Question:

Are there any ways to get rid of bed bugs and are there any things that can help with bed bug bites?

What can get rid of bed bugs and soothe or just plain get rid of the biting? Please help. I can't get a good night's sleep with these things.


Answers:

The best answer would be to get rid of the bed and call an exterminator.
If you can't afford that use Mule Team Borax from the laundry detergent section of the store. Pour it onto the mattress, box springs, under the bed. Wash sheets in HOT water and dry all bedding in a HOT dryer. Walk the Borax into the mattress. It will kill them within a day or two. I would actually just leave the Borax in the mattress and put bedding over it. You might also consider using a plastic mattress cover.
Old bites? I would assume steroids like hydro-cortisone for itching. If you have an infection from scratching you need some antibiotics.
If bedbugs rehatch from the eggs already in the bed then reapply borax in a week.
