I have bed bugs and an exterminator sprayed my bedroom?

And gave me a new bed frame, sticky pads on bottom of bed legs and mattress cover for bedbugs. I got bit again cause I noticed blood stains on bed sheet how are they getting up my bed? The bed is away from the wall and my old bed frame is gone

    Well bed bugs aren't rodents, nor are they pets but:

    If you are still getting bit you need to throw away EVERYTHING near the infested area (including the new bed frame and mattress since they are now infested), this includes night stands, dressers, lamps, alarm clocks, surge protectors.....EVERYTHING. Because they can hide in the tiniest of cracks, especially in anything covered in or made out of cloth or wood.

    Pillows, pillow covers, blankets and ALL clothing etc...needs to be thoroughly washed in hot water and dried in a dryer at the highest temperature. (Dry cleaned if not safe for a dryer).

    Anything you want to keep that isn't cloth MUST be frozen for at least 48 hours. If you have too many things to freeze you can seal them in garbage bags, very very tightly in multiple bags and freeze when you can.

    If they can't be washed and dried or frozen. Throw it OUT!

    After that the floors need to be steam cleaned at a very high temperature, room needs to be bed bug bombed and steam cleaned again.

    This may seem like a lot but these things can live for a year with out feeding and can be hiding ANYWHERE. Even going to these extremes it's still not fool-proof. There is no 100% guaranteed way to get rid of them in one shot. It took me several tries and they even showed up in a wicker basket as I was moving from 1 city to another. Fortunately with persistence I have been Bed Bug free for over 3 years now.

    There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/9GP17

    This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.
