exponentially difficult type of pests for an
individual to get rid of. Although the
bugs themselves are pesky, there are a
variety of different ways to assure
yourself and your family that they will
not plague your furniture and your
clothing.
Below is a list of steps to take in order to
perform a bed bug extermination under
your own terms without having to pay
the money to hire an exterminator.
3. Step 1: Diagnose the Affected Area
Determining where the bed bugs are
living is one of the most important parts
to getting rid of them. This will allow you
to be aware of the specific areas that you
need to treat in order to ensure a
successful extermination. Although you
will be treating your home as a whole,
concentrating on the affected areas can
prove to be exponentially beneficial.
4. Step 2: Remove and Clean Linens
Bed bugs generally find their home within
sheets and other coverings that may be
on your furniture. You should remove
these coverings and then place them in
the washing machine. The majority of
the bugs will inevitably drown but as for
the remainder, the dryer will be able to
handle them.
5. After the sheets have been washed,
place them into the dryer on high heat
for at least 20 minutes.
This will exterminate all remaining bugs
on the sheets.
6. Step 3: Educate Yourself on Chemical
Treatments
If the bed bug problem persists, begin to
research available chemical treatments.
It is beneficial to educate yourself on
these treatments because you will want
to ensure that you purchase a product
with the right amount of toxicity and a
product that will refrain from damaging
your furniture.
7. If you are exterminating bed bugs
yourself, it is imperative that you become
aware of the available options.
8. Step 4: Treat Your Furniture
Alongside sheets, bed bugs also burrow
into the fabric of your furniture. There
are a variety of different bed bug
remedies available from specialty stores
and generic big box stores that can help
you with your problem. Some remedies
require that you treat the furniture once
meanwhile others require up to a week of
treatments.
9. Choose the best solution for you. The
majority of families who are affected by
bed bugs immediately throw out their
furniture which can prove to be a costly
endeavor.
Treat your furniture prior to determining
whether it has to be thrown out because
it can help you to save money.
