This post makes me itchy... +1
CirB
And here I thought dry fall skin was already bad enough.. now this and I'm literally twitching from trying to not start scratching...
Izzymandias
Oh. OK I thought I might have bed bugs because of paranoia. I am now ok with scratchy bed sheet. I'll just change it.

Why oh why did I look at this before bed?! I'm definitely not a bug person.

Former bug man of 3 1/2 years. Never saw it that bad. German roaches on the other hand... *shudders*
Chezarejean
We have those at my work.. its horrifying. They always bounce back. I work in a hospital ._.
thecattlebarron
I had some fantastic german roach pics. Lost em in a phone that is still in a crawlspace somewhere. They were literally raining down on us.
watdafakbruh
Now I'm itching everywere
Morg729
I have the solution
the70spsycho
HAHAHAHA have you even seen my garage? it sounds like a fat dude sitting there with a bag chips eating them as loud as humanly possible.
the70spsycho
because the roaches say, fuck you, i'm gonna make it sound like somebody stole your chips and is eating them.
calichillionaire
I'm almost glad there's not a picture of what bed bugs have done to the people who live here.
lookherebuddy
having bed bugs is the absolute worst. im glad to be rid of them.
stumblingaroundinthedark
How do you avoid taking them home with you?!
thecattlebarron
Luck and strategies. I have a commercial dryer in the office. When me or my techs are exposed it all goes in on high for an hour.
Dilligaffin
I'm from Cincinnati, the bed bug capital of Earth. Welcome to our pain.
psychoelectrickitty
I lived in Cincinnati for 19 years... never had bed bugs. I know the metro busses had them at one point though.
TheMajesticHarpyEagle
Im sorry. But we have to burn down Cincinnati now.
IDownvoteYourShit
I have fought and won two separate invasions of bedbugs. This picture makes me shudder.
drasparagus
This weird place where bed bugs hide will shock you!
thecattlebarron
Literally
comeflywithme
Yes, Ted, that is the joke.
IAmSomeGuy
I dont think the nightmare is restricted for just pest guys here.
Rivalyn
I've had bedbugs before. Managed to get rid of 'em but I still have moments where I start checking just to be sure they're not back.
tgkaze
Im in the same boat
Giddeon82
Same. I got lucky and noticed them quickly. Did some quick research, purchased some food grade diatomaceous earth and a hand duster.
Giddeon82
put a think line along where the base boards meet the carpet and used a broom to push it as far down as possible. Took the outlet plates...
Giddeon82
off and dusted in the wall spaces. Did what I could to keep the bastards contains in that room. Sprayed rubbing alcohol to kill as many
Giddeon82
as possible every couple of days to keep the population down. Ended hiring a trash collection company to haul mattress away.

I make the fumigants you bug guys use to kill bugs +1
thecattlebarron
Vicane?
Gandawlf
Yup !
thecattlebarron
We use it some. Mostly for drywood termite. It is the only product that spooks me.
thecattlebarron
I have been doing pest work a long time. Never before have I see Bed Bugs in the freaking electrical outlets
LadyNoHeart
CopperWench
They are coming from outlets and heat registers running through the walls of our last building. Landlords tried lying to the local news.
jmega
It's like a train wreck, I can't stop looking! Post more!
IWasInThePool
I've had bed bugs. My infestation wasn't nearly this bad, but I did find them in the socket behind the bed.
hiimmondo
Formal service tech here... I feel your pain! I've never seen it that bad where they're in an outlet
cuddlydingo
WHAT. THE. FUCK. This has mentally scarred me more than watching the 2016 U.S. Presidential debates.
Evergrey
*abject horror*
IamNEMesis
I work in rent-to-own. Nothing surprises me any more.
giveitagentlesqueege
Best to use a fork to clean those sockets.
amars1111
To be fair... that probably would work
itsawalkway
I once saw a bedbug climb out of the head phone jack of someone's cell phone.
notme222
Don't worry. Apple's on it.
GadenKerensky
Dude... dude... they were just trying to protect us... this changes EVERYTHING.
harrykiri
Cimex lectlauris ex pest controller here and this is narsty, I hated the smell most of all
TheOneWeDeserve
I have them right now! I've sprayed where I know they are at but I still need help. Any advice besides getting an exterminator.
tgkaze
Move.
theonlynessiah
I had them recently :( only an exterminator will work. And even then, you'll still need to throw away your bed and most likely your couches
TheOneWeDeserve
I also live in an apartment complex
ImguriansFillMySaltReservoir
Just be glad they don't yet harbor terrible diseases like mosquitoes do.
Ilovesmitty894evr
Pmp here, did you use heat or pesticide? Had to use heat i would think
thecattlebarron
We only heat
MiasmaCorrigan
My friend, who is a pest guy himself, checked the outlets first for bed bugs while he was here. I doubt we have them but its nice that he -
MiasmaCorrigan
- looked there, along with the mattress and stuff. also fuck that shit.
tgkaze
Been there, you better believe it. They'll live anywhere.
buce123
Fellow bugman here, don't underestimate these devil vermin. I've seen them in books, fire suppression systems, electronics, trim, carpet tac
tgkaze
They'll live practically anywhere. Notebooks and books were big ones
HairyBallzonya
Did my time with Terminix, saw them living in the baseboards that I almost kneeled next to. Ran out of that place
BlackAssMamaWhiteAssDaddy
Hehehe trim.
otebear
Do you just fumigate and clean up after in this case?
thecattlebarron
We use heat. Only way to kill em all
otebear
How much heat does that take?
MeowWoof
Until the house stops burning.
thecattlebarron
150 f for 4 hours
otebear
This sounds unpleasant. How do you get that sort of heat?
TheRealGoddamnLochNessMonster
As someone who has had them, just burn the damn house down.
RefrigerateForQuality
Burn everything down then yourself to make the itching stop
JoeMalmsteen
Yeah, thats about the only way to be sure.
Lokistale
I thought nuking it from orbit was the only way to be sure.
JoeMalmsteen
Well, yeah, how else would you burn it down?
MrWolfwood
we had them, we dropped the temp to 40 degrees and left the house for a week. aaand gone.
Rivalyn
I'd say that's too extreme but I've had them too, and I agree with your advice.
3rdWardHobo
thecattlebarron
We do heat treatments. Almost burn it down. Get air temp up to 150 for 4 hours. 100% instant kill.
BeefyWeefs
Had to do that to my brother's house. Afterwards, there were bugs in outlets, moulding, you name it, their carcasses were there.
bitemark
How is this done? Work stories post?
TheRealGoddamnLochNessMonster
We had em in our apartment. Pest control people sprayed a buncha shit for 6 months. Didnt kill em. We ended up usin some powder stuff.
TwoCheese
Diametacous earth?
HomelingRazor
Diametacous earth?
CopperWench
That stuff works better than the chemicals pest control uses!They said so themselves. You can use it year round on baseboards for other bugs
HandsomeJackBlack
Diatomaceous earth?Love that stuff. Microscopic silica shards cut up their bodies and they dehydrate to death. Good times. Nontoxic too.
abrakadumbass
love that shit. Diatoms are my BOYS!
TheRealGoddamnLochNessMonster
Yeah that was it. They were gone within a week. Great stuff.
