Ali, Croydon 2132

I bought two chairs at an auction and later found what I thought was a cockroach—I’d never seen a bedbug before. About a month later, I started getting bitten and couldn’t figure out why. A pharmacist eventually helped me identify the signs of bedbugs. We tried spraying, but it had little effect. Then I came across Bed Bug Barrier. I bought the mattress protector, steamer and powder. I followed the video instructions for steaming and used the powder as directed, including around the bedroom door as an extra precaution. I also steamed all of our furniture and used the powder (on double sided tape) for legs of tables and chairs.
It’s now been over a month and I haven’t had any more bites.
Note: steaming the bed frame was super effective – have a dust pan ready with rubbish bag for removing the bugs.
