Some other suggestions, thoughts....

[Guest guest]

As I was laying in bed this morning crying and itching.. I was also

thinking of ways I could kill these horrible, horrible things. First, I

heard several people mentioned the gold bond extra strength powder

contains menthol). I found they also make a body lotion with the same

percental of menthol. It's alot easier to apply and stays on alot

better. Also, I know it was mentioned that heat will kill them. I don't

know at what temperature, but was thinking that a hot tub and/or sauna

would do the trick. I was thinking of having my entire house fumigated,

taking the family away for the weekend and using the hot tub/sauna for

a few days. What do you all think? Would it be worth a shot or would I

just be wasting my time and money? THanks,

I wish it was that easy, but no go. The lotion, powder, hot tub and

sauna will help you feel better, but none will cure you. And you risk

leaving them in the hotel room to share with the next family that

stays there.

I also wanted to add that fumigation doesnt work most of the time.

Read post #6762 for reference (towards bottom)
