I haven't seen them, but I know a few are there.

My question is:
> How do I get rid of them without an exterminator?
> Do foggers work?
> Does 91% alcohol work?
> Does vacuuming work?
> What about the light sockets? Can I spray alcohol in there and not start a fire?

>How do I get rid of them without an exterminator?
Honestly, you can either pay a professional to do it, or you can waste a whole load of time ond money on popycock quick fixes from the hardware store and then pay a professional to come and fix it.

>What about the light sockets? Can I spray alcohol in there
No Anon, you can not spray a highly flammable liquid in to a confined space that that has live conductors in it. Well, you probably could, but only once.

> Covered bed and box spring in a bedbug proof encasement
> Set off two foggers
> Sprayed 1/2 a gallon of 91% rubbing alcohol
> Taped the outlets closest to my bed so as to be never used again
> Vacuumed every inch of my room
> Washed and dried sheets and clothes not hanging up

Surely this must be enough to stop an early infestation? I haven't even seen a single bug yet.

There's no easy way.

I had them at my old apartment: washed all my clothes and slept in a hammock so they couldn't bite me.

Got rid of them but took a while.

You can't get rid of the herpes of insects by just washing your clothes, retard.

Heat fucks them pretty well. A THROUGH steam cleaning of every bit of cloth they might have come in contact with will make a difference. Then the walls, then, after shutting off that part of the circuit, the outlets and switches. It is important this is all in one go.

THEN put out glue traps, and check them regularly. If you see tiny mites on them, they are back. They can travel on clothing so they might be coming from your car or your work.
