The Do-It-Yourself bed bug treatment industry is a growing concern; amid the sad truth that the number of people being subjected to the scary world of bed bugs is on the rise. Victims need affordable, easy and safe solutions in order to solve this dilemma themselves. A consistent trend among victims seems to indicate that hiring a professional pest control team must cost an arm and leg. In this article you’ll find several household items grouped into a DIY home remedy kit which can help you save close to $100. One of the easiest ways to save money when fighing bed bugs is to do it yourself. As I have said many times, there aren’t many companies that will not charge you an arm and a leg to get rid of bed bugs. There are very few businesses that both provide a product and service and have no over-head like retail stores do. However, choosing to do it yourself has its advantages and disadvantages. Let’s look at some of the advantages and disadvantages of doing so:

Bed Bug Do It Yourself

You can get rid of bed bugs on your own.

There are a few different ways to do this, including:

Insecticides—You can use insecticides (like sprays and powders) that kill bed bugs. These aren’t as effective because they only kill the adult insects and not their eggs or larvae. You also have to reapply the insecticide every three months if you want to prevent re-infestation.
Bed bug removal services—A pest control company will come into your home and use chemicals (or steam) to eliminate any bed bugs they find in your home. The downside is that it often costs more than $1,000 per treatment!
DIY methods—Some people choose to fight off their infestation by themselves using products like diatomaceous earth (DE), boric acid powder, or hydrogen peroxide vaporizers/foggers (which are very dangerous). These methods generally don’t work because it takes multiple treatments over time before all of the insects are killed off—and even then there’s no guarantee! And even if these methods did work…you still wouldn’t know how many eggs were left behind!

If you do end up getting bit by one of these tiny creatures then make sure you wash your sheets immediately when coming back inside after being outdoors overnight so as not attract more bites.”

It is a cheap method but will be little time consuming.

One of the biggest benefits to this method is that it is cheap. However, there are some cons as well. It can be time consuming and you will need to do more than once in order to make sure that all of them have been killed. If you don’t continue monitoring after using this method, then the bugs could come back which would mean that your efforts have been wasted.

If you decide to use this method on your own, be aware that it can be dangerous if not done correctly or with care and caution because you are dealing with pesticides after all! The effectiveness of this method is debatable because sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t work at all also depending on where exactly these bed bugs came from and how many times they’ve already been treated before by professional exterminators (who should probably still take care of them). Some people say that even though pesticides can kill off most insects like mosquitoes or cockroaches within 24 hours; when you’re dealing with bed bugs in particular since they like hiding inside mattresses and other similar places; then killing them off just takes longer than usual due to their ability survive for long periods without eating anything else besides blood from humans!

When dealing with any pest infestation yourself instead of hiring professionals who know what they’re doing; then chances are good things won’t go well unless someone else helps guide them through everything step-by-step until completion.”

Vacuum the entire house.

Use the vacuum on all surfaces, including walls and ceilings. Pay special attention to cracks and crevices where bed bugs like to hide. Use a vacuum with a beater bar or stiff bristle brush to dislodge bed bugs from their hiding places in furniture and other items. You can also use the hose attachment if you prefer not having an extra attachment on your vacuum cleaner at home.

Make sure that you get rid of any clutter in order to make vacuuming easier; this includes moving furniture away from walls so that there is access for hard-to-reach areas, such as under beds or couches where clutter might be mixed with dust bunnies (which are actually just dead skin cells).

Get rid of carpets in the house and replace them with rugs or tiled flooring.

The first thing you must do is get rid of carpets in the house and replace them with rugs or tiled flooring. This will prevent the bed bugs from hiding behind the carpets, as well as making it easier to detect any bed bug activity.

Bed bugs can hide in the cracks of carpets, so removing them will help you find them more easily. They also like to hide behind pictures, in the cracks of wood and walls, as well as inside furniture such as dressers and beds.

Heat the entire house to kill bed bugs.

While heat is the best way to kill bed bugs, it can be difficult to achieve the proper temperature in your home. A portable heater will help you reach 120 degrees Fahrenheit and keep it there for at least 30 minutes. If you don’t have a portable heater, try using a space heater and placing it in the room with your belongings. Be sure to use an accurate thermometer to check that everything has reached at least 120 degrees Fahrenheit before lowering the heat level.
