I’m hopeless

[reeasley]

I understand completely. I have been going through the same thing for years. I’ve tried so many things and spend all my time cleaning which really stirs them up causing bites and rashes. We have new windows ordered but will be awhile before they are installed. I have Ivermectin ordered that I plan to clean with. I’ve also read about Spinosad that can be found in Captain Jack Dead Bug Brew bought at Lowes and Walmart. I’ll report back if they help. A couple of things I can’t live without are sticky lint rollers. The bugs will stick to them. The other is Swiffer dusters. Noxema original has eucalyptus and is good to clean your skin with and bring some relief. Hang in there! They rarely bother my husband either so he doesn’t understand my torture. I think his skin is tough and his chemical composition is not to their liking. I’ll report back after using the products I mentioned.

Hi Dajamaan and Reasley,I have also tried diatamaceous earth and steam ironing/cleaning the matress . The D.E. has been dusted in the wall electric sockets and eveywhere else. It helped initially, but soon I felt like I was back to square one. Reasley, I also can’t live without lint rollers! They are the single most effective thing I’ve tried. I feel so sorry for all those going through this hell. Most of my life now revolves around washing, ironing and cleaning everywhere in the home. It’s not a normal life. Your poor kids, Dajamaan. Breaks my heart. I’ve had this for almost 4 years now, but a couple of weeks ago I went to a doctor who fortunately took the situation seriously. She gave me Ivermectin to take, I took it and the problem has improved 90 percent. I took a fairly large dose over 3 days (2 packs of 4 tabs) and I have one pack left which I will take in a couple of weeks time to see if it clears completely. Meanwhile I haven’t given up on the cleaning.
I had no bad effects from the Iverm4ectin. This doctor has also referred me to an Internal Medicine doctor, I have this appointment mid April.
The other reason I’m writing is because I found a small hand held vacuum which is especially for mites. It has also a UV light which only comes into operation when you press down on the machine into the mattress, sheets, duvet, whatever you have on the bed, so it’s pretty safe to use. UV light is supposed to destroy insects. I’m not sure of that fact. I’m using it for the sofas, beds, anything upholstered. I ordered it from Amazon.It does seem to help a lot. You only have to look inside the machine to see how much lint (and eggs) it picks up in the hepafilter. Having tried almost eveything else, I was also feeling hopeless. I had pest control guys come twice with no result, so I have been battling with this alone – husband thinks I’m imaging it too. Pretty common when they aren’t affected.

Guys, kleen green will help. I haven’t managed to get rid of them completely, I’m not sure what my cure will be as the bugs have taken up residence in my feet and I haven’t found a way to fix that yet.

But the kleen green will get your life back so you don’t feel them crawling all the time and the biting will be less.
