How do you RID of ...?
Question:... bed bugs? I recently discovered that I have them. I was told its because of the humidity in my house (I turn off the air when I head out to work). But I noticed I would wake up with these little red bites on my skin. And then I saw one. I immediately ripped off all the sheets and sprayed my mattress with Lysol Disinfectant. But that didn't work. What do I need to do? Should I buy bug spray? And if so, what kind? Should I call an exterminator? Help Please!

If you can get some plastic sheeting or contrator garbage bags.. Cut them open, take your mattresses outside and wrap them with duct tape like a package/air tight and leave them out in the sun for the day... The heat will fry the little buggers. . Sprinkle mattresses with baking soda and vacuum, try and do this outside.. While the mattresses are outside, give your bedroom a really good cleaning and wipe down... Throw out the vacuum bag/empty the canister outside.. Also, get some plastic/vinyl mattress protector covers from Walmart to protect you from further infestation... I make my bed in the morning, but I turn the covers down to let the mattress/sheets air out.. Good luck

You can try and hoover them up , but the best thing is to buy a new mattress, You never get rid of them any other way
um mabye lice products may help
You can actually smother them. Get one of those mattress covers that covers the entire mattress top and bottom and zips up. Those things can't live more than a couple weeks without a person to feed on. Before you do it though vacuum it out really well on both sides and then seal it up. If and when you decide to take the covering off, you need to remember to vacuum it out really good again to get the dead ones out. To prevent bedbugs, you are supposed to vacuum out your mattress weekly when you wash your sheets.
