Spread across the world during war times, pests have ruled the lives of humans. But thankfully, a few brave souls have lived to tell their tale in every living place on Earth — even the verminous dwelling places of pests. Today, we’re going to tell you how one woman used her hands to kill bed bugs and so can you. We’ve all heard the saying, “Give ’em enough rope, and they’ll hang themselves.” I found this to be true with bed bugs. An exterminator at a local hotel said that in the recent infestation he encountered, a lot of guests killed the bed bugs by themselves using the old-fashioned method of their hand. If you encounter a bed bug infestation and want to get rid of them, here’s a quick and easy guide for killing these pests without having to call your exterminator. Like most people, I don’t know much about bed bugs. Only that despite my being part of the grown-up world, I’m now faced with the possibility of encountering them. Still, as a non-scientist, I think it’s high time that we find out. With a team of microbiologists on hand, BedBugTabs (the team behind the viral “Do a Barrel Roll” campaign), and Cricket Liu of The Blog Professor at NYU, let’s take a look at what will happen if you try to squash a bedbug with your hand. Bed bugs are blood-sucking parasitic insects that feed on human blood. They are flat and brown in color, about the size of an apple seed. They’re NOT easy to kill, but there are easy ways to prevent them from coming into your homes in the first place.
Can You Kill A Bed Bug With Your Hand
Introduction
Bed bugs are one of the most common pests in the world. Over the years, these tiny insects have learned to adapt and survive in human homes. In fact, according to Bed Bug Central, there were over 57,000 confirmed cases reported to pest control companies in 2019 alone. That’s a lot of bed bugs! If you’re worried about bed bug infestations and want to avoid nasty bites from these pests as much as possible, it’s important to know how to do so safely. The less likely they are to bite or spread disease, the safer you’ll be in your home or business. One way is by using your hand to kill bed bugs. This article will explain what happens when you kill a bed bug with your hand and why it’s better than other methods like using your foot or a shoe.
Can you kill a bed bug with your hand?
Bed bugs are not easy to kill. They are small, fast and hard to catch. You need to prepare yourself physically and mentally before you attempt to kill the bed bug with your hands.
- Be in a calm state of mind
- Be prepared to get dirty
- Have strong arms and hands
How to kill a bed bug with your hand
Bed bugs are tiny and hard to spot, so you might have difficulty finding one. If you’re not sure if you have bed bugs, use a flashlight to look for dark spots on your mattress or sheets—the insects can be up to 5/8 of an inch long. If they’re in the vicinity of your bed, they may also be found behind headboards or nightstands.
If you do find evidence that there’s a bed bug infestation in your home, consider calling an exterminator. They’ll know how best to handle the problem without having to resort to extreme measures such as killing them with your hand. However, if this isn’t an option (or even if it is), there are steps you can take before taking matters into your own hands:
- Wash all clothes that were worn during travel or any other time someone may have come into contact with a possible carrier of these pests; put them back into storage containers until laundry day arrives again! This will help avoid spreading further infestations throughout other areas within your home if one does exist yet undetected elsewhere at this point in time already too….
Can You Squash Bed Bugs with Your Foot
Yes, you can kill a bed bug with your foot. However, it is not recommended to kill bed bugs with your hands as they can bite and transmit diseases.
When smashing a bed bug on the ground or wall, be sure not to squash it too much as this will release its blood into the air which may cause allergic reactions in some people and also has an unpleasant odor. If you are concerned about killing them in this way, then consider using insecticides that are designed specifically for use on bed bugs.
Things You Must Know About Bed Bug Infestation
If you have a bed bug infestation, there are many things to know about them. First and foremost, bed bugs can be found in all types of places. They are not dangerous but can cause itching and redness when they bite. If you suspect that you have bed bugs, there are several ways to kill them: by hand or foot; other methods (such as steam cleaning); insecticides such as pyrethrin or boric acid; or even vacuuming the area where they live (although this will only work if there aren’t many).
Bed bugs are not resistant to insecticides such as pyrethrin or boric acid – so if one method doesn’t work for killing them try another until one does!
You can kill a bed bug with your hand; however, you must first prepare yourself physically and mentally for the task.
