How To Get Rid of Bed Bugs

We’ve all heard the saying “sleep tight, and don’t let the bed bugs bite.” This statement has never been taken too seriously- until the outbreak of bed bugs this summer. If you’re concerned about a possible bed bug outbreak in your home, there are both things to do, and things not to do and we’ll outline them in this article and website.

If you’re under the impression you have bed bugs, your first instinct might be to sleep elsewhere. Wrong. It’s important to keep the bugs isolated. By going to someone else’s house, or even to another bed or couch, there’s a high risk that your little bed visitors are going to come along. This would make the treatment to how get rid of the bed bugs even more difficult if they’re spread around.

Don’t change anything about your daily routine if you’re looking to get rid of bed bugs quickly. Doing everything exactly as you normally would is the most effective way for everything to get back to normal.

Start your own creepy crawler collection. While you’re most likely going to want to get rid of the bed bugs altogether, it’s important to save the bugs that you do find. You’ll need evidence of bugs to show any landlords or exterminators. When you do save them, make sure to tape them to a surface where they will be easily visible. Bed bugs are small and often hard to see with the naked eye.

Check your body for any unidentified markings or bites. These bites will generally be small and red, but they can be bigger too. The hard thing about these bites, however, is that not all doctors can identify them. Bed bug bites aren’t that common, but chances are, any red bumps on your body are from bed bugs and not any other insects. So check any other conditions you might have found online off your list.

Also, don’t let yourself fall under the impression that you’re the sole victim of bed bug bites. These bites are a type of allergic reaction. Some people in your household may not show any signs of bites. This doesn’t mean that they haven’t been bitten. It could just mean that their skin didn’t react to the bites. Keep in mind that bed bugs don’t only bite at night, so be just as aware and alert during the day.

Make sure you keep everything in your house just the way it always is. Don’t remove any pieces of furniture. Throw nothing away. There are ways for all furniture to be completely restored and cleaned. You don’t have to get rid of everything you own to assure that the bed bugs won’t return. You don’t have to put everything into bags either. With bagging, there’s a chance the bed bugs will make their way into the bags. If this were the case, you’d be storing bugs away- essentially leading to another possible outbreak.

It is a good idea though to focus on any clothes and bedding in your home. Heat is the best thing for these items. Wash any linens and then place them in a hot dryer for a few hours. Even when you think these items couldn’t possibly get any drier, put them back in for a second round. It’s better to be safe than sorry. In this case, it would be okay to bag items immediately after to be put away into storage.

It’s also important to either do extensive research on how to properly deal with the extermination process on your own or wait for a pest company to come and treat your home. Don’t run out to the store and stock up on chemicals without educating yourself. Improper use of chemicals can actually intensify the problem. Exterminators who do not specialize in bed bugs most times do not know how to properly deal with the situation either and can also make matters worse. Make sure that if you opt to hire an exterminator that bed bugs is their specialty and check references. There are only a select few who really understand how to deal with these resillent bugs.

Don’t listen to that little voice in your head that’s encouraging you to get a bug bomb either. Setting off a bug bomb is one of the worst things you could do. Your bed bug situation could intensify if you did decide to give into this voice of bad reasoning.

While the name may imply bed bugs only inhabit beds, these bugs will hide wherever they can. They’re attracted to other pieces of furniture, especially those of a softer nature, but they’ll also hide in electrical sockets or in cracks on the floor. They’ll sometimes set up fort outside the bedroom in a kitchen or a bathroom.

Remember that bed bugs are a serious problem and it’s not one that will be solved right away. The treatment must run its course so don’t expect everything to go back to normal immediately after an exterminator’s visit. It could take multiple treatments until any progress is made. Follow up on treatments or any other procedures that your exterminator might recommend to secure a clean house.

Yes,but the problem is how do you make bed bugs drink alcohol?

Bed bugs are best killed with boiling water or steam. If you can hire a steam machine use it. The people in Asia kill them with heat. It's the only way, I think they are immune to most chemicals by now. You will need to do it every few weeks until they have all gone as there will be unhatched eggs which may not be killed.
