A Simple And Effective Bed Bug Stopper

By Aidyn Huffman

Bed Bugs are small parasites that live mostly off of mammal blood. They get their name from their preference to live and feed in human beds. Although the insects are extremely persistent and difficult to kill, there are a few methods that have been proven to be a sufficient Bed Bug killer.

The most important key to extermination is catching the critters early. Be aware of small bites or sores on your body that usually appear as tiny red bumps. There will also be tiny scratches and tears on your mattress, sheets, and pillows. If you suspect Bed Bugs, the quicker you act the more likely you'll be successful in total elimination.

You need to act fast once you suspect the tiny parasites. Contact you landlord immediately if you live in a rental so that she or he can hire an exterminator. If you own your home, call them yourself. If you live in an apartment your neighbors will have to be alerted so that the insects can be stopped. To assure that your own infestation is kept under control, you can take these steps in the meantime.

First make sure that you wash everything! This includes all bedsheets, blankets, and pillowcases. Wash them in the hottest water possible and leave them in the dryer much longer than usual. Heat is an excellent bed bug killer. Make sure you launder everything that you have slept on or near since the problem began.

Next obtain several plastic zipping wrappers. They can be purchased at most department stores. Your mattress and box spring will need to be wrapped up. If you can locate a wrap small enough, your pillows should be sealed as well. To ensure that no Bed Bugs can get through, the zipper should be taped shut.

Until the outbreak has been wiped out you should keep all of your clothes and linens in airtight plastic containers. Bags that are able to be resealed are better because they will make access to the items a lot simpler. The parasites generally only live in human beds but, just to be cautious, it is a good idea to cover all of the bases.

To make sure that the insects stay gone forever, make certain that the exterminator sprays for the bugs more than once. Bed Bugs are famously difficult to exterminate and it might even take up to five treatments to eliminate them for good. In between visits from the exterminator you should keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol on hand to use on the hot spots like the box spring and bed frame.

Dealing with a Bed Bug outbreak can be extremely stressful. The hard to kill insects can cause countless of sleepless nights and a large exterminator bill. If you act fast you have a better chance of stopping a full blown outbreak. And by alerting your landlord and neighbors, you can help stop the critters from spreading. Make sure to thoroughly wash all bed sheets and comforters and ensuring that the domicile is sprayed several times and you can increase the chance of beating the creatures.
