When people realize their homes have been invaded by bed bugs, they experience mixed emotions of fear, shame, anger, and anxiety. Their lack of knowledge of what to do leaves them feeling hopeless. If you are facing a bed bug infestation, know that you can get rid of bed bugs by following the right steps and using the right products.

By no means is bed bug infestation removal easy. Bed bug adults grow to 4–5 mm long and 1.5–3 mm wide. Newly hatched nymphs are translucent, lighter in color, and browner as they mature. They can be challenging to spot at such a tiny size, but they are visible. The adult bed bug is brown to reddish-brown to translucent, depending on if they have fed or not, oval-shaped, flattened, and about 1/16 to 5/8 inch long. If you know where to look, you will find them for eradication. 

You have to be willing to perform a thorough inspection. Leave nothing unturned when inspecting for bed bugs, and no site should be ignored that may be a hiding place.

Bed bugs often hide behind wall sconces, electrical switch plates, and wall posters between books and magazines on shelves and in racks. Inspect all the places near sleeping areas, which may mean separating the bed frames. Once you know where the bed bugs are or estimate the severity of the infestation, it will be time to prep the room for treatment. 

Preparation entails a thorough cleaning. Launder bedding, vacuum, and clean up any visible bed bugs, discarding the bag immediately to your outside can after the vacuuming is complete. Once a room has been prepped, it is time to begin treatment, which entails hot steam, fossil shell dust, and bed bug traps.

People can get rid of bed bugs by performing step-by-step procedures. All furnishings must be treated for effectiveness. The most important thing to remember is persistence. It is through persistence that you will achieve a bed bug-free environment.
