If it has 8 legs it is not an insect, probably a mite.

>>2973501
In the bedroom?
You can kill mites by freezing the blankets, mattresses, pillows etc.

Yes, they are mites. I was hoping someone could tell me which species they are.
In the bedroom? Yes, in the bedroom.
Freezing the blankets does kill them, quite effectively actually.
Just can't see how you'd freeze a mattress. You must have a walk in freezer.

Build an enclosure and purchase 100 lbs. of dry ice. If you *really* wanted to kill the things you could spread diatomaceous earth over all of it, but you need to wear a mask and that's a huge mess. Honestly, you're better off just buying a new mattress. What are they, like a few hundred bucks?

>What are they, like a few hundred bucks
Yes, around that. Anyway I hoovered my mattress and will assume the thing is mostly clean. So no buying new mattress right now.
Besides, I'm a poorfag

Why do you ask? Are you getting bug bites at night? I’m gonna break you heart and tell you that it’s bed bugs. These little mites exist on practically everything already and don’t cause bug bites. Not really.

I realize I’m doin an awful lot of assuming here, but if it is bed bugs, an exterminator won’t do shit until you find one of them and put them in a plastic bag. When that unfortunate day comes, tell them you want Aprehend treatment. It’s a fungus that eradicates them by latching onto their bodies and having them bring the disease back to their nesting areas. It is devastatingly effective, and I wouldn’t recommend any other treatment on planet earth. It does take a couple more weeks to fully kill then all, but once they’re gone, they’re gone for good.
