Comment on WTF BIT ME?
FireRetardant@lemmy.world 20 hours agoI had what i suspected were bed bug bites and a few times they would bite in a cluster somewhat similar to this. I moved out of that apartment and haven’t noticed any bites since but never actually confirmed i had bed bugs.

As I understand it you don’t move away from bed bugs. They come with you.

It depends where they are, how well you cleaned, and what you got rid of, probably some luck too. In my case bites were not frequent at all. There are methods to kill them without chemicals by subjecting them to certain temperatures as well.

You can also just sprinkle diatomaceous earth around. That shit kills ‘em dead by piercing their exoskeleton and dehydrating them.

Yeah that’ll work slowly and is better for making perimeters or when the infestation is mild. Once it’s settled in you need heat treatment and everything that can’t be heated needs frozen for two weeks or rinsed in alcohol. If you act sane about this they’ll come back until you stop.

diatomeceous earth kills them too, also someone used alot of rubbing alcohol on thier bedding.
