METHOD  1.  Getting  things  cleaned  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Take  a  vacuum  cleaner  to  the  bed  as  soon  as  possible.  This  will  remove  a  good  number  of  the  adults  and  eggs,  reducing  the  discomfort  of  an  infestation,  and  making  pest  control  that  much  easier.  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Throw  all  the  bedding  into  the  washing  machine  at  a  high  temperature,  or  put  it  in  the  dryer  instead,  also  making  sure  the  drying  cycle  is  at  as  high  a  temperature  as  your  appliance  will  allow.  

 

METHOD  2.  Heat  or  steam  treatment  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Bed  bugs  cannot  survive  temperatures  above  113  degrees.  Usually,  a  single  instance  of  heat  treatment  is  enough  to  do  the  job  and  eradicate  the  pests  from  your  home  completely.  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Heat  treatment  is  an  environment-­‐friendly,  toxin-­‐free  option,  so  it  is  safe  for  the  family  and  any  pets  too.  It  is  so  effective  because  it  kills  both  adult  bed  bugs  and  eggs,  taking  6  to  12  hours.  

 

 

 

METHOD  3.  Chemical  treatment  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Chemical  treatment  may  require  2  or  3  visits  to  completely  eliminate  bed  bugs.  Chemical  treatment  cannot  kill  the  eggs  though,  meaning  the  pests  may  make  another  appearance  later  on.    

-­‐-­‐-­‐  This  method  is  less  safe  than  heat  treatment,  because  of  the  toxicity  involved.  Bed  bugs  can  also  develop  chemical  resistance  as  they  evolve,  so  the  treatment  might  not  be  100%  successful.

METHOD  4.  Preventing  an  infestation  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  The  majority  of  bed  bug  infestations  occur  after  a  trip  away  from  home,  in  a  hotel  or  guest  house  for  example.  When  you  are  away,  make  certain  you  never  put  your  luggage  on  the  bed.  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  Avoid  buying  second  hand  mattresses  and  even  used  furniture.  Bed  bugs  can  come  into  your  home  hidden  away  in  crevices  on  these  items,  so  where  possible  buy  new,  especially  for  the  bedroom.  

 

METHOD  5.  Hiring  a  pest  control  firm  

-­‐-­‐-­‐  If  you  have  tried  to  deal  with  the  situation  yourself,  and  still  find  that  the  bed  bug  infestation  is  out  of  control,  then  you  should  contact  a  professional  pest  control  company  before  it  gets  any  worse.    

-­‐-­‐-­‐  A  professional  bed  bug  control  company  has  experience,  training  and  knowledge.  They  will  put  safe,  tried  and  tested  pest  control  strategies  into  place  that  yield  effective,  long  term  results.
