Causes of bed bugs in the home

In today's society, people pay great attention to home hygiene, so bed bugs are very rare now. Only in a few rural areas may there be such pests. There are many reasons for bed bugs in the home. The main one is that the sanitary environment is not very good. In addition, it is affected by environmental factors. The weather is relatively humid, if there are many people and the room is relatively small, these may be the conditions for the breeding of bed bugs.

Causes of Bed Bugs in the Home

1. Environmental factors: March to September every year is the breeding season for bed bugs due to the humid climate, crowded rooms, small rooms and poor air circulation. It is conducive to the breeding of bed bugs (keep the dormitory well ventilated). 2. Hygiene factors: personal hygiene and the hygiene of the entire dormitory. Garbage should be cleaned up in time, especially the hygiene of dead corners, which should be cleaned thoroughly (debris under the bed). Putting leather or adhesive paper on the bed board will create convenient conditions for bed bugs to breed. It is best not to have things like leather or adhesive paper on the bed board. Items on the bed should be washed and exposed to the sun frequently, and items should be tidy and clean (or packed). 3. Quality of bed boards: In order to save money, many factories buy poor quality bed boards with obvious holes and gaps, which provide convenient breeding conditions for bed bugs and their hiding places. It won’t be long before the insects appear again. Or if there are bed bugs, you may save money by replacing the bed boards instead of killing them. This will cause the bed bugs to bite people to death. 4. Items brought from outside: Items should be cleaned or exposed to the sun in time when moving. 5. Cooking at home: The damp floor caused by oil smoke makes bed bugs more rampant.

What to do if you have bed bugs at home

1. Environmental cleaning method: Keep your home clean, clean the environment at home regularly, clear away debris, especially small corners, which are where bed bugs often come and go. Sprinkle lime on crevices where bed bugs are more likely to appear. Clean the places where bed bugs have crawled with boiling hot water to prevent them from leaving their eggs there. 2. Manual killing: This is a time-consuming and laborious task, which involves knocking on our bed boards and corners. Take advantage of the alertness of bed bugs and shock them out, then you will see tiny bed bugs. However, bed bugs are agile, especially for some friends with obsessive-compulsive disorder. Wear gloves if possible. After catching the bedbugs, use wire or fire to kill them directly. 3. Boiling water: Generally speaking, boiling water is the most effective way to kill bacteria. Similarly, bed bugs are most afraid of high temperatures. Generally speaking, killing bed bugs with boiling water is the most complete way, because when boiling water kills bed bugs, it will also directly kill the bed bug eggs, leaving no chance for bed bugs to recur. For places where bed bugs breed, such as sheets and bed boards, you must wash them with boiling water. This way we can kill the remaining insect eggs and kill them completely.
