Dear all,



I moved to a new house in Kyrenia, which had been empty for some time.

I cleaned the house etc, but i think there are mites in the bed.



I have many tiny bite marks on my body, and i am sure they are not from mosquito or the smaller version named kupdusen.



I cleaned all the bed linings etc, used a steam vacuum cleaner on the bed.



any ideas to kill those bastards? or should i buy a new bed?



thanks.

If you were in Europe, you could have it professionally done...however, you could take the mattress outside, and wash with a kind of insecticide (the stuff that is used for scabies infestations) and then leave in the sun to dry off. But before you do this, you may want to find out if you have an allergy to the washing powder here, as this can also cause little bite like marks.

by the way,

kupdusen is Turkish for sandfly.
