I remember when I got bedbugs in my apartment several years back during college before I started traveling so no idea how they got into my apartment.

I noticed them in the summer when my roomate had already left back home for the summer so that made alternative sleeping arrangements easy by using his bed for a few days.

I had to throw away my bed and get a new one, but before I put the new one in I went to the kitchen and boiled a few pots of water. I took the pots and splashed it all over the walls and floor. Remember pesticides dont seem to work but no bug is immume to intense heat. You gotta fry them suckers.

Then gave a few days for my room to dry, then when I brought in my new bed I stuck the legs in a bowl filled with diatomecious earth just in case if there were any stragglers. The powder will kill any bug who tried to climb up to my bed.


Even at home, its usually a good idea to have your bed legs resting in a bowl of diatomecious earth. If you managed to bring a few bugs home with you and they try to get into your bed, they would be killed by the powder before ever reaching your bed.
