Tips For A Do-It-Yourself Bed Bug Extermination

By Claudine Hodges


Professionals are not really necessary if you want to exterminate pests. There are do-it-yourself tips on how you can do a good job at bed bug extermination. You just need to invest time and effort so that you can eliminate the pests all by yourself. Here are some of the amazing tips you can use to eliminate the pests infesting your home.

First of all, you have to ensure that you are facing the right pests. If you plan to do this elimination method, then you have to be sure that the pests you have at home are really bedbugs. They should not be fleas, ticks, or any other insect. These insects have different elimination methods that must be used against them, after all.

You should not panic. Even though it is quite difficult to eliminate the said pests, it is not really impossible. Just because the pests have infested most of your things, you do not need to throw them all out. Most of them may still be treated and saved. If you avoid throwing the infested stuff, you can also prevent the bugs from spreading to other people's home.

Know that these pests have their own hiding places. Without a hiding place, they will not be able to grow in numbers. With this line of thought, you can conclude that you just need to eliminate or reduce these hiding places to effectively reduce the numbers of the pests. Clean up the clutter in the home then.

Most of the pests prefer to infest sheets, blankets, bedspreads, and other clothing that easily touches the floor. If you wish to reduce the number of the pests that are infesting your home, then you have to diligently wash these clothing on a regular basis. Upon drying these washed clothing, opt to heat-dry it too.

Dry freezing is a fine option for eliminating the infesting pests but it is not enough. You should opt to use special equipment to use heat for the said task. Of course, you must b extremely careful when handling these equipment. You must avoid causing a fire or other damages just because you cannot handle the equipment well.

Passing these pests to other people is not a good idea. This will surely give you trouble later on. It is easy for these pests to hitchhike so you have to make sure that the stuff infested with these pests, once thrown out, will never be used by others again. Slash these stuff or destroy them so that no one will use them anymore.

Use your vacuum. Even though it is not the best equipment to use if you want to eliminate the bugs, it should still be a good alternative if you just aim to reduce the number of the said pests. Carefully vacuum the floors, rugs, upholstered furniture, frames, under the beds, and all of the cracks and crevices around your room.

In the case when there is nothing else you can do, then you have no other choice but to call in the professionals. They are the ones who are specializing in the elimination of these bugs. Call the right professionals to get the quality pest control services you need for your house.
