Thanks @all for your contributions.

Many of these things too have been tried. Chairs sold, wall repainted, spraying the entire house with DD force.

Sometimes the bugs even come to you when you sleep on the bare tiled floor. The other thing is that they know how to hide. You won't see them until the dead of the night crawling out to bay for blood.

At a point I suspected the thing was beyond ordinary. They can send you away from your home. You begin to get depressed anytime you want to go to your own home. Haa

Try to know their host first. Pesticide/insecticide works but High heat temperature is the permanent solution

But be careful of where you place them incase you have little kids at home, to avoid them swallowing it.

Camphor doesn't do anything to bedbugs

The best way to eradicate bedbug is with sniper, but you have to make sure you soak all your clothes, bedsheets and pillowcase in hot water and hypo or jik. Bed bugs crawls, so spray all your furniture, foam the edges that is where they hide same with your pillows. make sure your bed doesn't touch the wall, if you are using a bed frame get a cover of a cream put petroleum jelly cream (vaseline) inside of it and place the stands (legs) of your bed on it (reason it that no crawling insect can move on a sticky substance and make sure you spray your foam and bedframe very withappy sniper before placing the stands or legs of your bedframe on a cover that contains petroleum jelly, you can do same to your chairs and sofa, that way your bed and sofa is free from the demons) spray the walls of your apartment and any cracks in your house (they lay eggs on the walls) scrub the floor of your house with hot water, detergent and hypo or jik (no living organism or insect can survive in hypo or jik when they come in contact with it,make sure it is highly concentrated ).
Note: you will spray your your apartment continuously for at least a month. Spray your wardrobes, shoes, bags and anything spray-able.

I have bought it oh... I hope it's corrected placed.

However I did a search online about using naphthalene for bedbug but findings show that they do not work effectively for bedbugs. But I'll sha try first. I pray it works in my case.

Night 1

No serious attack all through the night. At around 3 - 4 am, I couldn't find any around the bed and the walls, nothing.

However, upon waking this morning I perceived a bite around my upper arm. Then I saw a tiny bedbug laying obviously weak on my bed spread, it was already drying. Thanks.

Haaaa. Are you serious? If this is really true bros, heaven will bless you. I'll definitely try this. Thank you thank you.. I'm tired of buying sniper and all these half measures.... How come this method is not widely known cuz I believe a lot of people are having this problem but may not voice out openly.

It is rampant in school hostels. That's the cause of two girls fighting over spraying of sniper in OAU last week.

Thank you very much sir..i am really grateful.. In fact I've not tried this but I read it with relieve and joy in my heart.

I will surely come back here to thank you later.. Sorry that I misplaced your gender cuz of my elation. If not that you are married already, I for vie for to you.. Smiles
You can as well try pineapples. Peel the back and the entire body into smaller pieces and drop it anywhere in the house. U can as well rub the fleshy part on any hidden place they normally hide be it on d chair, cabinet, bed, table e t c. The smell of pineapples drive them away.

Sniper works but doesn't eradicate them. There eggs are tiny and layed in cracks where sniper can't penetrate.

The solution to bed bug is to fight them in all rooms including living room you can leave kitchen and toilet.

Then get yourself an engineer heat gun those handheld used by phone engineer to heat phone panel and an extension long enough to follow you and maneuver. Use the heat on wood and metal surfaces and see them and their egg fry to pieces then get kerosene mix GO90 into it 2 bottles to 1 or 2L kerosene and spray. I use coke 1L bottle and nail to make a small hole on the cork and I spray without mercy.

Do these often if you have children who bed wet and you will become bed bug free

Consistency is kick.. try what the guy wrote up there... then every three weeks.. use 1 bottle of big sniper,dilutred for maintenance for the next 3 months..
You need to realise you people have infected every place you go with bedbugs, you keep reintroducing it back to your house after every elimination..

The eggs also keep hatching, hence why you need the maintenance..

Which is more effective, between naphthalene balls (camphor) and sniper? Have you tried camphor before?

well, night 3 is still in progress and so far so good, all has been well. No sight or feel of bedbug presence. I'm still observing by the way, nevertheless, it's a miracle the way this wonder balls works, judging by my experience of how hard it is to keep bedbugs away.

I saw one lying motionless at the window top since yesterday. I just left it on its own. Those bastards are the definition of cowards

It's been more than 4 years now we have been battling with bedbug infestation at home. Even at school or other places a member of the family moves to they follow.

Several methods have been employed yet they do not go. Whoever has experienced bedbugs would know that these little creature are as deadly as Boko Haram.

They aim for your blood, hide in dark places and crevices. They disrupt your sleep, your life and you begin to live in perpetual fear. This is serious.

I've tried the traditional science of taking some live bugs to the market, yet doesn't work. A lot of money has been spent on Sniper, DD force, etc, despite that they come with their attendant health consequences due to exposure.

Please help oh..


You can't get rid of them, you run away from them..leave that house for them.. That's the best solution, dem suffer me and my family oooo..

If the scenario you are facing here is related to the bedroom and perhaps the bed/bedframe and the rest. Don't know if you have tried using this RAMBO POWDER common around us. Its effective and will dry them up and to a large extent make those bugs flee. Go for the corners and crevices of every area you suspect they thrive and see that powder do the rest. They will dry up or flee. The key here is insects don't like to come in contact with that powder. Even TICKS that do infest on DOGS and suck blood like these bedbugs dry up when the powder is applied.

Get an essential oil call Tree tea oil(#1,200-#1,500) and baking soda. Mix the baking soda with water then pour the tree tea oil inside the mixture. Get a spraying bottle,pour in your content and spray your furniture and your mattress very well. After then spread the mattress and furniture in the sun. Let sun shine on those things very well before you pack them in.

From personal experience: Use KEROSENE ONLY

Sprinkle it where you mostly see them, round the edges of your mattress and pillows, on woods, floor, walls, cupboards etc

Sprinkle kero on a daily basis, depending on how much they have infested your home.

They can never be as deadly as Book Haram na, haba grin

When I had issues with these bugs (in 2016/017), I tried several other chemicals including fumigating the whole house, but to no avail.. But when I began to use kero only, I noticed kerosene kills them instantly when applied directly at any of them unlike other insecticides that the bug just shakes off and continues strolling by..

Las las, I implored prayers too (Yes, prayers for God to exterminate them! The bugs were just much and looked like they weren't leaving anytime soon).

Thank God~ It's been two years now since I last saw one

Modified: I can see you've been using camphors and it has been effective.. Very well then, I never knew about this method before now.. Thank you and thanks to Simpleglow too who shared from personal experience kiss

Many of those chemicals are ineffective for bedbugs, I tried a lot of them back them.. Using only kerosene works fine

I've been going through this problem too.
At first when I saw it on my bed, I had to wake hubby to confirm if it is (cos I'd never seen it before then). He confirmed it and we bought one stuff like that. The woman told us it was more powerful than sniper. We applied it and never saw it again. That was about a month ago. Not until two days ago, I woke up to pee and saw this one on the mosquito net. I killed it but no blood so I guessed it was just looking for blood to suck. I was worried, wandering how come. Last night again, I saw one and told hubby that we might need to use that stuff again.
I think I will try this camphor balls, though the one I have is the coloured one. Hope it is as effective as the white ones

If all that doesn't work, you can begin to sprinkle only kerosene. Kerosene kills them instantly.. Do this for some days/probably weeks, hopefully, they'll die off.. I join prayers too when I had the issue few years ago, and thank God for about two years now, I haven't seen one
