I'm getting mosquito-like bites all over my body, but I haven't been outside much this week. My mom says its bed bug bites, but I don't even think I have bed bugs on my bed? Can it happen? The bites are small red bumps and they itch, and I'm not sure if they're mosquito bites or bed bugs. My sister slept in my bed too for a couple days (her room is getting remodeled) but she doesnt have any bites. Omg I have so much bites all over my body and I don't know how they got there and it itches so much..Also, do bed bugs live in blankets or mattresses? Or both? D: I'm scared to sleep in my room now..
bed bugs can be anywhere in your house. if there are multiple bites in a line then you are most likely getting bitten by bed bugs. the itch is different than mosquito bites, but that takes awhile to figure out. as for your sister not getting bit-- my sister didn't get bit either in the same room while I was covered in them. check your mattress specifically under the lining on the sides of the bed. get bed bug spray, spray the mattress, get either a really expensive nice mattress cover, or a vinyl one, the cloth ones suck. wash all of your bed stuff immediately, vacuum and spray the floor. rubbing alcohol kills them on contact so get a spray bottle and fill it with alcohol and be ready to kill. make sure nothing from your bed is touching the ground and helpful tip, they can't walk through petroleum jelly so coat the feet of your bed with it. make sure your clothes and you yourself are clean before you climb into bed. if you have a headboard either remove it, or spray it. i also found bleach wipes helpful in cleaning up. are there small brown lines on your sheets? that is a definite sign of bed bugs. best of luck to you, remember they won't hurt you, they just drive you absolutely insane it also helps if your bed is not touching the wall at all!
get someone to help you flip over your mattress in the evening, and look for small dark spots in groups. Bedbugs hide during the day and come out at night. If you do find bedbugs, make sure not to wear the same pajamas, etc you wore to your bed to another bed, as they can travel in fabrics and you don't want to spread them.
My wife complained that there was a mosquito in the room, so I killed the blood sucking parasite. This mosquito is really starting to get on my nerves now, though I just sprayed it with mosquito repellent, now he'll never have any friends.
