How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs? How to Kill
Bed Bugs?
How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs? – Bed Bug
Treatment
“How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs” is something many people bother. It has been some time after
our article on Bed Bug Registry and since many of your
emails came to our address, we decided to focus on this
problem. This article is written by three experts, who work in
three different bed bug extermination companies and they
really did their best to explain how to kill bed bugs and ways
of getting rid of bed bugs. Bed bugs are small, flat and
lengths up to 6 mm. Like chiggers, bedbugs feed on human or
animal blood. Bed bug treatment is similar to chiggers
treatment. Their color is usually changes; when they are
hungry, they are mostly white, and when they are full of blood
their color is copper brown. Usually bed bugs grow up to half
a cm and are visible to the naked eye.
What is the dinner of bug? Your blood!
During the day these small nocturnal creatures are hiding in the bed, furniture, wood floors,
garbage, and humans become their dinner before going to sleep. They fix to the skin and suck
blood every 3 minutes, and so every night. During this period they drink large amounts of blood
so they are constantly full. All they do is hide and show occasionally. They can live about 10
months and can survive for weeks without food.
Bed bugs usually hide in hotels, hostels, warehouses and other public places. Since they hide in
small crevices, they soon find their way to a new property: briefcases, handbags, clothing, and
even attack your pets. Even though the bed bugs are most commonly present in the developing
world, United States is one of the most infected places in the world. New York is crowded with
these little pests (check bed bug registry article for more information and reports. Feel free to
submit your reports in original bed bug registry).
Bed Bug Bites – How Do You Get Rid of Bed Bugs
It is amazing that these little creepy mammals have dinner on
our skin without even waking us. We do not feel their bites
because when you get bitten for the first time, a special
substance is injected into the skin, which currently “paralyses”
the skin and prevents clotting, making it easier for bed bugs to
suck blood. The first sign that you are attacked by bed bugs is
red spot that itches, typically on hands or shoulder. Usually
you have more bites than one. Bed bug bites usually do not
require any treatment unless the wound becomes infected
during scratching. In this case, use an antiseptic cream to the
infected part. If bites cause allergy, see your doctor who will
prescribe medication. They do not really pose any threat to
health, but can transmit harmful organisms that cause hepatitis, etc.
Each wound does not mean that your skin was a host to bed bug dinner. Although your doctor
will have a difficult task to establish which rogue you were bitten by, while you were sleeping
(mosquito, fleas, bed bugs), it is best that you look at your own bed. Take a magnifying glass
and look at each installment of your bed, especially the mattress seams or potential color of
blood on the covering beds. Also, look at the space around the beds, parquet floors, walls,
because the bugs can hide anywhere convenient. You have to be patient when searching for
bed bugs, because they can hibernate and it can take some time for you to spot them. Also
look for copper brown spots, this is their faces. In the case of extensive invasion, you will notice
a pungent, sweet smell in air.
How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs Yourself?
From only one female bed bug and their immediate
descendants, the entire residential buildings can be filled with
these wingless insects. The United States Investigation team
has, in fact, found that all the bed bugs in an apartment are in
a relationship, and in the whole building, there is a little
genetic diversity among these insects, suggesting that they
come from the same origin.
Analyzing the brood of bed bugs at 21 locations from the
State of Maine, the northern United States, to Florida in the
south, the United States team, which was led by Kobi Scarf
entomologist, has determined that all the insects in one
location came from one room in an apartment, but that there was large genetic diversity
between samples from different locations.
They can settle in an apartment from the shoes or luggage that they came to from a hotel room,
and their source can also be used furniture and cushions. Since from the fifties of last century
they were nearly gone, the bed bugs in recent years in the United States are on the rise again,
which is attributed to frequent international travel and the fact that these insects have become
largely resistant to pesticides that are used against them. It is estimated that in the last ten
years population of bed bugs in the United States increased five times.
How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs at Home?
If you notice bed bugs in your home you can get rid of them in four ways:
●
The first thing you must do is to get rid of the infected
mattress or wrap it in plastic to catch the bugs.
● Wash the upholstery from beds and other fabrics and dry them at high temperatures to
kill the larvae.
● Clean furniture with precise, even the bottom. Vacuum the floor, especially in crevices
where these insects hide.
● Spray all wood surfaces with insecticides, and even a bed, only be careful to make sure
not to sprinkle poison in places that are in direct contact with your skin. If the bugs do not
die after general cleaning, seek professional help.
Also, one of the solutions if you want to get rid of bed bugs at your home is the fumigation of
the entire house. The house is hermetically closed in a bubble and the gas is pumped inside.
These are all very useful ways, but the best solution is to contact professionals.
For the end we saved one interesting research on bed bug bites. According to Professor Ralph
Naren, bed bugs will not bite you if you are – drunk. The more drunk you are, the more they run
from you. For some reason they don’t like alcohol and run from it. Now that is not the reason to
get drunk, is it?
So, this article explains in details how to get rid of bed bugs, how to get rid of bed bugs at home,
how to get rid of bed bugs by yourself, how to kill bed bugs, bed bug treatment and ways of
getting rid of bed bugs. One of the “allergies” that bed bug bites can cause if explained in “How
to Get Rid of Dandruff“ article. Sleep tight and don’t let the bedbugs bite!
