Ky. woman tries to kill bedbugs, burns down apt.

CBS

(AP) CARLISLE, Ky. - Fire officials say a central Kentucky woman doused her couch in alcohol in an attempt to kill bed bugs, but dropped a lit cigarette on the furniture and started a fire.

WLEX-TV in Lexington reported that about 30 people in a Carlise apartment complex lost their homes in Friday night's blaze.

Firefighters disappeared into the smoke as they climbed the ladder to make sure everyone was out the building.

It took hours to get a handle on the out of control fire.

Everyone made it out of the apartments, but four people were treated for smoke inhalation.

Complex resident Jackie Bond told the station that she lost everything, but "As long as everybody's alive, I'll find a way."

But did it work ?

You can do a much better job than exterminators. If bed bugs can crawl from other apartments, all of exterminators fail, but you will never fail with an innovative method. The video and attached text describes how to build sticky barriers to protect top of bed, tables, chairs, clothes, and shoes. After you heat bedding sheet, pillows, blanket, and clothes you are going to wear in a dryer, top of bed and your body are protected by sticky barriers anytime anywhere at your home.

Traditional methods have extremely low efficiency. Chemicals kill bed bugs on contact. The residue is not active. Fogger bomb is useless. DE powder slowly kills bed bugs which bite and lay eggs before dying. The killing speed may be slower than the egg laying speed even though you wash, vacuum, and spray daily. The mattress encasement was developed from one of the worst ideas because a minor design change seals all of bed bugs in a bedroom instead of sealing mattress only as shown in the video.
Two factors guarantee to stop bites forever after initial easy effort. 1) You can't find any possible bed bug attacking route. 2) People have proved that barrier method works by sleeping in a bathtub which is too slippery to crawl. Why do experts never think about the sticky barrier method? The special sticky tape is patent pending and bed bugs can crawl on any well known double sided sticky tapes.
Bed bugs may live one year at low temperatures without activity; they die quickly at room temperatures if they actively crawl every night for seeking food when they can feel the smell of sleeping people. I caught bed bugs into a glass bottle when I applied this barrier method. The last one died in 3 months.

The barrier method will not fail because it is not important how many bed bugs will be trapped. Even the tape does not catch any bug; you have won because all of the bugs can't lay eggs and will starve. Only the barrier method and heating entire house method can immediately stop bed bug bites, but the heating method fails if bed bugs can crawl from neighbors.

To fight with mosquitoes, everyone closes windows; no one opens windows and sprays chemical daily. To fight with bed bugs, you have the similar choices. The barrier method solves the problem immediately even the tape does not catch any bug; how dummy it is to spray chemical to every bed bug and egg and fail if you miss a few of tiny targets because survived bed bugs bite and lay eggs every night

So wait a muinute...did she get all the bed bugs?

[quotelawrence]

actually after seeing Kim with West this woman sounds smarter, odd how women can stoop to their own levels, good thing she never heard about the ice pick story,

[SUZAMBA]

If this woman had a moment of sanity, she would have realized that Alcohol will burn, and probably not the bedbugs! As soon as the felt the heat, or the smell for that matter, they said "Exit, stage Left!"

[w_roos]

Good news -- she drove most of the bedbugs out.

[Raptorsmasher]

Stupid is as stupid does!

[formerlyluvnut]

TOTAL waste of good alcohol & a good cigarette. GAWD them thar southerners are something.

[crankyoleman]

I wonder is this was section 8 housing?

[formerlyluvnut]

With that grammer where do you live; in section 7???

[Bush-cheney-R-Terrorists]

formerlyluvnut - I think you meant, grammar. Cranyoleman's error was also spelling or typographical (if not is) and not grammatical.

@atomic:

Have you ever thought of the possibility that she could NOT afford to hire an exterminator? She is probably existing on SS or disability income which is usually less than a thousand dollars per month.

[Dontbeslow]

But she could afford CIGARETTES? How's the possibility of "A JOB"? Every fast food restaurant is perpetually hiring.
