The best route is to call an exterminator. Unfortunately it may take multiple trips for the problem to be eradicated. \n\nIf cost is an issue, there are home methods that work, but you MUST be vigilant, as it may take some time.\n\n#1) Clean, clean, clean. Wash EVERYTHING with hot water. Steam clean the carpet. Steam clean the seams of your mattress. Look around your clock radio. They like to hide in cracks. Look along the baseboards of the room. \n\n#2) Buy some type of insecticide and follow the directions completely. Repeat as needed. \n\n#3) Clean again!\n\nYou can do this on your own, but be prepared for a battle that may last a few weeks. \n\nIf you have any questions, feel free to comment and I will do my best to answer. I work for a LARGE health department and help people with this problem almost every week.

Kill it before it bites.

There is a shampoo called RidX.  It comes with a special comb to comb all the eggs out.  There is also some spray for the hats and caps, pillows and such.  All beddig should be washed and sterilized.  The spray works well on the mattresses as well.  Long process, but the sooner you start the sooner they can get rid of them.  The sores were probably caused from scratching.  Please take care of this right away as everyone in the family or that comes in contact with that child can get them.

Here in Indiana we have a major infestation in our homes.  Last weekend, I had to kill 200 of the little pesky buggers!  I take a paper cup and fill it with about 2 inches of rubbing aclk.  then I swoup them in that cup by the windows, etc.  It takes care of them instantly.

First of all... there is no "easy" way to get rid of lice.  Get some Rid from the store and use it.  But the shampoo alone isn't going to do any good.  You have to sit down and go strand by strand and pick the nits out of the hair.  This is where the term "nit-picking" comes from.  It's very tedious and time-consuming.  Also, you have to go through the house and wash all pillows, blankets, etc.  Take stuffed animals and dolls and either put them in the dryer for 20 - 30 minutes (the heat will kill the lice) or you can put them in a plastic garbage bag, tie it up and don't open it for 6 months.  There's also a spray that Rid makes that you'll need to buy to spray down mattresses, furniture, carpet, etc.  If the over-the-counter Rid shampoo isn't working, there's a prescription shampoo that the doctoc can prescribe.\n\nLice is spread in "clean" hair.  It does transfer by using the same hairbrush, but it also transfers from wearing the jacket of someone who has lice or brushing up against their backpack.  It's transferred very easily and in ways you wouldn't really think of.  Once the lice is gone, if there is an "epidemic" at your child's school or daycare, you may want to put hair gel, mousse or hairspray in your child's hair to make it 'no-so-clean'.  The lice can't stick to the hair as well if you have any of those products in the hair.  But it still isn't a fool-proof way of avoiding it.  Also, in my experience... I have found that lice are more attracted to light coloured hair rather than dark coloured hair.  Not sure if that is an actual fact... it's just been my experience.\n\nI tried all the tricks.... the mayo, the oil, etc etc.. none of it works... the only true way is to do what I've said.  And even then... say a few prayers.  Lice are not easy to get rid of at all.  \n\nAll I can say is thank goodness my girls are teenagers now and I don't have to worry about them getting it from school or daycare anymore.  What a pain.  Good luck to you.

Use citronella oil (or anything that has citronella in it: candles, etc.), it is an organic way to repel mosquitoes.

Use a sh*t (caca) cataplasm.  I know it sounds gross but, hey it works!

it is possible that you have some other type of creature in your bed.\nYou need to have the mattress cleaned to be sure.  Try sleeping with bug spray for a night or two.  If that doesn't help, then it's possible you have some sort of flea or bedbug.  \n\nFor itching bites, you can use a hydrocortozone (sp?) cream.  Like benadryl.  THey say that calamine lotion works, but it's ugly and never works for me.  Some use vinegar.. but that stings.  Some use peroxide, and some use toothpaste.  both of these things will "dry out" the poison in the bite and work, but are not great for your skin.  \n\nUnfortunately though, mosquito bites are one of those things we all have to live with sometimes.  Just try not to scratch them "raw" that will leave scars.  Yuck.\n\ngood luck!

Reducing clutter is a necessity. Belongings strewn about rooms afford many places for bed bugs to hide, and impedes inspection and treatment. Infested bedding and garments will need to be bagged and laundered (120°F minimum), or discarded since these items cannot be treated with insecticides. Smaller items that cannot be laundered can sometimes be de-infested by heatingfor several minutes in a clothes dryer. Other items can be wrapped in plastic and placed in a hot, sunny location for at least a few days (the 120°F minimum target temperature should be monitored in the centermost location with a thermometer). Bedbugs also succumb to cold temperatures below 32° F, but the chilling period must be maintained for at least two weeks. Attempts to rid an entire home or apartment of bed bugs by raising or lowering the thermostat will be entirely unsuccessful. Most housecleaning measures are of little benefit in bed bug management. Site-specific vacuuming, however, can help remove some of the bugs before treatment with insecticides. Bed bugs (especially the eggs) can be difficult to dislodge. Optimum results will be achieved by moving and scraping the end of the suction wand along infested areas such as seams, tufts and edges of bedding, and the perimeter edge of wall-to-wall carpets. Afterward, dispose of the vacuum contents in a sealed trash bag. Steam cleaning of carpets may be helpful for killing bugs and eggs that vacuuming may have missed. \n\nWhile the former measures are helpful, insecticides are important for bed bug elimination. Pest control professionals treat using a variety of low-odor sprays, dusts, and aerosols. (Baits designed to control ants and cockroaches are ineffective). Application entails treating all areas where the bugs are discovered, or tend to crawl or hide. Some bed bug species are parasites of bats or birds, and may bite people if the wild hosts are no longer available. If bat bugs or bird bugs are involved, roosting and nesting sites should also be treated and the animals excluded from the building. \n\nThere is an awesome site that goes into How Infestations Originate, Controlling Infestations, Treatment Procedures, and Avoiding Infestations.

Get one of those bug bombs, and leave for a few hours.  If you have pets you should move them somewhere else.  I know, take them on a road trip with you?  Even the goldfish.

I had this problem myself this winter and this is what actually worked for me!\n\nFIRST, FIGURE OUT THE SOURCE!\n\nI tried putting all of my fruit up, and they still were many of them.  But I noticed one day that a few were hanging around my sinks (kitchen and bathroom).  I poured bleach down each sink and after a few hours, noticed that there were a decrease in them!  (which lead me to believe they were drain flies)  So I took two peoples advice by pouring hot water, more bleach, and then drain-o max gel to eat away all the food or whatever that was in the drains. \n\nSo far there a big decrease in numbers!  (and there were so many I would not let anyone come in my house out of shame)\n\nAlso there is another trick that I am using to get rid of the others since I think I got rid of the source...\n\nGet a jar or a wine bottle.  Pour apple vinger in the bottom and put a paper cone/funnel on top.  They do go in and can't come out =)

To get rid of them in the house, try this:\nGet a shiny foil pie pan and a bright light (like a desk lamp) Put a couple of drops of dish soap in the pan and some water and mix them together - not super sudsy. Put the pan in a dark room (at night is ideal) and shine the lamp right into the center of the pan. \nThose little buggers will be attracted to the shine, jump in, and because of the soap, can't jump out, and will drown.
