Ok.. Ever since i was little, i have had a bug phobia.
Suddenly. Starting last year. I have found bugs in MY room.
Nobody elses. ONLY my room. My dad hasnt washed his sheets in YEARS and has not had a single bug problem. I clean my room all the time, and have pretty much been following the no food rule because of the bugs. I have 2 dogs, and NEVER had let them into my room. And the bugs are only in my bed. No where else. This summer, i found these little black things crawling up my pillow. Then i found these maggot worm things that were really small near the end of my bed. And tonight, this brown shaped beetle thingy that smelled when i crushed it. At first i thought it was a fly.
I am litterally in tears, and refuse to go back into my room.
And we have done room clean overs, washed the floors and everything, but yet we couldnt find any bugs!

At the grocery store, you'll find foggers specifically for bed bugs. Set one off in your room and keep the door closed for about four hours. If you can, stuff a towel under the door to keep it from leaking out and have everyone go outside for a while.



Then after airing out your room, wash your sheets, pillows and comforter. You may have to take the comforter to a laundromat in order to find a machine that it fits in.



Carefully follow the baseboard caulking all around the room and if there's any hole in the caulk, fill it with silicone, do the same around the windows.



Get some moth balls, remove the outlet covers and pop a few moth balls into the walls or into the socket box, scatter some moth balls under your bed and put a bounce sheet under the mattress between the box and the mattress as well as one on top of the mattress before you put the bed sheets back on. If you have carpet, get some mothball flakes (they sell those at the grocery store too), sprinkle them on the carpet, walk on the flakes to crush them, wait a few hours then vacuum the carpet.



You'll want to do this every few weeks for a while.

Maybe a new mattress. Wash your sheets in the hottest water available and with bleach and also your mattress pad. It seems like it may be something in the walls or right outside your window that is able to come in so check out those areas. I have those phobias too and don't feel right going to sleep for fear something will crawl in my nose or mouth. Try spraying or putting bug killer outside around and in the dirt of your windows and all sides of your bedroom outside. Then do the same inside too. Vacuum often in your bedroom and then spray again. Check all areas of your walls and floors and see if you find any open areas to fill in with some sort of filler and also spray again. That ought to trace where they are coming from somehow. also don't forget the ceiling and light fixtures and just everything imaginable. hope this might help in such an awful problem.

Oh girl, you have a case of the bed bugs. Wash all of your bedding in extremely hot water and run dryer for over an hour. They can't withstand high temps of heat. Wear long sleeved shirts and sweats to bed for awhile so you don't get bit. There are various home type remedies. Lice furniture spray, kerosene, **** and span antibacterial spray, hair spray, bayer insect killer, rubbing alcohol... My own personal belief or what I would start out with first is rubbing alcohol. Apply the alcohol to all of your floors, carpets, baseboards. Chances are they are also in other rooms of the house. Rubbing alcohol kills these critters on contact. If none of these remedies do the trick, you might have to call a pest control company.

can't just be bed bugs if you have found maggots beetle like things, though i agree that the black specks are most likely bed bugs. Is there any rot INSIDE of the walls??? There must be a wet, damp and dark place for maggots to be inside your room. . .( r u absolutely sure no one has let the animals in your room, maybe a sibling or parent??? )
