I awoke at an AirBnB covered in bites and with small spots of blood on the sheets. I woke up with even more bites a few days later and knew I must have somehow transported a bug in my luggage – even though I washed all my clothes and dried them in the dryer to heat treat them!
After purchasing covers for all the beds in my house and applying the diatomaceous earth, as well as placing my previous doonas away from the bed (forcing any bugs in the doona to crawl through the powder to get back to the bed I stopped having any bites and was sure they were all gone. I haven’t had any other issues and the bugs never spread to the other beds in the house which was fantastic!
I really like how science-backed this method is, using steam, diatomaceous earth and barriers around the legs of your bed. Pest control companies are extremely expensive, less effective and use poison, so thanks Bed Bug Barrier for your great research and products!
I have a bed with really large diameters, so my only extra advice is make sure you measure the diagonal length of your bed legs (not just the length of one side) to ensure the diameter fits into the bed bug leg protectors.
10/10 and 5 Stars! Thanks Bed Bug Barrier!
