I am going thru my own bedbug problem. I am absolutely COVERED in bites. I itch like crazy. I vacuumed the mattress, washed everything in hot water - pillows, duvet, clothes....dusted the bed frame with orange oil (we have a platform - no boxspring). I can't even sleep at night because I am sure they are crawling on me. for some reason, my husband has no bites. I was going to replace the mattress, but now I'm not so sure. Extermination? I've got a brownstone. Shit.

How timely. I'm fairly certain I have them - I am covered in rows and rows of bites on my back and lower belly. I vacuumed my mattress, washed all the bedding - including pillows. fortunately, we have a platform bed and no box spring (they love the box spring)

We haven't travelled and I have no idea how they could have gotten in. My husband, of course, isn't bitten at all. I haven't seen any trace of them, but the bites are pretty certain to be bedbugs.

We've had "the smell" on and off for a while - didn't know what it was. I only started getting bitten when we flipped the mattress last week.
