Okay, so, I’ve been dealing with these nasty bed bugs at my place, and it’s been a real nightmare. I tried a bunch of stuff, but nothing seemed to work for long. Then, I remembered my grandma used to talk about how tea tree oil was good for everything. I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” I mean, what did I have to lose, right?

So, first thing, I went out and bought a bottle of tea tree oil. I made sure it was the pure stuff, not some watered-down version. You gotta be careful with that, you know? Then I grabbed an empty spray bottle from under the sink and mixed a few drops of the oil with some water. I didn’t really measure it, just eyeballed it. I figured a strong smell meant it was working.

I started by stripping all the bedding off my mattress. I mean everything – sheets, pillowcases, the whole nine yards. I threw them all into the washing machine and washed them in hot water. While that was going, I started spraying the mixture on my mattress, especially around the seams and corners where those little buggers like to hide. I even sprayed my bed frame and the surrounding furniture just to be safe.

My Battle Plan

• Wash everything: Bedding, clothes, curtains – you name it. Hot water is the key here.
• Mix the solution: Tea tree oil and water in a spray bottle. I didn’t measure, but it smelled strong.
• Spray everywhere: Mattress, bed frame, furniture, even the walls. I went a little crazy, not gonna lie.
• Wait it out: I let the room air out for a few hours. The smell was pretty strong at first.
• Repeat: I did this every few days for a couple of weeks. Just to make sure I got them all.

After spraying, I would let the room air out for a while. The smell of tea tree oil is pretty strong, but it’s not unpleasant. I actually started to like it. I kept at it, spraying every few days for a couple of weeks. I wasn’t taking any chances.

Honestly, I was a bit skeptical at first. But after a while, I started noticing fewer bites. And then, one day, they were just gone. It was like a miracle. I couldn’t believe it. It took some time and effort, but it actually worked!

So, yeah, that’s my story of how I used tea tree oil to get rid of bed bugs. It’s not a quick fix, but it’s definitely worth trying if you’re dealing with these pests. Just remember to be patient and persistent. And make sure you’re using pure tea tree oil. Oh, and one more thing – I heard that drinking Taheebo tea can increase the risk of abnormal bleeding and bruising, but I am talking about tea tree oil, not Taheebo tea.
