Ensure there are no bed bugs in the room before you begin cleaning.
Before you start cleaning, check the room for any signs of bed bugs. Look for:
- Bed bugs on the mattress and baseboards
- Bed bugs in the drawers and closets
- Bed bugs in the bed frame (beneath or behind it)
- Bed sheets
Vacuum all cracks and crevices around your mattress, headboard and baseboards.
Vacuum all cracks and crevices around the mattress, headboard and baseboards. Put the vacuum bag in an outdoor trash bin immediately after vacuuming to avoid bringing any dead bed bugs indoors.
Vacuum again to remove any remaining dead bed bugs or eggs, which are difficult to see until they are crushed or squashed by a machine. The vacuum cleaner should be emptied before being put away so that no one else can come in contact with any potentially infected dust particles remaining inside the machine
Place dryer-safe items from the room in the dryer at high heat for 30 minutes to kill any remaining bugs or eggs.
When you’re ready to begin the extermination process, it’s important to take the time to determine whether or not an item can be placed in a dryer. If your dryer has a childproof lock, make sure it’s not engaged before placing items in the machine.
If you’re unsure if an item can be placed in a dryer, check for tags or labels that indicate as such. If there are no tags indicating that an item shouldn’t be put into a dryer, then place it inside at high heat for 30 minutes. To ensure all bed bugs are killed and eggs aren’t hatched before they’ve been dried out, run multiple cycles of 30 minutes each if necessary. After each cycle is complete and all items have cooled off (make sure they aren’t hot), check them with an infrared thermometer; if any part of the material reaches temperatures between 120°F (49°C) and 130°F (54°C), place them back into another drying cycle until they reach those temperatures.
Run the vacuum again over any areas you’ve cleaned or treated with products. Throw away the vacuum bag afterwards in an outdoor trash bin.
After you’ve cleaned, vacuum the mattress and boxspring again to remove any bed bugs that may have been dislodged from the seams or crevices. You should also vacuum around baseboards and other areas where bed bugs could be hiding. When you’re done vacuuming, throw away the vacuum bag in an outdoor trash bin (do not throw it in your house’s garbage can).
Discard infested bed sheets and pillowcases in an outdoor trash bin.
Discard infested bed sheets and pillowcases in an outdoor trash bin, preferably a plastic bag. Do not put them into the trashcan, as bed bugs may crawl out of the bag and into your home.
If you have some time before you need to get rid of the bags, consider freezing them first to kill any remaining bed bugs. If you do this, make sure that the bags are completely sealed so that no air can get inside.
Do not leave bags outside for too long (e.g., overnight). Bed bugs cannot survive in extreme cold temperatures but they may still be able to escape from frozen-solid material if they are given enough time to thaw out again once inside your home or apartment building!
Remove mattress and box springs from bedframe and treat with boric acid.
- Remove mattress and box springs from bedframe and treat with boric acid.
Boric acid is a natural insecticide that is safe for humans and pets, including birds. It can be used safely around children and pets as long as you use it in the proper way.
- Vacuum up all dead bugs, eggs, and other debris from your bedroom (including carpets). Pay special attention to areas where bedbugs typically hide during the day such as baseboards, floorboards, cracks in walls or furniture etc., then discard vacuum bag immediately outside your home so that it does not return inside again!
Empty drawers of affected dressers and coat them with boric acid as well.
- Empty drawers of affected dressers and coat them with boric acid as well.
- Boric acid can be purchased at most hardware stores, but if you want to make sure you’re getting the strongest solution possible, you should buy it from a pest control company or online. Once you have your powder, dissolve about 1 tablespoon in a pint of cool water and pour into a spray bottle for easy application. It’s safe to use around food and animals; just keep it out of their reach until it has been diluted with water!
Clean all clothing in dresser drawers on a hot cycle and store clean clothing in sealed plastic bags until bugs are eliminated.
- Clean all clothing in dresser drawers on a hot cycle and store clean clothing in sealed plastic bags until bugs are eliminated.
- Don’t store clothing in plastic bags for more than a few days, as this will degrade the fabric.
You can make a diy bed bug killer at home using these steps
Bed bug killer is a mixture of boric acid and food-grade diatomaceous earth. This combination is safe to use around pets and children. It can be used on bedding, furniture and carpets to help kill bugs that have been brought into the home by travelling companions or through your own belongings.
There are several steps involved in making this pest control product at home. The first step is to mix equal parts of boric acid powder and diatomaceous earth powder together in a large bowl or bucket until they are thoroughly combined into one substance. If you don’t want to use all of this mixture at once, you can store it in an airtight container such as an old margarine tub for later use on other surfaces around your home where pests may appear after initial treatment has been completed inside each room where critters may be present today or tomorrow morning when they wake up hungry again!
Conclusion
The first step you should take is to ensure that there are no bed bugs in the room before you begin cleaning. This will help prevent spreading them throughout your house and into other rooms where they might be harder to treat. The second thing you’ll want to do is vacuum all cracks and crevices around your mattress, headboard and baseboards, which should be done twice per week until no more bug sightings are reported or seen. After vacuuming has been completed successfully then it’s time for step number three: placing dryer-safe items from the room in the dryer at high heat for 30 minutes to kill any remaining bugs or eggs left behind after their death march into oblivion with their exoskeletons now scattered across my floor thanks so much guys!
