Is there a fumigator to get rid of bedbugs? Does anyone have advice to get rid of them?

I tried the kerosene, the spray, the power and a fumigator - don't know which were more effective, but the bedbugs appear to have vanished. I thank each of you for your responses. Happy holiday.

Wondercide gets rid of bedbugs, just spray it on your mattress and under the bed. It is great for other pest problems to and it is total safe for you, your family and pets (even kittens and newborns)

My husbands grandmother had them when she lived in Iowa. She had small caps under all of the bed legs with a little kerosene in them. But I don't know how she got rid of them for all time.

My best friend just went thru this one - and it was awful. You NEED the professional, it will be done over a month to 6 weeks in once a week treatments, I think it was around $800. You need to start washing EVERY piece of cloth in your house in at least 140 degree water, and then bagging it in plastic to protect it from the little buggers. That means bedding, clothing , window treatments, etc. I know this is a major pain, good luck getting rid of them!

My daughter had a terrible time with bedbugs in NY. She had an exterminator but they came back. She finally found a spray on line that worked. But, she also got rid of her mattress and bedframe. They live in the cracks of the walls and floor or furniture. You can cover them outside with black plastic and hope for a period of heat to kill them. She finally moved to LA. She left all her things outside in the yard and sprayed them before bringing it in and hasn't had a problem since.

You can use a powder that will dehydrate them if you are doing it yourself, see:
http://www.badbedbugs.com/bed-bug-treatment/ But the reason why sites recommend professionals is their experience. The longer you wait, the more they multiply.

You can google "getting rid of bed bugs", however, looking at the sites they all recommend hiring a professional to get rid of bedbugs. Sprays and aerosol bombs don't work for the do-it -yourselfer.

My understanding from reading about it online and various other news sources is that you NEED to call a professional to get rid of those.

They are resistant to anything that you can use over the counter, and you won't be able to kill them by yourself.

Professionals can use a stronger poison.

Good luck!
