[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. We had bbs in our rowhouse. We discovered them early, and we were able to get rid of them. My advice for you:

1. Do not try to eradicate them yourself. Spraying on your own can drive them into your walls and worsen the problem. Call an exterminator. (We used Western Pest)

2. Follow your exterminator's advice to a T. If he says put all your stuff in bags and wash everything in hot water, do it.

3. Be prepared to live in bags for about a month.

4. Be prepared to throw out things if need be. We ditched a rug that had been in our bedroom.

5. If you don't want to throw out your mattress, buy an encasement that will seal the bbs in.

6. Don't be too disheartened by what you read on Bedbugger.com. I actually had to stop reading that site because it freaked me out too much. You can get rid of bbs. We did.

7. Good luck and big hugs.  [/quote]

Same experience.  A good encasement is a must - don't bother with those $10 things you get at Bed Bath and Beyond.  A good case can run $100  each but that's when our bites finally stopped.  [/quote]
