Say Goodbye To Bed Bugs
Published on November 01, 2018 by Alana Korol
Let's face it—having bed bugs is a nightmare no one wants to endure. You may be embarrassed because you think you invited them by having an unkempt house. This is not true. Bed bugs have been in the finest houses and hotels, as well as a one-bedroom flat. Relax—Bedbug Store has got you covered.
How Can Bed Bugs Get In?
Bed bugs are outstanding hitchhikers as they cannot fly or jump. They can, however, crawl up furniture, bedding, luggage, and anything you can carry. Bed bugs are speedy at multiplying, too. Once you have one, the next thing you know, there's a colony, and now you are itching and being attacked at night.
Due to their unique body shape, they can crawl through the tiniest of spaces and enjoy the dark. They are crawling out and biting for their meal of human blood. You will notice in the light reddish-brown remains and possibly their exoskeleton.
The only positive side to bed bugs is that, unlike mosquitoes and ticks, they do not carry any diseases.
Remove Bed Bugs Permanently
1. Using a vacuum, suck up all the bed bugs around. Start from the top and end at the floor. If they try to run down, you will still get them. Hit the bed, mattress, box springs, floors, corners, and other tight areas. Then, immediately dispose of the vacuum bag or empty the container into a plastic bag and then throw that outside. Leaving the bag in your house could infect another area of your home.
2. Return the bedding, clothing, curtains, and anything infested and washable and head to the washing machine. Using hot water to clean and the highest dryer setting will kill any bed bugs attached to your items. To eliminate bed bugs, stuffed animals, toys, or shoes should be put into the dryer for at least 30 minutes.
3. Spend the money and get a good mattress and box springs cover. You will want a cover with zippers and tightly woven material, as bed bugs cannot penetrate that material. Any remnant bed bugs will be dead after a year.
4. Now, you can open the bags and brush off any remains of the bed bugs. A stiff brush is best, as it will loosen the grip of the bed bugs and eggs. You can also vacuum and clean up the exoskeletons. You still want to dispose of the container in a bag and take it to the outside garbage can.
5. If you see any cracks or wiring holes, seal them up. If the wallpaper is peeling, repair it with glue. Closing all these areas will keep the bed bugs out.
This may seem like a lot of work, but in the end, you sleep better and safely, so isn't it worth it? Make sure you really look at the infested area and think like a bed bug: "Where would I hide?" This way, you will see where any problem sections need to be patched up. And when you are done, you can finally breathe easier.
