Bed bugs? helpppppppppppp!!!!...

Question:

well my brothers stays in the basement and they have recently came up with bits from a bug and we found out that spiders are least likely to bite a human a number of times so some one told us that it might be bed bugs so they start sleeping on air mattress and are still getting bit so can bed bugs survive on air mattress or is it another bug? they always get the bites when they sleep and have numerous bites in more than one spot. what should we do to get rid of them?

Answers:
You can look to see if you can identify the fecal stains, egg cases, and exuviae (shed skins) in crevices and cracks on or near beds. You should also look at other areas such as under wallpaper, behind picture frames, in couches and other furniture, in bed springs, and even in articles of clothing. Observing the bed bugs themselves is definitively confirmation that your home is infested. You may require professional assistance in determining whether your home contains bed bugs.

Most cases of bed bug infestation will require treatment by a pest control expert. A variety of low-odor sprays, dusts, and aerosol insecticides can be used to eradicate bed bugs. These must be applied to all areas where the bugs are observed as well as spaces where they may crawl or hide. The pest control company can help you determine if the mattress can be disinfected or must be discarded. Since beds cannot readily be treated with insecticides, it’s often necessary to discard infested mattresses and beds.

I would suggest that you have a PC agency such as Terminix come out and give you a FREE inspection. They willl do this and will be able to tell you exactly what is going on. There are so many different types of bugs that this could be that this is the only true way to know and get rid of the problem.
