My Bed Bug Story & How I Got Rid Of Them

The mental part is almost worse than the actual bugs biting you. It can do a number on your mind

I thought it was fleas or mosquitos. Just found a bed bug about an hour ago after several nights of getting bit. I was really freaking out. You helped me calm down. I was on my way to a panic attack. Thank you for taking the time like you did. You're my best friend right now and I appreciate you.

This is the only video that’s made me feel better about the situation. I may need some therapy after this, but at least I can handle the problem. Thank you!!

I had a major infestation. My apartment building has them from a tenant who brings in furniture from curbs and dumpsters. I used Cimexa and the puffer can. It’s Silica powder which dries out the bugs. It works for 10 years. It worked like a charm. I followed the instructions from a YouTube guy named Joel. The neighbors continue to have problems yet I have not. It’s been 8 years since my infestation. It’s the absolute best!!

I love how calm you are it keeps me calm because I was thinking of moving, but I am tired of running and I’m not gonna run anymore. I’m gonna stay and fight

Your story is the most informative I have seen on Utube of the bed bug experience. It can literally happen to anyone. You are a wonderful storyteller and your story eased my fears of this situation and gave me confidence that I could do this at my house too. I loved how you shared your motivation was to take care of your children. You are a wonderful person, a wonderful mother, and such a good storyteller. Bless you for sharing this to help others. You are a star!!

God bless you for telling your story, because a lot of people are ashamed of talking about them. My sister recently visited a hotel in Ms, and they had bedbugs which tore her skin up.

I can tell they’re still triggering you because you’re scratching your head, nose, eye, hair and shoulder. 🥲 But I’m so glad you were able to get rid of them. Thank you for your kindness in sharing your story! Blessings to you and your family.🙏🏾💚

Not only are you very informative, but also a Very entertaining, detailed story teller ( which is a very good thing to be, socially) Love listening to you... Like a wise aunt , at a kitchen table, getting that advice that needed.

I can identify with her, I had them don't really know where or how I got them, but never want to have to deal with them ever again!! Everything she saying is TRUE, I stayed up all night with a fry swatter and cryed and prayed for God to help me, and God did, I got rid of them!!

As a teenager like 5 years or so ago, I had to deal with this while living with my eldery nan when she was still alive. It was hell, the local government didn't have a service and exterminators were too expensive, and no sprays worked. The bites were irritating, luckily my nan wasn't affected. I got rid of furniture, bedding, washed stuff on the highest heat, threw out clothes and hoovered and sprayed the whole house down like a mad man. And kill any I found and destroy em any places they were gathered. They would go for a few months them come back, after a few month so can confirm IT DOES NOT MEAN YOUR NOT CLEAN. But luckily after researching like crazy I came across Diatomaceous earth, learned more about them. Put that stuff down like a voodoo man and after a few weeks to a month they were all gone. Here's what I did; Hoover, tidy and wash all your stuff on your highest setting. This makes it easier to spot them and you may vaccuum up any stragglers. Then get rid of the bag. I was terrified so threw alot of stuff away. Locate where they are coming from and where you get bitten (was mostly the bed or sofa for me). Then bought a big ass bucket of diamateceous earth and sprinkled it to surround the areas I knew they would walk across. Before I knew it I stopped getting bitten, like the next couple days and started seeing dead bodies around my bed, sofa etc. Saw new nests pop up in new spots in a short period but I repeated the same process and killed them all. Before I knew it the problem was gone. It was the most stressful time of my life, and I was in the army 😂. Thank the universe for diamateceous earth. The whole house was lined with that white powder. Sorry about my long ass comment, my nan passed away last year and still remember the stress and anxiety I had during this time. So happy for you and that you found that magic powder and helping other people with it. God Bless 🙌❤ I'm subscribing.

Thank you for sharing your story girl. I’ve been sleeping in my car, crying sleeping in a chair. Don’t want to lay on a bed. I’m going through it currently your story is giving me hope.

The nightmare was real. Moved into an apartment and thought they were the best landlords ever cause they replaced all the carpets. Turns out the previous tenants were FULLY INFESTED we were kiliing 30 to 40 a day everyday for 3 months until we got the D Earth and that was with the landlord exterminated every 2 weeks for 3 months. We had that powder EVERYWHERE. We started seeing them on the walls completely covered in white powder. It took a solid 5 months to get thru an entire month with no sightings or bites. They also hate Vicks vapo rub so we used it as a barrier on the feet of all furniture in the house. This worked well to keep from getting bit until the D. Earth got them all. Worst 6 months of my life. Anxiety was thru the roof. I couldn't stop crying. It was debilitating.

First and foremost, a massive thank you to you for making this video!! I know the trauma that these little critters can cause both physically and mentally! Thank you for being so selfless and helping others with your knowledge. Some time ago, we had bedbugs (through a fully furnished apartment that we ended up renting). We tried everything we could think of to get rid of them and hardly anything worked. When we finally moved from that apartment, we sprayed everything down that we owned with straight bleach and placed it in a storage unit. The temperaturre outside was below zero Ferenheight. We left everything in that storage unit until spring. After that we were free of the bedbugs. To this day I suffer mentally from it, with the panic attacks, the shame I felt, the terror of having to go to bed, etc So again, a huge thank you to you and hugs also, for helping others!

Not only does the 'Diatomaus' work on bedbugs it also work on spiders, roaches, ants and other creepy things. That one and only time I got bedbugs I actually had to get counseling because it's something that you never get over.

I learned about diatomaceous earth thru internet research when my upstairs neighbor/my friend had them and brought them down. I got rid of them within WEEKS, both her house and mine!🙌This was in 2015. I told everybody I ever heard had an issue about it and it ALWAYS worked. Praise the LORD. It's like this cure has been suppressed. People who truly fight with bedbugs are in a whole spiritual battle behind it! It tortures their lives😢 Thank you for sharing this💙
