What's with the fourty words character everyone keeps talking about on this platform, can someone please enlighten me ..no insults please cos ..
Back to the issue of bed bugs omo na long thing ooo but first
buy sniper and mix with kerosene,
Remove all furniture in the house
Fumigate your house every 3days (especially the corners and angles)
Let rain and sun beat the furniture outside and also fumigate it too but if you have money you can get new set of furniture... keep fumigating and always wash your clothes every weekend ( both used and unused)
God willing maybe after 2months you might get rid of them if you are lucky

Diatomaceous earth, I’ve not tried it but I hear it’s quite effective against insects. You should have bed bugs free home in less than 14 days if you apply it periodically for a week

Just set the whole house ablaze, then run away from that area entirely and go start a new life somewhere else..

When the bible said "no weapon fashioned against you shall prosper", these mohafuckahs weren't included...

These mohafuckahs are in your house to colonize you, if care is not taken, they might even turn you to one of them (I'm talking from experience).. I'm still living with the trauma of their invasion about 15years ago...

It requires months of dedication to get rid of.

Firstly, ensure that it is only your apartment that is infested, otherwise, even after getting rid of from yours it will get re-infested from the next apartment.

To completely get rid of it, do the following religiously:

Buy otapiapia and syringe (no needle), fill the syringe with otapiapia and meticulous apply it to the hem of your mattresses, all the joints and edges of all the furnitures in the house (tables, chairs, beds, wardrobe, around the door frames and possibly the door hinges, edges of rug, and any other hidden places you may discover). Also around the hem of your cushions and every other possible hiding places.

For the first two weeks do this twice a week and from the 3rd week do it every Saturday (it is easy to remember) without missing a day for the next 8 to 10 weeks.

Please whatever you do, don't let the otapiapia get into your kitchen or pantry or food storage area. It is poisonous and kills if not handled with care. I assume there is no children in the house?

Bedbugs are difficult to get rid of, but donkey years ago I went head on with it, and got rid of it after several months of continuous treatment with otapiapia.

Great advice. It takes patient working to get rid of these terrorists.
After applying the otapiapia I'll advise to wrap your mattress in thick nylon so as to suffocate any of the existing eggs or adults...that way you can be sure they are doomed.

The quickest way is to burn the house.

But the best way is to repaint the house with paint mixed with good dose of sniper.the bedbugs and their eggs on the wall Diesel and anyone that escape the bed to the wall Dies. But you would need constant three days of thorough spray of bed frame and chairs.

The easiest and most effective way of getting rid of bedbugs is simply by mixing two covers of Dettol antiseptic, detergent (Omo, So Klin, Ariel) and water in a spray bottle and spray every nook and cranny where bedbugs could possibly hide and lay eggs. You will gladly watch them die as soon as the mixture touches them.
Do this for 2-3 days and you’ll never find bedbugs in your house again.
Speaking from experience 👌

What do you mean by the bolded please, I don't seem to understand it.

jimotochukwuobi:
I've had to deal with it very well.
The best way to handle it is with Kerosene.
It kills it like magic.
Make sure you observe it closely where they live. They stay mainly on cracked walls, the lines in between furnitures etc.
Use enough kerosene on the surfaces and dry out the furnitures for couple of days.
You can repeat the process to ensure you've taken them all out.
It works like magic.

Otapiapia. Sprinkle it on some places on the bed and also in different parts of the room when you are going out in the morning. Lock the door and windows tightly after removing food and other consumables.

Leave only the Otapiapia and the bedbugs in the house. RIP to them.
