How to eliminate bed bugs

The so-called bed bugs are actually called stink bugs, which are a relatively common pest. With the improvement of people's living standards and the gradual improvement of medical and health care, this type of bed bugs can be said to be less and less. This type of bed bug may still appear in some rural areas. Once this pest appears, it must be killed in time. You can consider using pesticides and strictly disinfect areas where bed bugs may live.

How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs

-Isolate infected items. Small items can be sealed in plastic bags and exposed to the sun for several days to achieve an insecticidal effect.

Use diatomaceous earth or silica gel. Sprinkle diatomaceous earth into cracks, corners, holes, and anywhere else bed bugs might enter your home. Diatomaceous earth is an ingredient in insecticides used to kill bed bugs. Due to its physical adsorption properties, it can break down the waxy outer layer of the insects' exoskeleton, causing them to dehydrate and die.

-High temperature steam. Likewise, high-temperature steam can kill bed bugs and their eggs.

-Vacuum cleaner. Similarly, suck away bed bugs and eggs, but be careful to seal the sucked-out garbage.

- Repair cracks. Don't give bed bugs any safe havens to hide.

-Consider using insecticide. However, pesticides may cause bed bugs to flee, making extermination more difficult.

- Throw away infected items. Some large items, such as mattresses, are difficult to completely eliminate and may need to be thrown away.

As a last resort, if all else fails, you should seek help from a professional pest control company. After all, they are professionals.

Once you have gotten rid of bed bugs at home, don't think that you are done with it. Always be careful and take precautions.

You must pay attention to personal hygiene on weekdays and keep your room as clean as possible. Adding a bedspread, coating the foot of the bed with vaseline or using an insect blocker can all provide some protection. If conditions permit, keep a distance of 30-50 cm between the bed and walls, tables, chairs and other objects, and the ground should also be at a certain height to prevent bed bugs from climbing up.
