[jdean]

Has anyone encoountered bed bugs in Phuket and, if so, what to do about them?

Wash all the covers a few times and fumigate the room. Any pest control company will help you with this problem. Chiang Mai Pest Control seems to have a good reputation.

they are hard to get rid of,had to throw out loads of stuff last year,2 things that will help,steam and the ice in a can. also vacuum the area,look around light fittings and plug sockets.look for little black dots around any are,not just the hem on the matress.,they dont always live in the bed. if you can,empty the room,do so,and then go in at 3 to 4 am that is when they are most active,if they are outside the bed you will see them.

i think You should listen to livinginkata and bobbytin. But beware they using very strong pesticides in Thailand. Don't sleep in the bedroom(s) for a while..You can get very sick..

What do you mean by "steam", also what is "ice in a can"? Do you mean dry ice?

yes the stuff in a tin for computers i think,also a steamer for upholstery,you can hire one. both things kill them. we washed everywhere with vinegar,sheets and stuff we threw out. we sprayed the room and all the cracks and crevices,left it 2 days, went back in one morning and saw a few on the floor,4 am. we looked around,the only place we had not thought to look was in the sockets,there was little black dots around the socket. they had actually set up home in the conduit,they are difficult to get rid of,if you found one there are more. be very careful with the spray.do not use it in a closed room,we left the room,a dorm,empty for a week,and check all the time. we have not had them since. there is not a lot you can do to stop them,once rid,just keep looking for the black dots,google it you will see.
