Europe's fight against blood-sucking bedbugs | DW Documentary

[@nataliapostnova5011]

I stayed in a hotel in Rotterdam and got bitten by bedbugs there. When I told reception about it, they assured me it was their first ever complain about bedbugs. From other staff member I learned that they have bedbugs issue for a couple of months. The hotel did nothing to help me in this situation (I’m allergic and I was worried about cleanliness of my clothes and luggage), basically called me a liar the next day, and then send an email saying that I was the one who brought bad bugs and that I should stop spreading negative information about them online or they will get their corporate lawyers involved… No wonder there is a huge bed bugs issue around when organisations such as hotels are basically burring the problem instead of dealing with it.

[@charlotteinnocent8752]

Very poor response by the hotel they are not taking it as seriously as they should. You would be right to leave a negative review as a warning to others, I'd be okay for example but I have family members whose health and issues would make it a no go for them.

Got bed bugs at my apartment once - an absolute nightmare! The bites were very painful and filled with puss. Had to squeeze them out so the itch would stop. Was not able to get rid of them until called a specialist and paid $1500 for the service. Even then, had to buy stuff off amazon and spray around the house. All in all, an absolute horror experience.

[@Nick_80599]

Try using Hydrocortisone cream, apply thin layer on effected area. I also used this for mosquito bites. Depending on where you are, you can get this cream over the counter in pharmacies, in the UK HC45 is one of the brands of Hydrocortisone cream. Not to be used on your face though!

Bedbugs will hitch a ride on your luggage and clothing. The issue is that an estimated 20-50% of the population have no reaction to their bite whatsoever, which makes detection challenging for those individuals. Washing your clothes at 60C is the most effective method to eradicate them before they become an infestation, though 50C works too, so long as it's for at least 90 minutes. They will hide in the seams and wooden furniture because it's warm and dark there; it doesn't have to be a mattress or a wardrobe. It could be your shirt or bedsheet. If you see one, there are others. So, act before it becomes a bigger problem.

[@TheKingWhoWins]

I have a mortgage, now, but when I used to rent, it was the landlord's responsibility to get rid of them [I live in the US]: Scheduling fumigation, etc. I told my landlord about the bed bugs, and the landlord told me I must be lying. There is no bug. So, I caught a few, threw them in a jar, and taped the jar to the office door. Fumigation got scheduled same day.

[@Oldeagle66]

I had bedbugs in my apartment once. Nothing management tried worked. I ended up using Diatomaceous Earth for 2 weeks and it worked. Pretty easy actually.

[@Billhatestheinternet]

My ex actually had a similar situation with roaches. She went down to the leasing office (which of course was pest free), told them about the issue, and was told she was lying or exaggerating. I told her to get some small resealable containers (ones you would use to store leftover soup or something), catch a few of the roaches and place them in the containers, and put holes in the lids so that the buggers could breathe. She went down to the leasing office the next day with her payload, and threatened to pull the lids off and release them on those calling her a liar, lol. Needless to say, a qualified exterminator was dispatched within 24 hours to rectify the issue.

[@james-faulkner]

@@Oldeagle66 The stuff works well on fleas as well. The larvae are left to crawl around the nest area or on the floors eating waste droppings from the adults (the waste is not sticky therefore it can fall easily from the host). Since they are blind they eat it thinking it is food and it desiccates them. Fleas, I think, are much more insidious, when they cocoon to form into adults they are nearly indestructible and can wait until they know a host to parasitise.

The best way to keep these bugs away is to minimize usage of wood in building construction and use more concrete. Wood attracts bedbugs.

[@jaynunez8258]

my room apartment here in KSA was infested by bedbug before. It was horrible experience. I couldn't sleep almost every night. I could feel them crawling on my skin. What i did was, I changed my bed frame from wood to metal, and changed my mattress and did not remove the plastic for a couple of months. and regularly i washed my bed sheet every week. and you know how hot it gets here in KSA, so every weekend, i put my mattress and pillows under the sun.. and i could see them drying up dead.

If anyone is here looking for help, first go watch Mark Rober's video.Then remove all bedding, wash and dry on high heat. Encase your mattress and pillows in bedbug proof protectors. Clean your room, vacuum thoroughly and pull your bed out from the wall. sprinkle food grade diatomaceous earth along the baseboards, in the cracks of your bed frame and across the mattress for good measure. Put either sticky traps or more containers of diatomaceous earth under the beds legs. Then go sleep on the couch for a couple weeks to let it do its work. If they're in your couch too, call a professional.

Excessive use of wood, to build homes and other buildings, is the problem. In the past, this was a problem even in Mumbai city where Chawls had a lot of wood usage. But once the city moved towards concrete buildings, the problem vanished. This was also a problem in local trains where wood was used for seats and compartment walls. Once that was replaced, these bugs vanished from local trains.
