Although you could be living with bed bugs for an extended period of time without even realising, that realisation can be extremely distressing and cause issues with your current sleeping arrangements. Sleep tight without getting a bite with our top tips for bed bug prevention and elimination.
Heat is the number one killer in bed bugs…
Professional pest control teams use heat to exterminate effected areas and rooms with bed bugs residing. The method can be described as a kind of dry steam cleaning technique that destroys the existence of even the largest infestations in a matter of minutes. If you want to try to get rid of them yourself we recommend washing and tumble drying your bedding and soft furnishings at a very high temperature.
Declutter Your Space…
A cluttered home attracts almost every pest known to man, including bed bugs, so clean up your clutter especially in your bedroom if you want to avoid a visit from the bedtime biters. Bed bugs will happily nest in soft toys, photo frames, books and more.
Use Protection On Your Furnishings…
Employing precautionary measures to ensure that bed bugs won’t be attracted to your home and your bed are a very good idea. Use a protective cover that encases mattresses and box springs and eliminates many hiding spots. Vacuuming regularly and flipping your mattress regularly will also eliminate temptation to join you for a snooze in your bed.
