How to get rid of bed bugs in Illinois

  I realized that I had bed bugs in January 2012. I called a pest control company. They did a semi-inspection and gave me a quote of $350 for one room. I would first have to uproot my entire bedroom. I did some research and then bought a mattress and pillow encasement. I also bought diatomaceous earth and a duster. I haven't slept in my room since 1/6/12. After treating, I finally returned last night; and they're still here!!!!! I really can't afford costly treatments right now; but I need to be able to sleep. My daughter has now seen 1 or 2 in her room. I also saw one on a recliner in the living room. Please help!!!

Since bed bugs are so small and can fit in virtually any crack or crevice, it is extremely important that you are able to treat all areas. Since some products cannot be used in specific areas, we recommend purchasing kits and supplement material as they are needed because the kits will provide you with insecticides for all target areas. These kits usually include an aerosol for furniture, a liquid concentrate for baseboards and large general surface areas, and dust for the wall void. If you have any questions on the products or bed bug control, feel free to call us at 1-800-788-4142 or email us at info@pestmall.com.

I used a permethrin only product that came with my cheap ulv backpack sprayer last year with great results(mosquito 86), ran out and went with something that was supposed to last longer with PBO (vector ban plus). It does not seem to be working like the other and looking for something to work well with my ulv which I use to spray all shrubs, bushes, low hanging branches and perimeter of house and any shady area that I think they could be resting at. Any suggestions about application or product would be appreciated. Walterboro S.C. <><
