What to Do When There’s No Bed Bugs Exterminator Around
There’s nothing more terrifying than sleeping in a bed infested with blood-sucking bed bugs. Don’t let these tiny vampires overpower you and get in the way of your sleep. Below are some useful tips in order to get rid of them when a professional bed bugs exterminator are not available.
1. You can kill bed bugs with heat.
Yes, you’ve read it right! Kill bed bugs with heat, but have it done with caution. However, exterminating your bed bugs is not possible by just raising your indoor temperature with a thermostat. It will require you to have a special equipment and extremely high temperatures for a successful “bed bug murder spree”. But, you can use black plastic bags in the sun to eliminate bed bugs in luggage or small thing if the content becomes hot enough. To kill a bed bug, you will need a temperature of not less than 45°C (113°F). The room or furniture infested with bed bugs must be even hotter to make sure that sustained heat reaches the bugs even in the most hidden places.
2. Don’’t pass your bed bugs on to others.
As we all know, bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers. If you throw out a mattress or furniture that are infested with these bugs, you should gash or in some way destroy it so that no one else takes it and gets infested with bed bugs.
3. Reduce the number of bed bugs to reduce bites.
With a regular vacuuming, you can lessen the amount of bed your bed bugs at home. Thoroughly vacuum your carpets, rugs, furniture, bed frames and all possible places that can be infested with bed bugs. Throw the bags after using so that these little devils will have no way out.
4. Turn to the professionals, if needed.
