Today, three days after finally having a bed to sleep on, I woke up with multiple bedbug bites. I can't use my blankets, wear any of my clothes and it's back to sleeping on the floor for me. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I discovered I have bed bugs. I have nowhere else to sleep and I won't be able to afford a new mattress for at least a year. I'd better get used to these giant welts. FML
Today, after three visits from exterminators and another from a steam cleaner, I still have bedbugs. FML
Today, after being moved to three different employer-provided apartments because they all had mold and electrical problems, I requested a bigger bed. The bed they delivered had bedbugs. FML
Today, my girlfriend and I moved back in after over a month of couch hopping and $2,000 of heat and chemical treatments for a chronic bedbug issue. I just found bedbugs on my legs. We've used all our favors and have nowhere to go. FML
Today, I discovered that my bed has a flea infestation. I discovered it after sleeping naked in it for about an hour. FML
Today, it's the third day that I can't sleep. Somewhere in my room, there's a mosquito craving for my blood, and every time I'm about to fall asleep, I can hear it flying around. I'm covered in bites, even in places that barely see the daylight. FML
Today, after finally going to therapy for anxiety like everyone wanted, I discovered the itching feeling that kept me awake at night was actually caused by a bedbug infestation. FML
Today, I woke up to something crawling on my leg. Thinking it might be a spider, I jumped out frantically to check. The good news: it's not a spider. The bad news: it's a bedbug. My apartment was just treated for them. FML
Today, while working the graveyard shift at my hotel, it felt a little chilly, so I grabbed a blanket out of the box we usually store old blankets in. Twenty minutes later, the live-in maintenance man casually remarked that those blankets are all infected with bed-bugs. FML
Today, despite putting all the food in the fridge, taking all the rubbish outside, cleaning the house top to bottom and setting up bait, we're still dealing with a bloody huge ant problem. I've now got a rash all over from being bitten while I sleep. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Call an exterminator. Same thing happened to my friend and he resolved the problem quickly.

Dude, this sucks. I had bed bugs once cause half sister's mom is nasty and my sister didn't realize it. My advice is to put your clothes in the dryer for a few hours to kill the freaking things, then put them into an air right bag as soon as possible. Do not wait to do laundry, take showers everyday

Bed bugs only need to eat once a year to survive. They populate quicker than roaches. They are known to live in electrical outlets etc. they are usually seen right before dawn. Get fossil shell dust/flour (Diatomaceous Earth) from a garden nursery/center store. Exterminators charge up to $600 just to apply this. Use this once a month. I put it on my mattress. Got a mattress cover and put it on. My entire apartment complex became infested with bed bugs except for my unit bc I used this. and it will get rid of them.

I applied it everywhere and kept it on the borders of the floor

Never suffered from bed bugs but did have scabies once, had to wash all the clothes and sheets I’d been in contact with, and spray the mattress too, it was awful.
