My answer?

Not yet.

No way am I gonna act cocky and act like I’ve seen the last of bed bugs, jinxing myself in the process. Well played sir, but I’m not falling for your clever tricks.

You sure have a lot of anger in you. Like many people, you are too clueless to understand the difference between commentary and a factual news report. Anger and ignorance can be a dangerous combination.

In this entry, I was expressing my opinions, not stating facts. As for my credibility, I never claimed to be any kind of expert on bed bugs. If you re-read the post, you’ll find that not once did I claim to be knowledgeable in any way on mattress covers and their effect on bed bugs or bed bug biology nor did I claim to be stating facts. So you should probably assume that I have no credibility on the subject whatsoever.

The only fact I actually offered was that bed bugs die instantly in water, so I don’t think I have any “facts” to get straight. Obviously you did not completely read my post. Also, the fact that you’ve basically repeated the previous eight comments shows that you didn’t read them, either. Or perhaps since you think I’m so stupid, you did read the above comments, rewrote their facts and threw it back at me assuming I wouldn’t notice.

Dude, you are too angry. Go have a drink, smoke a joint, seek therapy, whatever.

Btw – what is your cleaning routine? Is it just the mopping? If you only mop the floors, that doesn’t get rid of many bedbugs. If it’s an annoying chore, you’re probably better off doing nothing than something that doesn’t work. Save your energy. Then do something that works.

I’m glad that you like Bugged Out and that I still have bed bugs. Well, not that I still have them, you know what I mean.

I’m not sure exactly why I still have a bed bug infestation, except that I probably didn’t have enough time to thoroughly clean and inspect my home. Let’s face it, even in a tiny New York apartment, bed bug control is still a part-time job in itself. So people who have infestations as long as I have shouldn’t beat themselves up about it.

Happy holidays to you as well, and thanks again for commenting.

I don’t think it really makes a difference which they are. Whether it’s a cast skin or full bug, they each represent at least one bedbug that’s invading your turf.

Am I right in reading the bin was under your bed for only a month? I counted sixty bodies and then I stopped. That’s a lot. Each of those bugs have bitten you guys multiple times to get to that life stage.

Have you guys tried diatomaceous earth? I don’t know how well mopping by itself works – even if you use Murphys or rubbing alcohol.

Spread d-earth all around the edges of your room. Under the legs of all your furniture. But your bed on risers or furniture movers and pool up the d-earth there.

Man, this has been going on too long for y’all. But I guess you know that already. Hope this is the year you get rid of them.

People NEED to read that there are people living with ongoing infestations. Not outta choice, that’s just the way things are. I hope my comments are one of your reasons to keep Bugged Out going and change it…for the better

A lot of people do not comment on forums or blogs if they have continuing infestations outta fear and being ridiculed that they are not doing enough to get rid of bbs.

I know that running a blog takes time and I just wanted to say thank you for your time.

Anyways, glad you’re still around and am looking forward to the “new” BuggedOut!!
