I had bed bugs after sleeping in a hotel room, I got lucky and noticed them right away. I sprinkled diatomaceous earth on everything and Washed all my clothing. I then vacumed all the diatomaceous earth up. I spent only $40.00 for the diatomaceous earth. Now I put it in the lining of my suitcases when I travel, so if they hitch a ride they die. diatomaceous earth, this stuff works wonders!

House centipedes. Those things are creepy. But since nothing is creepier than bedbugs, I could definitely put up with them if I knew they were preventing them...although now I'm having horrible images of centipedes creeping up my box spring in search of bedbugs. I can't believe New York is dealing with this epidemic. I've put up with so much to live in this city, and I thought by this point I could deal with anything. But I will not stay here and pay out of the nose for my apartment when the risk of bedbugs is so high. Ha! House centipedes. Those things are creepy.

House centipedes feed on spiders, bedbugs, termites, cockroaches, silverfish, ants and other household arthropods. Many homes have them - they are very very fast and creep out of cracks in the walls and floors. If you see them, turn a blind eye for a second, they will be gone before you know it...but whatever you do, DON'T KILL THEM! They are your friends. Ever since I heard this I just smile when I see them knowing they are helping me out... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scutigera If you want to get make sure your house stays Bed Bug free get your home a few House Centipedes.
