HOW DO I GET RID OF BED BUGS MYSELF?
Beware of trying to get rid of any infestation on your own. Although there are many so-called DIY solutions promising to be "natural" way to eliminate a bed bug problem, such ideas are rarely, if ever effective, and will most often make the infestation worse. The only way to completely guarantee that the bed bugs in your home are dead and gone is to call a licensed exterminator who is experienced in locating and eliminating a bed bug problem.
HOW DO YOU GET RID OF BED BUGS IN ONE DAY?
Standard chemical treatments or advanced thermal heat treatments are both capable of getting rid of bed bugs in one day for most average-sized homes and offices. However, follow up treatments may be needed depending upon the scope of the initial infestation and other circumstances.
WHAT IS THE MAIN CAUSE OF BED BUGS?
Bed bugs most commonly infect a home environment after being brought in from traveling. Hotels and motels are hotspots for bed bugs to hang out, and can attach to blankets, pillows, or clothing to end up migrating to your place when you return home. Bed bugs are attracted to places with clutter where they can safely lay their eggs.
SHOULD I THROW OUT MY MATTRESS AFTER A BED BUG INFESTATION?
Bed bug infested mattresses should not be disposed of since this will often result in additional cases of bed bug infestations within the community. Once the home has been properly treated for bed bugs, mattresses are safe for use.
CAN YOU EVER REALLY GET RID OF BED BUGS?
Bed bugs are notoriously hard to kill. Nevertheless, modern products used for chemical bed bug treatment, or approved equipment used for heat treatment are fully capable of getting rid of bed bugs in your home or office for good when used by an experienced bed bug control professional.
DOES WASHING CLOTHES KILL BED BUGS?
Washing clothes does not kill bed bugs. However, the heat of a dryer likely will. Any bed bugs on your clothes will meet their end in the drying machine. But, if bed bugs have managed to get on your clothing, they are likely in other locations of your home as well, and a professional bed bug inspection should be scheduled.
WHAT IS THE FIRST SIGN OF BED BUGS?
The most obvious place a bed bug infestation may be noticed is in the bed. Bed bugs will not be visible to the naked eye until the infestation has escalated, but blood stains on the near the corner of your bed. Keep an eye on the condition of your skin. If you notice bug bites in a triangular pattern on the skin, these are usually bed bug bites, and an exterminator should be contacted right away to treat the infestation before it gets worse.
CAN YOU JUST HAVE A FEW BED BUGS?
When you start noticing bed bugs, you may only see a few at first. The problem is that bed bugs are not visible until the population has grown. As such, you are likely dealing with an infestation by the time you visually notice them.
HOW FAST DO BED BUGS SPREAD?
Bed bugs can spread very easily, capable of moving at fast speeds on their own to go from room to room. It is unlikely that they will go far if they have a steady supply of blood from where they are currently inhabiting, such as a bed, where people regularly sleep. Bed bugs mostly spread from the item they are infesting, like the mattress, being moved or clinging to a hotel guest’s clothing, pillow, or clothing.
CAN YOU SLEEP IN A BED WITH BED BUGS?
There are steps you can take to keep yourself safe, even if the place you are staying at has unwelcome roommates like bed bugs. Bring a plastic mattress encasement with you when you visit a hotel and put it on the mattress before you use it. Bed bugs cannot get through the encasement, and you can sleep soundly and unbitten.
CAN I SLEEP IN MY BED AFTER BED BUG TREATMENT?
Yes, you should be able to sleep in your own bed. Even without exposure to bed bugs, you should sleep with a mattress encasement. This way bed bugs will not be able to infest your mattress, and if there are surviving bed bugs there, they cannot escape the encasement to bite you.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO HIRE AN EXTERMINATOR FOR BED BUGS?
The price for a bed bug treatment will depend. The price may increase if you have a large infestation and how many rooms the bed bugs may have spread to. The type of treatment you choose will also affect the price. Chemical treatment is less expensive than heat treatment methods.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR AN EXTERMINATOR TO GET RID OF BED BUGS?
While this again depends on the size of the property and the scope of the problem, a chemical treatment may take about an hour to get through the whole property while a heat treatment would take multiple hours. Those living in the house must also vacate the premise during a heat treatment and perform preparatory work such as removing anything in the house that is sensitive to heat.
WHAT SHOULD I DO BEFORE AN EXTERMINATOR FOR BED BUGS?
If the infestation is widespread, anything could contain bed bugs. Be thorough in your preparation. Make sure the exterminator will have access to walls/hard to reach places so they can do a thorough inspection of the household.
Do not move things from your house into another area, as you will only spread the infestation. Wash your clothes and sheets in hot water, dry them at a temperature that will not damage them, and keep them in separate bags to keep them from getting infested.
Anything that can be dried in a dryer, do so, and keep it protected in a bag. This can include stuffed animals, curtains, and similar items.
Vacuum floors, couches, chairs, and beds, placing the vacuum bag inside a plastic one to keep any bedbugs from escaping. Put these plastic bags in an outside trash bin.
Get rid of any clutter in your house.
