Suggest Remedies For Bed Bug Infestation

Posted on Wed, 5 Apr 2017
Question: Pest Control has seen my photos videos and a bug I saved. After reviewing what they saw they determined it is bedbugs. I had my room treated for bed bugs. They will return and retreat once I get rid of the bugs in my hair. I have thrown all furniture away and purchased new. Along with encasing the mattress and pillows. The linens are brand new and they're changed daily and washed in hot water with bleach or non-chlorine bleach and dried on high heat for at least 50 minutes or more when removed from the dryer they are put in bags
The towels are brand new using a brand new towel everyday one for my body one for my hair they are also washed in hot water with bleach or non-chlorine bleach and dried for at least 50 minutes or more on high heat and immediately put in bags once removed from the dryer. Same thing with my clothing, When I use the lice nit comb I am removing bugs. Thank you for your answer however I do not agree.

Thank you
