ritthe, you salt remedy works well for leeches only.  Never heard anyone use such for bed-bugs.  LMAO  BTW, dharara, if you have bed-bugs, you're doomed son!  You gotta get rid of the entire furniture in your apartment.  These parasites do not just stick to beds (as per their name).  A person I know who worked at the Marriott (or one of those high end hotels) said that her hotel had to strip all the rooms on a certain floor just because there was a bed-bug incident in one of the rooms.  Hope you all now realize the severity of the problem...No buying second hand furniture from those ads and defn, pls refrain from the Nepali mentality of picking up perfectly normal looking furniture from the street...For all you know, it could be infested with those damn bugs!!
