Although a licensed pest control to perform these activities is probably more efficient, safe and legal, can be expensive, especially for an entire house.
If you want to do it yourself, these steps will help you get rid of bed bugs:
Start by finding the bugs. Sometimes easier said than done, its flat shape enables them to barely noticeable gaps in the width of a credit card.
Instead of ineffective generalized syringes, armwith a torch light and turn their nests. Search for adults, teens and eggs and I noticed that sometimes the individual eggs distributed throughout the house.
Disassemble bed frames and components at their edges. Try the same error and the skins of the nymphs moulted light brown. Remove the gauze fabric under the box springs, to inspect and treat because it is a good chance that you are inside the mattress. Check under the fabric stapled to the framebox springs.
Holes or tears in the gauze or fabric of the mattress probably means bugs and eggs to be there. Given that the restrictions apply to the treatment of mattresses with insecticides, pest control companies recommend that infested beds be discarded. But even if you do, you need to get rid of the bugs already at home, otherwise the new mattress is infested.
Cracks and crevices of bed frames, side pockets and supports the railing, head and foot boards have allexamined more closely, especially if the frame is wood. Bedbugs prefer fabric, wood and paper more than metal or plastic.
If you can not afford to replace the bed, completely empty. Brush also helps. Try to treat the bed with a portable steam engine. It does not kill insects and eggs in the spring box mattress or hidden.
Apply insecticide on the mattress, box springs and bed components without spraying the mattress, sheets, blankets orClothing.
After the spray and powder packaging, your mattress and box springs in a resealable lid to another. If you only cover your mattress and box springs in plastic, the bugs will chew right through. Tela is probably more comfortable and safer. Allergy supply companies sell zippered encasements for dust mite prevention.
Keep the mattress for a year or 18 months sealed securely to destroy the life cycle of the bacterium. Regularly check the bag for damage, ifYou can find any holes or cracks, seal them with a stable band, and any errors are trapped die.
Only apply insecticide on a mattress, if the label specifically mentioned, and very few do. If you find one, they are considered a light mist to the entire mattress, opening seams, tufts, folds and then the chemical penetrates the skin. Allow to dry completely before using. Dealt directly never sleep on a mattress without sheets and do not treat mattresses of childrenor sick.
How to stop bugs from crawling on a bed, pull away from the bed frame, wall, tuck sheets and blankets so they are off the ground and the legs of the bed are in dishes of mineral oil or water with a drop of detergent.
Remove and examine Headboards secured to walls, as this is one of the first places to head for the insects. Also among the items stored under the bed to hide.
Bedside tables empty and beliefs, to remove drawers, examine the interiorand out, then turn to inspect below, looking for cracks, corners and niches.
Check upholstered chairs and couches, carefully inspect the seams, tufts, skirts, and crevices under the pillow, especially when used for sleeping.
Bed bugs like crawling upward to hide in broken images, tapestries, curtains, folds, wallpaper, cracks in the plaster ceiling and wall moments.
Other places to find bed bugs:
- Electric Fields
- Plants
-Cracks in wood molding
- Wall paper seams
- Wallpaper lose in the bed
- In radio, telephones, watches, televisions and smoke detectors. How to open, tap the smaller devices in a pocket or on tape, then do not skip the error and to conceal
- Under the guidance of tack from wall to wall carpeting, especially behind beds and furniture.
- Stored in cabinets Underwear
- In lingerie
- Within wicker furniture
- Second-beds, beds and furniture and recentMattresses offer fewer places to hide.
Why is infested with bed, curtains, pajamas, clothes and stuffed animals that can not be treated with insecticides, must be wrapped and washed in boiling water, 120 degrees Fahrenheit minimum and dried with a warm, or be eliminated. If it is completely dry and very hot, dry for another 20 minutes in the dryer and, of course, not on the clothesline.
Dry cleaning works well, but it is to tell the cleaning are infected, or prior to the elementsit dry in a dryer at medium setting, which is below 160 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
The same goes for toys, shoes, backpacks and items are not washable, heat them in a dryer for 20 minutes. Or wrap them in black plastic bags and protect it from direct sunlight for at least a couple of days.
After washing, drying and cleaning, bag sealing elements, airtight plastic container until beside her.
Bedbugs also die when exposed to below freezingTemperatures for at least two weeks. So if you have the space, you can put some items in the freezer. Raising or lowering the thermostat is not good enough.
Cleanliness is the key, so as to thoroughly clean the affected areas and those adjacent to start. Vacuum accumulated dirt and debris. Replace the eggs with the wash infested surfaces with a stiff brush and clear of places that might hide limit.
With a strong desire to bed bugs from cracks and crevices, remove the vacuumalong baseboards, around the bed, is headboards, footboards, mattress seams, tufts, buttons, edges of the sheets, the carpet edges, particularly along the tack strip to remove insects and eggs. When done, throw the vacuum bag in a sealed bag of garbage.

Treat your home with a product whose labelhave bugs and the control must have a long-term effects, otherwise return.
Read the labels and applies only if you fully understand your instructions. She says no insecticides or pesticides on mattresses or surfaces that are in direct contact with a person, unless the label is explicit. Some products contain chemicals that are unsafe for humans and pets.
Bug-treatment products are usually one of three ways:
Insecticides 1Powder
Containing ground glass or silica dust and cause the error to dry. Only for cracks, crevices, wall voids, attics and cavities, for example, a tubular frame bed, which are places where bed bugs hide. Do not dust on carpet or rugs tread distributed persons or animals.
2 Contact pesticides
Pyrethoids contain one or more knock-down and kill the insects immediately after contact. If, as treatments result in cracks and crevices where bed bugs apply. Hide
3 insect growth regulators
These affect the reproduction of insects and to reduce the populations. Do not kill themselves so often faster plan as a supplement to other insecticides as part of the whole treatment of bed bugs.
Consumer products with ingredients pyrethrins, resmethrin (0.3% spray) and Allethrin are effective. Other even more powerful to be used only by professionals.
Secure all food and dishes to insecticides. After ten days, wear asecond treatment to kill the nymphs after hatching. And after ten days, a third treatment.
Changes needed to make your home
And caulk all holes. Fill all cracks and crevices in walls, around baseboards and moldings. Cracks in plaster and glue down loosened wallpaper.
For your protection, remove nests or nests of birds and bats and the home front, and all openings.
As a home remedy you can sprinkle boric acid powder in their attemptsNests, but not directly on the mattress.
Inorganic materials such as diatomaceous earth, also known as silicon dioxide or silica, and silica aerogels can kill, but is unlikely to order your entire problem. Try to keep the spread of this non-toxic powder you buy in the shops of feed and feeding, around the perimeter of your room and if the powder bed bugs Cross Fell in love with him, you dehydrate and die. Also inserted in cracks and crevices.
Lures and based adhesiveDo not fall for insects. Neither foggers, bombs or total release of bug spray insecticides, actually spreading the bug and make it more difficult to eradicate.
Natural remedies like tea tree oil diluted in a position to provide limited relief but is unlikely to remove an infestation of bed bugs.
Some home remedies using bleach, which kills on contact and spray hot steam from a powerful steam cleaner in tears for 3 seconds at a time.
But bed bugs arepersistent, resistant insects. They tolerate heat up to 100 degree temperature, a short period in the freezer, most pest control treatments and can live for a year without eating. If you want to get rid of everything you need to stay aggressive until they bite more and are no longer signs of habitation.
