How a Professional Pest Control Specialist Will Do It
Bed bugs have become a serious problem lately. Over 30% of motels in the U.S. are suspected of being infected with bed bugs. There is no clear statistic as to how many homes have the same problem, but chances are that the number is significantly high. As a termite control service provider who specializes in bed bug extermination, we would like to share some of our tricks with you. Whether you decide to do the job yourself or call professionals is up to you.
There are two ways to eliminate bed bugs: using powerful chemicals, or choosing our method, which is completely natural (no chemicals involved). If you want to go with the more extreme approach and use chemicals, then we highly recommend hiring a professional termite control specialist for the task. Our method however, offers the same results. Here’s what you have to do.
-
Remove all bedding, including comforters, bed liners, blankets, pillow cases, sheets, and mattress cover. All this must be washed on a hot water program and then dried properly. Don’t put them back before you finish cleaning the entire bedroom;
-
All remaining fabric-type objects should be put in plastic bags. Seal the bags with tape, and let them stay for at least three days. This will exterminate all the remaining bed bugs;
-
Proper pest control requires that the entire house should be vacuumed properly. Make sure you also vacuum all cracks and openings in the walls;
-
Inspect the bed mattress. If you find bed bugs or signs of bed bug presence (eggs), then I’m afraid you have to throw out the mattress. It’s almost impossible to remove bed bugs from a bed mattress.
Once everything is clean, you can put the things back. Even after all this, there is no certitude that your home is bed bug free. Experts recommend you repeat the process after two weeks.
