Control Tips To Prevent Bed Bugs
>> Aug 17, 2016
One of the most difficult pests that
can be found in your home is the bed bugs. If you find an uncontrollable
situation, you should immediately call the professional experts. There can be
some do-It-yourself tips that can be useful in controlling the bed bugs at your home.
Never
Throw The Entire Bed: You are not required to throw away
your bedding or bed entirely to get rid of the bed bugs. It can be an expensive
affair and when you are placing new mattress, it can even get re-infested. The
amount of money you are spending for replacing the entire bedding can be
channelized in other way, by calling the professional experts.
Choose
Safe Place For Sleep: Try
creating a safe place for sleeping by killing the bed bugs. The pest control
professionals can clean up the bed frame or the headboard and can make you
comfortable while sleeping. Try to keep your bed at an isolated place in your
home. When you are not using the bed, you must keep your mattress isolated from
the floor and use bed frames. The pesticides or the exterminator can be used in
all the feet of the bed frames to get rid of this dangerous pest. Choosing an exterminator can be difficult for you and you can definitely take help from
the experts.
Identify
The Affected Rooms: Though bedrooms are the prime
locations for bed bugs, other rooms can also get affected. You need to identify
all the rooms which are being affected by the bed bugs. Sometimes, the sofa
beds or the sofa sets in the living room can be the sites for the bugs. Usually
the infestation starts from a single room and spreads fast throughout the
house. As soon as you can identify the source of the bugs , you can control them in the right manner.
When you are waiting very long, your entire home can be affected by the bugs.
Select
Sprays Wisely: The insecticides are not magic
sprays. You need to use them carefully to get the best results. The bugs can
only be killed if they are used directly at their hiding places.
Treat
Other Areas Well: After the identification of the
affected areas, you need to treat other areas as well. You must separate the
rooms by placing the treated and the untreated furniture separately. This step
is very essential because when you are keeping both the items in the same
place, it can so happen that the bugs can be affected on the untreated items.
All the outlets, blinds, wall pictures, wall clocks, under carpets, baseboards
must be treated nicely. Vacuum cleaners can be used in the cleaning process,
but they do not remove the eggs of the bugs. Try separating the bagged items
and wash them in warm water for 30 minutes or so. If you find low value
furniture which is very difficult to treat, try to discard them.
Monitor
Your Success : Try to keep track of your success
while controlling the bugs at your home. You can place the interceptor cups
under the bed posts for monitoring. Check the cups everyday and empty them up
in the trash bag or the soap water bucket. You can also observe the number of
bugs you are catching in a week. Make sure you are cleaning the interceptors by
wiping them properly.
When you are using the pesticides
inside your home, you must be extra cautious. Keep away your children, pets and
yourself from the harmful sprays. You must follow the safety instructions
before using them in indoors. If you fail to follow them, you may harm yourself
and your family.
