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.
Even In America ?

Oh my !

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.
Exactly.It somehow makes me want to question if there is really God because the Bible say everything God created is good

Those of u who have experienced bed bug invasion before, how did you get rid of them?
use sniper and mixed with kersone. Make sure you spray on the eggs and every corner of the room.. After that, leave the room for hours.

How do you vet who you let in ?😁

Sometimes even those big people or people we assume that are clean carry them around because bedbugs are tiny demons.

They're in Saloons , offices e.t.c places where people meet.

We hope the universe keeps us away from people and places with bedbugs.

We just hope the universe keep keeping us away from people with them.

That would also depend on the price at which they were being disposed of..
If you are buying something at a price which seems too good to be true..
If you didn't do your due diligence..
You only have yourself to blame,if there is more than meets the eye..
It is because of our wickedness. This is a void sale ab initio however, we do not have strong laws. Selling/buying at ridiculously cheap price could be because it was a distress/clearance sale.

Lol. The truth is that when God created all insects, they were feasting on plants and seeds, same as animals but when man rebelled against God in Eden, He made some animals and insects rebel against us too.

That's why we have wild animals and insects that feast on our blood. Man lost peace and ultimate protection after that incident but in the future, all animals and man will revert back to how it was in Eden. Revelation 21 vs 3-5

No more insect bite, sickness, poverty and death. Man was created to live forever and God who does not lie will make it happen.

In the meantime, we should try to live right.
Wow, I like your perspective. I never thought of it this direction. What you said looks 99.99% correct.
Re: How Bed Bugs Made Me Relocate: by wonlasewonimi:
I never knew anything about bedbugs until I moved to London. I rented this shared accommodation with about 4 other people. Everything was fine until about 5 months later that a new occupant moved in.

Let's just say they sucked my blood like mallam drinking kunu. Part of the reason I lost my hair too. I eventually gave up and left the house for them.

Edited:

I remembered one girl i was chasing then. I used to help her with her uni work and she just called me up one day that she wants to come over. I couldn't tell her I had bed bug infestation as per you know boys thing. I went to sainsburys very close to me. I bought raid, sprayed the room with the full can and I wasn't sold cos it just smelt like deodorant. In my mind, it would kill some if them before the girl comes to sleep over.

Anyway, the girl came we did her coursework and more coursework overnight. She left the following day. Later in the day, I called her to check up on her if she was OK, she sent me a picture where she looked like anjonu. She applied calamine lotion all over her body cos she couldn't understand why she had so many insect bites. I denied knowing anything about it.
Till I left the house, I always go to bed as if I'm about to travel.

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.
So when your new location gets infested by bed bugs again you will relocate. (there's a chance for that to happen so don't even rule it out. It's not my portion doesn't apply since you interact with others)

I'd rather have 2 snakes in my house than 1 single bed bug.

That thing never dies!!
You too funny 🤣

Actually, I used one capsule like that to get rid of them from my house last year. Someone recommended those capsules to me, but I have forgotten the name. Very small, I used to take two capsules every week and that was all. One funny thing is that those capsules are sold at where animal drugs are sold. I still have some in my possession, but I don't know the name again.

For you to be using different types of insecticides showed that you didn't go about it the right way. Only sniper was enough but you have to use it periodically and regularly like once a week, three weeks in a row. Pour it inside water, large container and wet everywhere including the walls, burglaries, cloths, blinds, mattress,couch, everything and everywhere

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.

Some species can survive 1year plus without blood meal and reproduce really fast, their egg can survive harsh environment. It's the reason they can be difficult to completely get rid off.

Their bite is painful than that of mosquito and smell very bad and also they reproduced best in crowded room with wooden furniture. Also if you live in ceiling appointment just forgot it because once they enter ceiling it's best to burn down the house.

Smell/odor from insecticide will not affect them unless it touches them.
Only if people who are having bedbugs problem can be persistent in the use of a well known brand of insecticide like sniper or any other one. Use it every week as long as it takes till all the surviving eggs are hatched and killed too. People would stop fumigation once they stop seeing them, forgetting that there are still eggs in the crevices. And many people are not usually through when fumigating, one need to touch every item and space in the rooms. Imagine bedbugs inside wall sockets, window burglaries. They could be inside the wall clocks too. So, one still has to continue fumigating weekly even when they might have long gone but many don't have that kind of patience

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
I can confirm this,I just used boiled water mixed with salt and little hypo,it worked.

After 6 months my cousin reintroduced them and I reapplied it and God it finished them off the 2nd time again
Re: How Bed Bugs Made Me Relocate: by caye(m): 7:14pm On Aug 03, 2024
Mix sniper or DD force with kerosene. It killed off all these bedbugs with speed.

But kerosene alone or DD force alone will do them nothing.

It's only a combination that works.
( and those white ppl ban DDT in their own land o! Chai! They expected we would have all kpai, but God pass them!)

Check : ban on DDT in USA in 60s and why.
You'll be shocked.

My experience is I park into new house I never new the previous occupant has bed bug in the house I did normal clean up by washing and repainting the house. To my surprise after one week of parking inn I started noticing Sting in my body which I never experienced before so during the day I search thinking is mosquito to my surprise I saw a small creature with swollen belly I kill the idiot to find out is feeding on my blood. It's took me six months before I can eradicate them. The most annoying thing my co tenant is battling with nobody tell me when I park inn

Funny I don't know, I during my stay in school we usually have designs every semester and it's tidus sometimes we sleep in school but this design was computer based and our transformer was bad I have to go to my friends house that was highly infected with bedbugs I know very well. But they just can't survive in my house when I get home. I went to his house slept do everything for one week I came back home an it didn't transfer to my house

It was only scabies that nearly took my life after my girlfriend brought it to my house.

But you see bed bugs I don't fear it I will come to your house lie on your bed do everything but you see my house they can't occupy it.

Also if your house is infested with bedbugs I will know as soon as I sit down or lay on your bed without even seeing it.

My nose do that one for me

This powder sent them packing in a day.

The down side of this is that dress force almost ended me.

Had to visit the hospital because when I added kerosene and DD force, it became really active that some bugs came out of their hiding dead.

Be careful while applying these especially have a nose mask.
