So, I had a successful battle with bed bugs about 5 years ago. I have since moved, obtained new furniture, the whole 9 yards. I am a social worker. I take extra precautions since I have been through this once before. I change my clothing and immediately put it into the dryer after work every day. I noticed bite marks on my neck while in the car the other day and immediately began freaking out, so I steamed, vacuumed, sprayed the car with alcohol, and put DE everywhere. No bites on me since, but this was only a week ago. However, my son woke up three days ago with bites on his arm. Yesterday, he woke up with more bites. I have cleaned his room, and every bedroom / living area in the home. I have looked in bed frames, box springs, mattresses, wall trim, outlets, curtains, pictures, furniture, etc. and I do not see any signs of bed bugs (fecal stains, casings, bugs themselves). Being my paranoid and anxious self, I also used DE in the trim throughout the house, and swept the floors with a super light dusting (all hardwood). I have put DE in the underneath of the couch and chair, beds, and in between the box springs and mattresses. I used alcohol on the beds before using the DE as a contact killer just in case. I guess I am just wanting a little support because once again , everyone thinks that I am crazy in my family.
