I have bed bugs!

This sucks. I've had recurring rashes the last month or so and my Ma said she was worried it might be bed bugs and it's true! Woke up and found two bugs by my head, one dead one alive. I crushed the live one and it bled like a mofo, I can't believe so much blood would be in a pretty small bug. they look exactly like bed bugs I researched on the internet

This sucks, I can't exactly call in pest control as I got a 400 watt HPS in my closet in my tiny studio apartment, my dirt and chemicals and shit stashed stealthily throughout the place, and the whole place smells way too strong of weed. Well I could call em in but I think way too much paranoia to go through. I'll probably try ordering the insecticides and shit and cleaning my place real good, get rid of them the DIY way. I'm a DIY guy anyway since I do grow weed.

I'm trying to view it like a kind of purgatory until I get my weed growing op going big time, or get a good job with my degree in a few years (probably computer science). It's also kind of fun because scratching them feels DAMN good, and also in a stoic way, training myself to not itch my various itchy spots because the bites don't even show if you don't scratch them, otherwise they turn into huge and itchier mosquito bite looking things, though usually many of them in a cluster. So I guess this is a motivator, into either really working towards my degree, weed growing business, or most likely turning me into that crazy guy from Bug (or Bugs? the Ashley Judd movie).

BUGS EVERYWHERE! I just can't see them right now.

My advice to avoid these bastards is to always, ALWAYS insist that they replace a used mattress when you move into a new place (my dumbass didn't because the mattress already looked real nice), and also to be wary when staying at hotels, even nice ones. I stayed recently at a real nice casino hotel but did dumb shit like leaving luggage and clothes on the bed, so I might have picked them up that way.

sorry to scare fellow stoners, who are probably very prone to freaking out about bed bugs.

Food for thought when your high and pariniod. They may be in the other apartments just making their way to you. The complex may need to spray so look into storing some of ur shit off site at a friends house or ??? Keep the plants going but b ready to move them.
 
I suggest you go to Home Depot, Lowe's and get one or two Hot Shot pest strip2's and buy A bottle or two of Garden Safe Fungicide3. Lay the strip near your plants away from children and pets and spray Fungicide3, mediumly, under the bottom of the leaves and lightly on the top of each leaf. Wait 3-5 days (even if you see bugs the next day after applying). Then on the 3-5th day spray each leaf underneith heavily and the tops a medium spray of each leaf. Haven't seen any live tiny fckrs ever since. Keep in mind the Fungicide spray is safe up until harvest supposably but still recommend removing strips 2-3 weeks before harvest and stop spray minimum of 9 days before harvest. Also note if you spray everyday, pests may become immuned to one particular spray rather quickly so its stressed to use only when necessary and in the most distant time sequence closest to the pest's reproductive cycle (anywhere from 3-9 days depending on their best reproductive weather which happens to be the best for bud growing). It's good to have another -icide on hand for rotation and it's best to have 3 different brands to have in rotation every 2-3 applications (if the fckrs are seeming invincible).

if it were me and if i couldn't afford a new mattress i would bug bomb the house and then dust the mattress and house with boric acid witch is safe for people , hell they used to wash newborn babies eyes with it mixed in water but kills the hell out of bugs . then vacuum , repeat in a week

Bed bugs are drawn to CO2 also... Kinda hard to avoid CO2 when it’s so important to have, especially when growing. But, you can mix baking soda and water with a little lavender oil in a bowl and set it in the room. It produces CO2 and they like the lavender smell. Leave it over night and check on it in the morning. If you have bed bugs, they should be in the bowl of water. But you gotta make sure that they have an easy entrance into the bowl, even if it means you gotta make the little devils a ramp into it. Good luck!

I think after ten-plus years those bedbugs are dead bugs.
