Wrapped mattress & box spring in plastic

April 27, 2012

My husband and I labored for 5 hours wrapping my queen size mattress & box

spring in 3 layers of plastic dropcloth. It was one continuous roll wide enough

to completely cover and wrap over the edges. We sealed each layer completely,

inch by inch, with clear package tape. A massive job!! Before we wrapped, I

vacummed thououghly, if that is possible with whatever these things are and we

sprayed with a spray that is all inclusive for bedbugs and a whole host of other

things. Cautiously I went to bed. Within a few minutes things were crawling on

me. It's horrible to be afraid to go to bed. I got up, bathed in Epsom Salts

again and went to the sofa bed. They got me there so I got up and bathed in

Epsom Salts again by then it was 5Am. If only I could have a few hours of

sleep!!!!!! I went out to my van and slept fitfully for a couple of hours and

they got me there, too. These things can't be everywhere - they are coming from

my body!!!!! They have to be!!

Yes, they're in you. I had this experience. I remember I wanted to

go to sleep in the park because at home they would just not leave me

alone. They also began to infest the places I visited the most. I

could see them jumping out of me into other people's homes,

furniture, etc. I used to babysit a kid a few blocks away. Well,

that place became the biggest nightmare to the point I had to stop

going. The minute I walked into that house, I was ambushed by

hundreds of invisible pricks. I never returned to that home again.

Even my place was safer at that point because I had everything in

plastic containers (everything, clothes, belongings, etc), I cleaned

my bedroom literally all day long with Orange plus, Dr Bronners Sal

suds, white distilled vinegar, murphy's oil, 99 grade alcohol, etc.

That kept it relatively safe, but that other house I could not

clean, so they were EVERYWHERE. You will have to start decluttering

your home, putting things in plastic containers and getting rid of

every possible hiding place. They will infest every inch of your

home, so putting things away will help a lot in bringing the numbers

down and giving you a better opportunity to sleep. Earth Friendly

Orange Plus along with white distilled vinegar and 's Oil did

a great job at killing this stuff. 99% alcohol helps a lot too.

Spray your bed with alcohol before going to sleep (and vinegar helps

too). I got to the point of first mopping with the vinegar/orange

plus and THEN adding canola oil to my floors, because after the

vinegar dried they started to crawl out of other holes. The canola

oil stopped them as well, though I guess it can be messy. I was that

desperate.

All the best,

Jess

I believe, as many here seem to, that it is the body that must get healthy in

order to become hostile territory for whatever is annoying you. I understand

totally. Sometimes I would be so tired that I could literally fall asleep

standing up. But as soon as my body stopped moving, they got me. I seriously

contemplated pitching a tent in the yard and sleeping outside. It seemed to me

that they did not like the cold too much. But, I am sure that all I would do is

pick them up inside the tent. They just seemed to always be on me. It is a

terrible feeling to think that the simple act of sleeping would be denied to me.

It was hard to not panic over that idea.
