Have you tried everything to get rid of bed bugs? Are you one of the many that gets frustrated with the amount of products on the market and how companies are scamming people on what works? I found some stuff online that looks like it could work so I’m going to try it. I wanted to share this with everyone else to see what happens and if it actually does get rid of bed bugs. Treating your bed for bed bugs is tough. The most important thing to know about killing bed bugs and eliminating the problem is to focus on killing the bed bugs, their eggs, and their offspring. These are the three key elements and can make your non-toxic DIY treatments effective in the long term.

Non Toxic Bed Bug Treatment

Introduction

The best way to treat an infestation of bed bugs is to have a professional exterminator come in, but you can also try these non-toxic remedies yourself before you call the pros.

Ask a professional.

A professional, who is trained to look for signs of bed bugs and their eggs, can help you get rid of these pests. He or she will be able to identify the problem and make recommendations on how to eradicate them. There are also several other ways that a professional will be able to help you:

• They’ll conduct an inspection of your home or apartment so they can identify where bed bugs might be hiding
• They’ll treat the infestation with pesticides that are effective against this pest
• They’ll ensure the area is clean after they finish treating it

Take time to identify the source of the problem.

When you spot the telltale signs of bed bugs or have had a bed bug infestation confirmed, it’s time to get down to business and start treating. The first step is identifying the source of your problem so that you know where to focus your efforts.

Look for signs of bed bugs, such as:

• Bed bug droppings – these are often dark red-brown in color, about 1 mm (or 0.04 inches) long and similar in size and shape to an apple seed
• Bed bug eggs – when found on mattresses, sheets or furniture they can look like tiny black dots; they’re usually found clustered together in groups of 2-5 eggs
• Bed bug skins – as immature bedbugs molt into their next stage of life they leave behind their old exoskeleton which looks like small pieces of clear plastic; if left long enough these cast skins can become dirty looking with lots of dust particles sticking onto them

Use a proper mattress cover.

A proper mattress cover is the most effective way to prevent and treat bed bug infestations. It keeps the bugs from getting in your mattress and makes it easy for you to treat them if they do get inside it.

• Zippered covers are best because they’re easier to apply and remove, but Velcro-style closures work as well. You can buy these covers at most department stores or online retailers—just make sure you choose one that’s thick enough to offer some protection but still breathable so you don’t end up baking yourself like a giant hamster burrito every night (which would definitely be unhealthy).
• Most mattresses need to be washed once every six months or so anyway, so this step will only require a little extra effort on your part: simply wash the cover on its own in cold water with mild soap and hang dry before putting it back onto your bed when the laundry is done!
• If you have a waterproof mattress cover, consider upgrading above (or even removing) this layer for better protection against bed bugs—the closer something gets to being impermeable, the harder time an insect has getting inside of it! By doing this, you’ll avoid trapping any pesky critters between layers where there might otherwise be gaps big enough for them escape again later on down their merry journey towards freedom…and then spreading disease throughout your home (and possibly beyond).

Steam clean bedding and use heat to kill bed bugs.

Steam cleaning bedding and using heat (the hotter, the better) to kill bed bugs is another popular way to eliminate them. The steam kills the bedbugs by dehydrating them. To use this method, you’ll need a steam cleaner or steamer. A regular home vacuum will work as well.

You should also consider drying your items outside in direct sunlight after they’ve been cleaned with steam or a vacuum; it will help kill any eggs that are left behind and prevent future infestations of this type of insect.

Treat your skin for irritation caused by bed bug bites.

If you’ve suffered from bed bug bites, there are many over-the-counter (OTC) products that can help soothe your irritation. Calamine lotion is a good choice if you have a mild case of contact dermatitis. If your skin is more severely irritated, apply a cortisone cream to address some of the symptoms of itching and swelling. Topical antihistamines are another option for treating itching and swelling caused by bed bugs. Oral antihistamines may also be helpful in reducing discomfort if taken before bedtime or when waking up early in the morning due to itchy bites on your skin.

In addition to soothing the itchiness associated with bed bug bites, topical antibiotics can prevent infection from developing in areas where germs may have gotten into open wounds from scratching vigorously at night; topical steroids reduce inflammation caused by swelling; and topical anti-itch creams fight off signs of irritation by stopping them from getting worse over time (which would make it harder for any healing process). These should all be used sparingly throughout treatment because they’re strong enough that even if they don’t help much right away they could still cause further irritation down the road due to interactions between different pieces together like applying too many things at once without washing off first between applications.”

Keep clutter to a minimum to help prevent future infestations

Keeping your home free of clutter is a key first step in preventing and controlling bed bug infestations. Clutter provides hiding places for bed bugs, making it difficult to detect them. It also makes it more difficult to treat an infestation and clean up after one has taken place. So get rid of anything you don’t need or want in your home!

If you see one or two, there are probably more hiding in your sheets and mattress, waiting for you to fall asleep at night so they can feast on your blood.

Bed bugs are tiny and hard to see. If a bed bug bites you, it leaves a red itchy bump on your skin that looks like an insect bite. Bed bugs can be found in the seams of mattresses, in bed sheets and even in the walls. They are attracted to the smell of human blood, but they also eat dead insects or animal fur (that’s why people often find dead animals under their beds). Bed bugs are found all over North America including hotels, apartments and homes alike
