Bed Bug Spray Safe For Babies
Introduction
Bed bugs are nasty, gross little critters that can cause serious problems for you and your baby. Thankfully, there are some good bed bug sprays that are safe for babies to use. In this post we’ll show you the best bed bug spray for babies, what you should do if your baby gets bitten by a bed bug and how to prevent them from getting into your home in the first place. Read on!
Best Bed Bug Spray For Babies
There are many different types of bed bug sprays on the market, but not all of them are safe for babies. When you’re trying to kill pesky bed bugs in your home, it’s important to choose a spray that is non-toxic and won’t cause harm to your baby’s skin. Bed bug sprays that contain chemicals such as pyrethrin or permethrin can cause severe allergic reactions in children and adults alike. If you’ve noticed bugs crawling on your child’s cot, we recommend using natural ingredients like peppermint oil or tea tree oil instead; these oils work as repellents rather than pesticides (which kill both the pests and their eggs).
What to Do About Bed Bugs When You Have a Baby
If you have a baby, there are several things you should take care to do. First, make sure that your child does not sleep in the same bed with you. Second, don’t use the bed for anything other than sleeping at night. Third, don’t sleep with your infant if possible—this can help prevent them from getting bed bug bites themselves! Fourthly… okay this one’s kinda obvious but don’t leave your baby unattended on any furniture or surface where they might roll off of and land on their head (like in a crib). Fifthly: Don’t put the crib outdoors where it will get sun exposure—light can kill off some of those nasty little critters hiding underneath!
Finally – if all else fails and your baby gets bitten anyway? Get them treated as soon as possible so they don’t get sick later on down the road when they’re older and play sports or go camping with friends.”
How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs in a Baby’s Bed
To get rid of bed bugs in your baby’s bed, you will need to vacuum the mattress and box spring. You can also use a steamer to kill the bedbugs. There are also several products available that will help control and eliminate these pests from your child’s room. These include foggers, sprays, shampoos and powders.
- Vacuum cleaner: This is one of the best ways to remove bed bugs from your baby’s sleeping environment if they have been brought into the home on clothing or other items that have been used by an infested person or returned from another location where there were reported problems with these insects. Use a crevice attachment on your vacuum cleaner so you can get into tight spaces where these critters tend to hide during daylight hours when they are not feeding off their host (you). Vacuuming alone won’t kill all stages of eggs because they hatch inside walls/carpets instead of under mattresses but it should reduce their population significantly enough that other treatments like steaming or spraying with insecticides should work well enough afterward.*
- Washing all linens in hot water: It is important to wash any linens (sheets) used by babies before putting them back on beds again because some types of laundry detergents may not kill all stages at once; however this method does not work for fabrics like comforters or blankets which may contain many nooks & crannies where larvae might hide.*
How to Treat Bed Bug Bites on Babies
If your child is bitten by bed bugs, they may experience itchy red welts on their skin. These bites can also cause babies to have trouble sleeping and make them more irritable. If your baby is bitten by a bed bug, here are some steps you can take to treat the bites and prevent them from getting worse:
- Wash the affected area with soap and water to reduce swelling and irritation.
- Apply calamine lotion or hydrocortisone cream to relieve itching. Do not apply topical steroids unless prescribed by a doctor, as these could lead to serious side effects if used for long periods of time (more than 2 weeks).
- Avoid scratching the affected area as this can spread bacteria into surrounding tissue, causing infection or further irritation of already-bitten areas.
