It does not matter how seedy or spotless - they don't really care. They just want blood and a place to find it. In clutter it is harder to spot them, but they are so small that in most rooms you will never know if they are there or not. Soap and water does not kill them. Cleaning solutions do not kill them. Insect sprays and chemicals just move them from one room to the next where there is no chemical. The only thing that kills them on contact is 90% alcohol. It will not keep them away, just kills them or the eggs if it gets on them. The most effective method of extermination is sealing and heating the whole building to over 120 - 150 deg. F and leaving it that way for at least 5 hours - over 12 hours is best with holes drilled into the walls for the heat to penetrate. Thermometers are placed into the holes in the walls to make sure the interior space is heated. Not a pleasant experience. <br /><br />Hello ROADTREK!!!Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06664259206096691320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801217063323814316.post-17373049910150785262012-04-01T15:33:06.748-04:002012-04-01T15:33:06.748-04:00Dang ...

I...Dang ... I am starting to get itchy myself. LOL<br /><br />I agree ... before getting my trailer and now the RV I had some concerns about the bed bug menace. It seems like I might have gotten lucky ... in spite of some of the seedy place I might have stayed in during the past. Now ... no problem. My bed is with me whenever I need or want it ... no worries. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10976095637219262322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8801217063323814316.post-77811471601838599002011-11-19T18:07:11.920-05:002011-11-19T18:07:11.920-05:00Although my son and I have traveled from TX to NY/...Although my son and I have traveled from TX to NY/GA, we were (un)lucky enough to experience the bed bug nastiness at a local hotel. <br /><br />It was horrible! I read that it was happening everywhere, irrespective of how "fancy" a place was but I still felt like a terrible mother for exposing my son to something like that. *shudder*Pennyhttp://cjskidsclub.comnoreply@blogger.com
