How does duct tape help with bed bugs? I was thinking it would catch them if the sticky side was out. Is that what you do?

I am so sorry that you are having to deal with this... I would also call an exterminator and get it taken care of while it is hopefully in just the one room now...

They are becoming a really big problem. They are even being found in theater seats now. That is really creepy. Not sure how to get rid of them.

Yick! I also heard if you buy a BRAND new mattress, you could get them, because the same truck hauls away the old matresses.

yes thats what it does. they hide inbaseboards. If you encase stuffed animals in plastic bag an leave them in the sun for a week or in the freezing weather it will kill them.

They are in nj big time. Apparently they had to close down the movie theater around here that is attached to a mall. Rumor has it, they all through the mall. The good side of it, I am saving a lot of money.

My husband works for an exterminator...these are really getting bad. Call an exterinator.
You really can't get rid of them yourself. They also give you a guarantee. After treatment, seal the matress in a cover.
