the way they work is to basically wander around in the dark, and move towards heat. so if you're spraying, get the tracks from the bed to any heat (computers in the room really attract them).
you just brought the mattress home yesterday? I'd rather sleep on the floor than worry about it. but really, lay on it for 20 minutes and see what crawls on you.

Well, I slept in my bed last night and I have no bites. I woke up at 5 am with a feeling that I was being bitten, so I did the logical thing and freaked out. I jumped outta bed and flipped the switch and there was nothing anywhere. Must have been the sheets or my boxers. Though I couldn't get rid of the creepy crawly feeling. I guess that's to be expected.

Like I said, the only time I was bitten was when I was in the living room, so I'm really hoping it was just an odd one that was on the movers truck or moving stuff. I just finished spraying raid for roaches, and might buy something more bb appropriate. There were no corners of the mattress or box spring which had any visible bb's or anything else visible (i.e. characteristic rust spots and so on). I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I've had my share of bug related things: ticks and leeches, mosquitos and malaria, had lice in grade school, etc etc etc. But something about bed bugs is especially gross and I'd much rather not have had anything to do with an infestation, even if it wasn't directly me.

I'm going to ask my housemates if I can spray the entrance to their doors and near the legs of their bed when they leave for work tomorrow. Maybe even the legs for the couches. Maybe even the perimeter of their room since they have wood floors.
