How do i keep bed bug out of my house?
Answers:
I had bed bugs last summer and they were the hardest thing to get rid of! I have bite scars all over my legs, which are finally starting to fade.
I don't know how to prevent them. But I can tell you how I got rid of them.
Go to a hardware store or something similar (I went to ACE Hardware) and get an insecticide that includes MALATHION 50. A certain amount of this is diluded with water and sprayed on the infected area, such as the bed, headboard, carpet, and floorboards. These annoying pests can hide any sized crack and lay a lot of eggs. The spray will kill the bugs, but not the eggs. Expect to spray a couple of times, about every two weeks, until they are gone. Also, wash any sheets, pillows, or any fabric that could have come in contact with the bugs. If they can't be washed, spray them as well.
The key to getting rid of bed bugs is to be persistent. After all, they are.

Bed bugs are small, brownish, flattened insects that feed solely on the blood of animals. The common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, is the species most adapted to living with humans. It has done so since ancient times.
Treatment Procedures
Bed bugs were treated years ago by wholesale spraying of beds, floors, walls, furniture, etc. with DDT. This practice is no longer permitted. Thoroughness is still very important, but treatments today are generally more targeted and judicious.
Controlling Infestations
Bed bugs are challenging pests to control. They hide in many tiny places, so inspections and treatments must be very thorough. In most cases, it will be prudent to enlist the services of a professional pest control firm. Experienced companies know where to look for bed bugs, and have an assortment of management tools at their disposal. Owners and occupants will need to assist the professional in important ways. Affording access for inspection and treatment is essential, and excess clutter should be removed. In some cases, infested mattresses and box springs will need to be discarded. Since bed bugs can disperse throughout a building, it also may be necessary to inspect adjoining rooms and apartments.
What should you do if you find bed bugs?
Because several different kinds of insects resemble bed bugs, specimens should be carefully compared with good reference images (such as those in this document) to confirm their identity. If any questions remain regarding the identity of your samples, then submit them to a competent entomologist for evaluation (see information below).
Once their identity is confirmed, a careful plan should be devised to eliminate the bed bugs in a manner that promotes success while limiting unnecessary costs and exposure to insecticides. Don’t discard furniture and don’t treat until and unless you have a plan.
