How To Remove Bed Bug From Home
Introduction
If you suspect that you have bed bugs in your home, act quickly. By identifying the problem and taking steps to remove it, you can reduce health risks and keep your home free of these pests. Here are some tips on how to remove bed bug from home.
Clean and vacuum your mattress
In order to remove bed bugs from the mattress, you need to vacuum it. Before you start vacuuming, make sure that all of your sheets, blankets and pillows are outside of the room where you’re going to be working on your mattress. This will keep them out of harm’s way and prevent any possibility that they might get sucked up into the vacuum cleaner hose.
After removing all items from underneath your bed (and making sure they stay away while you’re working), turn on your vacuum cleaner and use it with an attachment designed specifically for cleaning upholstery or carpeting. Make sure that whatever tool is attached is angled toward one side of the mattress as opposed to straight down in order avoid damaging any springs or coils under there.* In addition, try pulling up toward one side first before going back over with another pass towards another direction.* Keep doing this until all areas are covered thoroughly.* Then go back over each area again moving toward different directions than before but still keeping things even across each pass.* Afterward start at each end again repeating these steps until no more bugs come up when vacuuming.* Now repeat this process using a brush attachment instead of just suction alone so that there’s less chance of leaving behind residuals from other materials used earlier during cleaning like dust particles left behind which could attract new ones later down road if left unchecked (which would then require additional treatments).
Wash your sheets in HOT water
Wash all sheets, bedding, and clothes in hot water at least once. We recommend washing these items twice or four times to ensure that any eggs or larvae are killed.
Wash all clothing worn while you were sleeping in hot water at least once if they have not been laundered yet. Wash any item of clothing used during the day as well; even if it doesn’t seem soiled or dirty, it could have picked up some bug life on its way home from work/school/the gym!
Vacuum the carpets and upholstery
Vacuuming is one of the most important steps to take when treating bed bugs. You should vacuum everything, including:
- Bedding and upholstery (couches, chairs, pillows)
- Carpets
- Floors
- Furniture
- Draperies and curtains
Remove all carboard from your home
Remove all cardboard boxes from your home. If you have to keep them, keep them in a sealed bag. Avoid placing cardboard near walls and floors where they can serve as a hiding place for bed bugs or their eggs.
Keep pets away from sleeping areas
One of the first steps to take when you find bed bugs in your home is to keep your pets away from sleeping areas. This means keeping them from beds, couches, chairs and sofas. It also means ensuring that they aren’t allowed anywhere near carpeting or rugs that may have been damaged by the presence of bed bugs.
It’s important to be vigilant about keeping your pets out of these areas because they can bring in new infestations if they are exposed to an active infestation at another location (such as a friend’s house or a park).
Monitor all clothes for signs of bed bugs
Monitor all clothes for signs of bed bugs.
- If you find bed bugs, throw the clothes in the dryer on high heat for at least 30 minutes. Use an old pair of jeans to help crush any remaining eggs and make sure they’re completely dry before putting them back in your closet.
- If you don’t have a dryer, use a hot iron to kill the bed bugs (but beware of scorching).
Use these tips to remove bed bug from home
Now that you know what a bed bug looks like and how to recognize them, we’re going to teach you how to remove bed bug from home.
- Clean and vacuum your mattress. Bed bugs are very small, so they can hide in crevices that you otherwise wouldn’t be able to see. After removing the sheets and other items from your mattress, use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment or hand-held vacuum cleaner to clean it thoroughly, making sure not to miss any areas (including under plastic covers). You should also use an appropriate disinfectant spray or powder on the mattress (and all other furniture). This will help kill any remaining bedbugs that may have been left behind after vacuuming.
- Wash dirty clothing in HOT water for at least 50 minutes before drying them on high heat for another 50 minutes as well as using an appropriate detergent (such as Purex) in hot water with no fabric softener added; this combination of heat and washing detergent is thought by some experts such as university extension agents who specialize in entomology (study of insects), parasitology (study of parasites), epizootiology (study of zoonoses – diseases found in animals), microbiology……..
