Bed bugs are insects that feed on the blood of humans. Their bites typically cause small, itchy welts. Although bed bug infestations are becoming increasingly common — and much more difficult to clear — there are some things you can do to get rid of them yourself using natural and non-toxic methods (otherwise, you may find yourself in quite a bit of financial difficulty). This article will provide you with information on how to make your own bed bug spray. Bed bugs are a growing problem around the world, and although methods of pest control are developing, they remain a serious issue. Bed bugs do not just bite humans, but there are other hosts such as dogs and cats. Bedbugs are small flat insects belonging to the family Cimicidae. They feed on human and animal blood by piercing the skin with a long pointy beak. Bites from bedbugs can cause long-term skin damage and affect anyone, even those without an allergic reaction. The first step in getting rid of the problem is to learn everything you can about these parasites.
How To Stop Bed Bug
Introduction
It’s been estimated that bed bug infestation in the United States costs $1 billion annually. Bed bugs are small, wingless insects that survive on the blood of humans, pets and other animals. Their bites cause itchy welts that can be seen on your legs, arms and torso. The best way to prevent an infestation is with early detection. Here are some tips for eliminating bed bugs:
Kill bed bugs during washing or drying.
It’s important to kill bed bugs during washing or drying. The high heat of the dryer can easily kill any bed bugs that may be hiding in your clothes, sheets and towels.
- Wash all clothing at 120 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Bed bugs cannot survive this temperature, so it is safe to use a hot water cycle in the washer with detergent and mild bleach to help kill any remaining eggs that might be on your clothing. If you have time, run each load twice to ensure it has been thoroughly cleaned before drying.
- Dry clothes at 130-160 degrees Farenheit on the highest heat setting possible (usually “extra long”). Bedkins’ infestations are often found in used furniture such as beds and couches because these items are transported from home-to-home without being washed first! This means that you’ll want to make sure no other household members touch these items until they’ve been properly washed/dried for 20 minutes at least three times using hot water only (no fabric softener), then left outside overnight as well before bringing back into your home again – this will help ensure there aren’t any lingering traces left behind by previous occupants who may still be harboring some unwanted visitors! Don’t forget about pillows too – check those out too just incase!”
Make sure sheets fit tightly on mattresses and box springs.
Because bed bugs are so small and can hide in the smallest of spaces, it is important to make sure sheets fit tightly on mattresses and box springs. This will keep them from being able to get into the mattress, where they like to hide during the day.
Bed bugs can live for up to 18 months without feeding, but they prefer warm blood meals—often from humans or pets—so it’s wise to keep an eye out for signs of their activity (e.g., reddish-brown stains). They can be found in mattresses, box springs, bed frames, headboards and nightstands; you may also find them near electrical outlets if that’s where you plug in your phone charger each night.
Bed bugs do not discriminate based on income level or geographical location; they’re found everywhere from low-income housing complexes to luxury hotels around the world!
Use a mattress protector and pillowcase.
You can also use a mattress protector and pillowcase to prevent bed bugs.
The mattress protector should be washed weekly in hot water, and the pillowcase every week or two in hot water as well. Bed bugs can live in the seams of mattresses and box springs if they’re not protected by these items. The best way to prevent bedbugs from going unnoticed is by using an extra layer on top of your bedding every night, especially if you have guests staying over!
Vacuum your home regularly.
Vacuum your home regularly. Bed bugs are small and flat, so they can hide in hard to reach places. This means that it is important to clean upholstered furniture and other areas of the house like beds, bed sheets, and pillows. The best way to do this is with a steam cleaner or vacuum cleaner. If you choose a steam cleaner make sure that it has an extraction hose so all of the water can be removed from the area being cleaned before drying out completely (this will help prevent mold growth).
Clean and dry items that cannot be washed.
- Use a vacuum cleaner to remove bed bugs and eggs from furniture, rugs and other items:
- Use a damp cloth to remove bed bugs and eggs from hard surfaces:
- Use a stiff brush to remove bed bugs and eggs from hard surfaces
Clean all clothes, linens, curtains and other washables in hot water and dry on the highest setting.
The most effective way to kill bed bugs and eggs is with heat. Wash all clothes, linens and other washables in hot water (130°F or higher) and dry them on the highest setting. Bed bugs can’t survive in temperatures above 120 degrees F, so if you are in a hurry, you can dry clothes on the highest setting for 15 minutes. If you prefer not to use heat treatment, chemical insecticides are available that can be applied to clothing before washing.
Store clothing and other fabrics in plastic bags or storage bins with tight-fitting lids to keep bed bugs out.
- Store clothing and other fabrics in plastic bags or storage bins with tight-fitting lids to keep bed bugs out.
- If you’re storing your items outside of the home, make sure they’re away from walls and cracks in the foundation.
- Be sure to dry clean or launder all clothes and bedding before bringing them back into your home.
