July 5, 2015, I put a piece of heavy polyethylene plastic sheet between the box springs and the mattress on our bed. This drastically cut the number of bed bugs we found with us in the bed.

I then noticed bed bugs walking away from the dog where she lay on the floor. I put some Frontline flea and tick killer on her. After than, I saw dead bed bugs on the floor, but no more walking around.

Dec 2016. Saw the last live bedbug.

Oct 2017. Haven't seen any since. I think we won!
