit your skin.

Bed bugs were once a common public health pest worldwide, which declined in incidence through the mid 20th century. Recently however, bed bugs have undergone a dramatic resurgence and worldwide there are reports of increasing numbers of infestations.Bed bugs are wingless insects, roughly oval in shape, 4-5mm long when fully grown, and are fast runners. They are rust brown in colour and change to a deeper red brown following a blood meal. Bed bugs are dorsoventrally flattened and being thin means that they can hide in narrow cracks and crevices, making detection often very difficult.Most blood feeding occurs at night, and they generally seek shelter during the day and become inactive while digesting the blood meal. However, bed bugs are opportunistic and will bite in the day especially if starved for some time. They can survive for long periods without feeding. While their preferred host is human, they will feed on wide variety of other warm-blooded animals including rodents, rabbits, bats, and even birds. \n\nBeing a cryptic species, bed bugs shelter in a variety of dark locations, mostly close to where people sleep. These include under mattresses, floorboards, paintings and carpets, behind skirting, in various cracks and crevices of walls, within bed frames and other furniture, and behind loose wallpaper. Bed bugs tend to stay in close contact with each other and heavy infestations are accompanied by a distinctive sweet sickly smell. Blood spotting on mattresses and nearby furnishings is often a tell tale sign of an infestation.\n\nBed bugs are one of the great travellers of the world and are readily transported via luggage, clothing, bedding and furniture. As such, they have a worldwide distribution. \nIf bed bugs are suspected then a licensed pest controller should be consulted. A careful inspection must be undertaken and all possible hiding places within infested and adjoining rooms examined. Once all likely sources have been identified, then an approved insecticide, which has some residual activity, should be applied to all harbourages. Non-chemical approaches to control involve the use of hot air and/or wrapping up infested materials in black plastic and placing the articles in the sun, thereby killing the bed bugs with the heat generated. However this should only be used for small items, if at all. Clothes can be washed in hot water and dried on the hot cycle of the clothes drier. Delicate materials can be placed into the freezer. Generally, pesticides will need to be applied in conjunction with any non-chemical means of control. Good housekeeping practices and a reduction in possible harbourages such as cracks and crevices will discourage repeat infestations. As bed bugs are cryptic in their habits, complete control is often difficult to achieve with the first treatment. This is especially so with heavy infestations and thus a post control treatment evaluation is always advisable.

For people, take a bath! (and wash that hair)\nFor clothes, wash them.\nFor a house, air it out. \n\nOr if that's not possible, use fragrance or deodorizer or room freshening spray.

I found this information on a website. I hope this helps. \n\n\nThe most successful way I've used to get rid of fleas was as follows:\n\n1. Fill a shallow, large basin with soapy water.\n2. Place it on the floor of the room where the fleas are located.\n3. Place a shade-less lamp next to the basin.\n4. Turn off all lights in the room except for this lamp.\n\nThe fleas are attracted to the light. They will try jumping at the light but when they come back down from their jump, they will land on the water. Normally, they are too light to break the water's surface tension. However, the soap weakens the surface tensions and the fleas drown.\n\nThe first time I tried this, it took a couple of nights for all fleas to be gone.\n\nAlso, be sure to regularly wash your pets, particularly if they've been outside.\n\nIf the flea bites on you are itchy, try a baking soda bath. This will often soothe itching in a lot of people. Chamomile lotion may also work.

You need to contact healthcare workers/organizations.  They can provide assistance and training.  Folks bedridden can become covered in bedsores, which can get infected and kill them, so it's serious business, and best handled by pros.

The world's ugliest bug is a toss up between the tomato worm and the potato bug. The best way to kill them is to run screaming into the house and tell your husband where it is. Then hide until he makes it 'disappear', promising not to tell you how he did it, where it is now, and that there are no more.

Depends on what kind of bug it was. There's this stuff called "Chig-a-rid" It gets rid of chigger bites or you could use clear fingernail polish.  Mosquito bites go away with Calamine lotion. Any bites take a few days.

There is a shampoo called RidX.  It comes with a special comb to comb all the eggs out.  There is also some spray for the hats and caps, pillows and such.  All beddig should be washed and sterilized.  The spray works well on the mattresses as well.  Long process, but the sooner you start the sooner they can get rid of them.  The sores were probably caused from scratching.  Please take care of this right away as everyone in the family or that comes in contact with that child can get them.
