Personal experience;

So it happened that my dad sent me to one of his friends office to pick up a file and on getting there the man was not around so the secretary asked me to sit down on the sofa (my greatest undoing)

The man's office is a very big one so they have a separate visitors room where you can just relax while you wait for him. I sat down and slept off while waiting for him but woke up to a sting.

My first thought was maybe it was this normal mosquitoes that flies around so I did not read much to it then the man came attended to me and I went to give my dad his files. Note that I don't stay with my dad so immediately I dropped the file I excused myself and went home to my roomself contain on getting hoke I took off my cloth threw ot on the bed and went to take my shower (2nd mistake).

When I got back I picked up the clothes and put it in the basket unbeknownst to me I already have a foreigner in my room. After about 3 days I started noticing stings but this was different from the normal mosquitoes because I fleet my room at interval. One night it was so much that I had to wake up in the middle of the night to check that was when I stone of them on the wall, I killed it but then I begin to wonder how I got it there.
To cut the story short I discovered that I got it from my dad's friend office the day they decided to dispose off the Cushine in that off due to bug and funmigate then it dawn on me where they came from.

Note that I used a lot of chemicals but they wouldn't leave, sniper ,DD force, baygon even kerosene but alas that said my time is over in that house. Immediately my rent was due I took very few cloths to the dry cleaner got rid of most of my household items by selling it off to get a new one and that was how I got rid of bed bugs.

Those things never die.

If you've ever experienced bed bug invasion share your experience and how you got rid of them.
D best solution is boil water and pour it on d affected spot...I ve used it and it is highly effective..hot water kills bed bugs and it's egg

Whether you believe this or not, is up to you. But this is the solution that worked for me.

I had bedbug infestation, and I mean a very severe one. I tried everything possible, but they kept coming back. One day I went online and came across a post on NL with somebody having same issue, and decided to check the comments. One of the comments I saw (which sounded funny at the time) was "GET ONE OF THEM ALIVE, TIE IT IN A NYLON AND DROP IN A BUSY MARKET".

I saw this laughed and continued scrolling, until someone said something similar. I decided to try it.

Like I said at the beginning, whether you believe this or not is up to you, but I did exactly that and never saw Bedbugs in my home again.

I am still stunned till this day.

Whether you believe it or not, is up to you.

You can get rid of bed bug by simply dissolving baking soda and any detergent of your choice. Then sprinkle it on the bed and chair. Do it twice a week it will kill the bed bug and it's eggs

Sniper is more than enough. What is bedbug that sniper won’t kill. To say you have used sniper and it still persists is a lie from the pit of hell. Or most likely u got the fake one.
Then you haven't experienced those demons.
They will suck your blood and suck the sniper sef.
Re: How Bed Bugs Made Me Relocate: by wattsunenergy: 5:03pm On Aug 03, 2024
The few things I learnt while eradicating bed bugs is this:
1. Find a potent killer agent(sniper, kerosene) especially the one that kills the eggs.
2. Take time and locate all the possible areas of hiding, mostly bed areas or anywhere people usually stay: anywhere you notice clustered black spots(their dungs), they are not far away.
3. Make a very frequent & consistent timetable for applying your killer agent. Follow that timetable very faithfully.
I have observed that if you keep at it for at least one week, you'll most likely kill them all.

NB: You must make sure you identify all their comfort hiding areas.

Bedbugs are permanent roommates. They are hard to get rid of no matter the type of weapons you use to kill them. It's either you endure living with them or you leave your house for them.
Lol….Sounds like a Virus to me.

I did not specify, but actually I sold olit to those Bola aboki and added money to buy another one coz that's how fast I could sell it, what they do to it after is not my concern. Of course he's not expecting me to burn it cos they cost money
Dude, you did not have to sell them. You were supposed to burn those things. Now, you have simply transferred the bugs to another person. Very bad of you.

Mine God saved me

I went on a visit and stayed in a friend's house for a couple of days

In the night things were bitting me I first thought it was mosquito

I was just curious cause I noticed it wasn't

The 2nd night as I was sleeping
I felt the bitting
My phone was with me fiam I flashed my phone light and saw 2 bed bug on the pillow

Goose pumps was all over me

I got down to lye on the marbled floor
Removed those clothes and packed them on a nylon

I now discovered that the whole place was bed bug infested

A day to my going I told the person her house was infested

She wanted to claim that I brought it
I said all my life I haven't experienced the stuff

Wanted to cause problem btw us

Later went back to my station

She later called me and said thank you
That she checked and it was true


When I got back to my station
I used hot water to wash all the clothes I traveled with

Refused wearing them
Refused mixing them with my other clothes to avoid story

After about a month
I became sure that non followed me to my house


It was terrible

Re: How Bed Bugs Made Me Relocate: by Raskimonojendor: 5:08pm On Aug 03, 2024
1st time I saw bed bug was in Nigeria. School hostel things. 2nd time was in America in one house I rented. I packed out immediately with only a thoroughly washed and ironed singlet and boxers.
Re: How Bed Bugs Made Me Relocate: by breezeng: 5:08pm On Aug 03, 2024
The best solution is to use pif paf powder. Apply it to all the corners of your room and underneath the foam mattress. Apply it around the four legs of your bed on the floor. That should be after you have sprayed the bed with kerosene or any strong insecticide. The insecticide will kill some immediately but it is not over yet. It is the power that does the final job. The powder is potent for month/years, if it's not affected by water.
Because they feed on blood, they identify humans through our breath, carbon dioxide. The hidden one certainly look for you and immediately they cross the powder, they will die within 3 days. Leave the powder
in the spots for months and you will see them vanished.
It takes time but works perfectly

Sometimes I wonder why God created those insects, like mosquitoes, cockroach, house flies, bed bugs and others. They don't have any benefit to mankind other than to cause sicknesses.
Those insects too would be wondering, what this hopeless human beings are doing on earth, always trying to kill them........😁😂
Re: How Bed Bugs Made Me Relocate: by dboyoji: 5:13pm On Aug 03, 2024
It is very easy to deal with bedbugs. Bedbugs are crawlers. Just get Rambo Powder Insecticide. Use it on your mattress and bedspread.You would wake up to dead bugs every morning. The powder is usually active for a long time except when you pour water on it or sweat on it.

Omoawoke:
how does a bite from bed bug feel? how do you tell the difference between bites from bed bugs apart from bites from mosquitoes?
That's the problem. You won't feel it. They come out around 4am. According to scientist, that is when sleep is deepest. They also inject some sort of chemical in the bite area to kill sensitivity around the bite area while they feast on your blood.

But if you are sensitive enough, you can feel them crawling on your skin. The area they bite become red and swollen about 3 hours later.

Ps: they have a sweet musky smell like cabin biscuits too when you kill them. That smell is unique.
Re: How Bed Bugs Made Me Relocate: by chatinent: 5:14pm On Aug 03, 2024
These werewolves nearly killed me in 2016. It got to a point they were inside all the clothes, shorts, underwears etc., and started hitting. If you commot cloth, you go see red bodies everywhere. And most times you won't feel anything when they bite you. And they reproduce more than China and India altogether.


I legitly paid an expert my two months salary to stop it after having used every things recommended in the market.

At that juncture, you'll prefer mosquitoes. I no fit wish my enemies bed bugs.

I'd rather live on the street than live in a bedbugs infested house.
They will cause ptsd
So Aboki carried me on his okada from the bus stop to my house.
I gave Aboki 1k from my purse and Aboki brought out #500 change to give me, luckily, before I even touched the change I saw one fat bedbug stuck on the 500 naira note. Just look at what you are giving me, that was my response.
I really said a prayer afterwards.
