Some People are not affected by bed bug bites - True  Not everyone reacts to bed bug bites  Bites are usually in rows  Do not transmit diseases  Secondary infections can occur

 Most people who show symptoms develop them after 10 days the first time they are bitten.  If you have been bitten before then reactions may be immediate.

 Quick movers ◦ Adults can crawl about 4 ft/minute ◦ Nymphs can crawl about 1 ft/minute 2½ minutes for an adult to make it from a TV stand to the pillow 10 minutes for a nymph Bed bugs cannot fly and will not jump from the floor to the bed. - True

 Clothing and linens do not have to be washed first  Down-filled items resist heat  1 hour on high heat  Bed bugs die at 120 ° F after 1 minute of exposure

 Thoroughly vacuum the carpet areas  Dispose of vacuum bag  In between uses place vacuum in heat or isolate in sealed bag

 Use a steamer that reaches 115°-130°F. It will kill the eggs and nymphs and if you get a direct hit will kill the adults.  But even if you don’t kill the adults at least the steam will flush them out of their hiding place. Then you can use a HEPA vacuum to scoop them up.
