Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Hi-- I fogged for 3rd time w/cedarcide on Wed nite--slept elsewhere Thursday-stayed out of house til bedtime--ok nite Friday--bad in house during the day--ok nite I tried to heat treat on Saturday day Saturday nite spent the nite elsewhere--good nite Sunday day was buggy Sunday night was horrible in my place Monday night -saturated mattress and sprayed bedroom with Windex and had a very good night-slept in my place Tuesday -spent some time in my house during the day--felt a little buggy--sprayed entire house with Windex--but slept elsewhere and had great nite's sleep Wednesday (today) Sat down at computer and got bit very soon after...this is where I had saturated the area in Windex the night before. Today I sprayed almost all the house again with Windex --I need to wear the respirator--I am getting sick from breathing it....

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 The reason I was asking if you had sprayed anything afterward was because I think Zmooks was right about the heat hatching the eggs out that were in your apt. So by spraying immediately after, you ARE killing a TON of them. Just keep it up if you can! If you can afford it, go get the respirator or order it online and start spraying the heck out of everything every day. Ray had suggested to get the one that the painting people use. One thing that I found that helped us was: Carrying a small spray bottle full of 91% Alcohol or Windex (or maybe cedarcide?) and spray it around your area where you will be sitting or standing. If you feel any activity... Spray, spray and spray some more. Carry this with you wherever you go through out your apt. If you have a car, keep a full bottle in the car with you. Out of 6 days, you have had one horrible day and one horrible night? The rest were tolerable? Lucy! That is AWESOME! You are whipping these things and don't even know it!!! You go girl! Don't stop now! You just keep spraying and I can almost guarantee that you'll beat this thing soon. Don't forget to get a respirator... > > Hi-- > I fogged for 3rd time w/cedarcide on Wed nite--slept elsewhere > > Thursday-stayed out of house til bedtime--ok nite > > Friday--bad in house during the day--ok nite > > I tried to heat treat on Saturday day > > Saturday nite spent the nite elsewhere--good nite > > Sunday day was buggy > > Sunday night was horrible in my place > > Monday night -saturated mattress and sprayed bedroom with Windex and had a very good night-slept in my place > > Tuesday -spent some time in my house during the day--felt a little buggy--sprayed entire house with Windex--but slept elsewhere and had great nite's sleep > > Wednesday (today) Sat down at computer and got bit very soon after...this is where I had saturated the area in Windex the night before. > > Today I sprayed almost all the house again with Windex --I need to wear the respirator--I am getting sick from breathing it.... > LL > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 What is the heat thing? I sprayed with Chlorox and salt today. So far, so good. I was wondering how often and how long it took to get rid of them with this method. I was worried about spraying the carpet in my apartment but I decided that I would rather take my chances with the carpet and the landlord than live like this forever. lou> From: trlyblest <trlyblest (DOT) com>> Subject: Re: WINDEX - Lucy> bird mites> Date: Thursday, July 3, 2008, 12:46 AM> The reason I was asking if you had sprayed anything> afterward was > because I think Zmooks was right about the heat hatching> the eggs out > that were in your apt.
