My bed bug story:I woke up, decided to clean my sheets, on my mattress encasement (thankfully I bought one when I first bought the mattress, always take care of your valuables and be preemptive), where my head rests when I'm sleeping, there were a ton of bed bugs and some other kind of bugs.I opened my window that week for a few days since the weather was super nice. The window sill had garnered a lot of "stuff." I wasn't sure what it was. Decided to wipe down the entire window sill. Some wind came in a couple of times, blew some of it inside, some on my bed. Didn't think much of it. Just wiped it off my bed and kept wiping the window. There is also a small gap between the window screen and the bottom of it where bugs can walk through.That's my educated guess on how all that happened. It's the only thing I did differently that week. I wash my sheets once every week, at worst, I'll miss a week but that's not common.After killing all the bugs on my bed with some cotton pads (I didn't want the blood on my encasement, obviously) and immediately putting all my sheets and comforter in the washing machine under hot water, I checked around my bed and noticed in one part of my room, next to my bed, where the carpet meets the wall, was infested with bed bugs.I grabbed a knife and for the most part, on it's side, I just smeared all the bed bugs. It was pretty bloody. Not fun, but very productive and very thorough. Threw the knife away. Not going to use that again. Then I doused my carpet with carpet cleaner (just the kind that makes your room smell nice), let it sit for a few minutes and started vacuum cleaning. I waited a few hours before bringing my sheets and comforter and pillow (I also had a pillow encasement on, thankfully, because that also had it's fair share of bugs on it too), back up from the dryer because I knew that any bed bugs left would come creeping up on the walls, and they did. So I killed those also. Then I put my bed back together. I also washed the mattress encasement.That's the first part of my story. The second part is what I did to prevent it from happening again. I'll make this one brief and bullet pointed.- I ordered a bed frame to get my bed off of the floor and give them less of a chance to reach my bed and create a breeding ground for them.- With the bed frame I ordered "bed bug interceptors." You put them underneath the stands of your frame and it traps any bed bugs trying to get to your bed. Very affordable and effective.- I checked in places that bed bugs would hide. For me this meant my dry erase board and surely enough, there were a few. My room also has ledges all throughout the room in the middle like a stripe. It looked like one of them built a nice little spot for itself. I really don't have too much on my walls. For most people this will mean picture frames, posters, wall shelves.- I checked all my wooden furniture. This is my dresser, desk, table, and small dresser, and got them all cleaned and wiped down.- I also moved every piece of furniture I have in my room 2-5 inches away from the walls.- I ordered outlet covers because apparently bed bugs can hide in the outlets when it's dangerous for them and when it's safe come back out.I believe that is everything I did leading up to this spray.Spray review:I really like it. It does have a smell but it's a nice pleasant smell, floral like. It shoots out in a line versus spray, which I also like because it made it significantly easier to spray all parts of the room where the carpet meets the wall, including in my closest. The main thing I like about is how nontoxic it is to people. All it says under precautions is that if it gets on your hands to just wash them. Most "cleaning" products will have a long list of warnings and precautions, not this one. It even tells you directly on the bottle you can spray your entire bed, sheets, and even clothing, not to soaked but just damp.As for the size of the bottle, one bottle per infested room. It's recommended you do this once every seven days just for two weeks, which is just enough per bottle, and keep doing it if you want to make sure and just be safe.My bed bug issue is gone at the moment and it's thanks to everything that I did. The bed bug spray isn't meant to be a miracle cure for your bed bug problems. You also have to do numerous other things. As you accumulate preventive measures, you'll see less and less until there isn't anymore.
