How to get rid of bed bugs

It’s no secret that getting rid of bedbugs is very difficult. However, it is possible. The most popular way is to contact the pest control service from pest-controller-auckland.business.site. However, if for a start you want to try to cope with this problem on your own, then remember that the main thing in the fight against bedbugs is thoroughness.

How to destroy bedbugs: bedroom treatment

Bed bugs can easily hide in small crevices, and the eggs they lay are even harder to spot and handle. Here are the basic steps to take to get bed bugs out of your bedroom:

Remove all bedding and process it

This applies not only to duvet covers, pillowcases, sheets and bedspreads, but also to the pillows and mattresses themselves. However, first of all, you need to remove all bedding from the bed and process them one by one.

Vacuum mattresses and mattress springs

Vacuum all surfaces thoroughly. Use the attachments on your vacuum cleaner to get to those hard to reach places. When you’re done vacuuming, remove and discard the vacuum cleaner bag so bed bugs can’t get out again.

Treat the mattress and mattress springs with insect repellant

The most effective insect repellents come in spray or powder form. Insect sprays or aerosols do not allow you to carefully treat all the cracks in which bedbugs can hide. Apply insect repellent to all surfaces, crevices and cracks.

Close the mattress and mattress springs

Buy a quality set of insect repellent covers. These are linen covers that fasten with a zipper and are designed specifically to prevent insects from getting out. Covers are the most important tool in the fight against bedbugs.

Finish the frame and head of the bed

You will again need to thoroughly vacuum all surfaces and cracks, as well as treat them with insect repellant.

Remove all other items from the room and process them

In addition to bedding and pillows, it is very important to treat curtains, toys, clothes, books and personal items. You can also put things in zip-top plastic bags to keep bed bugs out of your food. Do not open packages for 2-4 months to allow bed bugs to die.

If you live in an apartment building, tell the service representative and neighbors that you have bed bugs, because in this case, efforts to get rid of bed bugs must be joint (otherwise the bugs will go to neighboring apartments, and your efforts will be in vain).
