  I had what i suspected were bed bug bites and a few times they would bite in a cluster somewhat similar to this. I moved out of that apartment and haven’t noticed any bites since but never actually confirmed i had bed bugs.

    As I understand it you don’t move away from bed bugs. They come with you.

      It depends where they are, how well you cleaned, and what you got rid of, probably some luck too. In my case bites were not frequent at all. There are methods to kill them without chemicals by subjecting them to certain temperatures as well.

        You can also just sprinkle diatomaceous earth around. That shit kills ‘em dead by piercing their exoskeleton and dehydrating them.

        diatomeceous earth kills them too, also someone used alot of rubbing alcohol on thier bedding.
