This is Kinda Gross


Shari sent me the above Gummy Bedbugs last week. No one has ever sent me bedbugs in the mail before, and I hope no one ever does again. Shari, these things are totally disgusting. And yet, I fell on the floor laughing when I opened the package.

I have to admit, it's a strange feeling to see that someone actually wants to market bedbugs as a TREAT. And it's a bit disturbing. Even the scarecrow on the box is disturbed. He thinks the bedbugs are all funny and cute until you actually lift the cover and see that he's got them. THEN he's not so happy. THEN he's gotta figure out which exterminators to use, how to deal with his landlord, who at City Council he can go to for help, and empty his savings account into doing a lifetime's worth of laundry for the next six months. Not so cute any more, are they?

I thought there might be some kind of satisfaction in eating a bedbug, after the way they fed on me for so long, but the truth is, I couldn't bring myself to put it anywhere near my mouth. You can put so much sugar coating on it, but the truth is, a bedbug is a bedbug. YUCK!

Shari, thanks for the laugh.

ADDENDUM: EW. Billy just ate one. He says, "Payback's a BITCH, ain't it?"

I'm glad they made you laugh -- I couldn't eat them either, but I died laughing when I saw them, and knew I had to get them to you somehow.

Someone should invent a medicine people can take or put on their skin that poisons the bed bugs when they bite you.

Yes! This is what I've been thinking may be the only way to eliminate the surging problem.... very much like flea medication for cats/dogs.

Wanna know wat i do for bed bugs? Get yourself a bottle of Denorex with coal tar shampoo, you know the shampoo for your dermatitis? Anyways let me tell you all a story. A little over 2 years ago my duaghter came home with lice in her hair. Dont ask me how she got it. I suspect the public school. Anyways the school nurse told her mother to get some over the counter poison and apply to her hair. Yes you all know what that stuff is, its friggin poison, So im telling myself “NO FRIGGIN WAY IM GONNA PUT POISON ON MY DAUGHTERS SCALP” hell what does the stupid school nurse knows anyways? Shes just following guidelines. Duhhh idiots. Back to the story. So I got online and i dug and dug and dug. Man i learned soo much about lice in days it was friggin insane. I literally learned their life cycle, from egg to nymph to adult and so fourht. THATS THE KEY learning how to control any bug infestation. So hears the crazy part. I concocted a mayonnaise mix with olive oil and crushed garlic. let it sit in her hair for 2 hours. Ahhh i wasnt too satisfied with the result. but i did some damage to the lice anyhow, but unfortunatly they came back. So I got the gears in my brain grinding again and read somewhere that lice hate zinc. Infact it actually kills them on contact. So I went to a pharmacy looking for a shampoo that contained zinc. lo and behold I got a bottle of Denorex with coal tar. I was determined to find an alternative for sure. Poison is poison kn matter how litely you put it. Anyways i washed her hair with denorex for 5 minutes, that stuff makes your scalp tingle like crazy. and as im washing her hair, OMG it was literally raining lice on the tub floor. I could not belive it. So i washed her hair again 3 days later for a total of 2 weeks of washing and my daughter was lice free for good. Incredible!!!!!! I jumped for joy. Man after going though this I just cant imagine how people take shortcuts and listen to a school nurse on how to handle this kind of stuff. All you need is the energy to educate yourself and it will make all the difference. Enough of that story. Now for the real interesing part. I just started getting these little blood suckers in my house. Yeah bedbugs. Dammit i said to myself. Wat da fck am I gonna do? I snared 2 of those little suckers and put them away in a plastic container. Sealed it shut!!! Im cracking my head on how to go about this. Then I remembered that bedbugs are parasites right? Just like lice are parasites. Any insect that likes to suck on your blood is a parasite. Got the gears grinding again in my brain. Then it hit me. DENOREXXXXXXXX. I took a very small amount with an equal amount of water to try an experiment. Shook the bottle well for a minute. Now for the ultimate test. I opened the container. I screamed “I GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU LITTLE BASTARDS!!!!!!” Then i spareyd away. Guess what. By the time was about to pull the trigger on my spray a 3rd time the little fkcrs died instantly. I said NOOOOO WAY HOLY CRAP. Denorex killed them on contact. Amaizing discovery in my part and alll this researching on my own. Im in the process of spraying my whole apartment with denorex. Om getting ready to spary my sofas and bed. Remember, the key is knowing their lifestlye from eggg to nymph. If you learn that then it shuold be alot easier getting rid of the little bastards. You might think that sounds crazy but its much safer to me than pesticides in your home. You should see some of the side effects of those pesticides. Pretty scary. So I tell you all tell those dumb ass politicians you dont need a bed bug taskforce, lol soo ridiculos and all of u get inovative on your own. Get yourselves a few bottles of denorex and spray away!!!!!!!

Please test it for yourself and see the results

Oh By the way did I mention I used to be a pest control operator for 6 years?
lol
happy hunting guys.

P.S. Not a single penny of taxpayer money went into this experiment.
Thank you for reading my post and I hope this information helps you all out
