subject: How to Get Rid of Bedbugs 1 [print this page] Bed bugs are the most feared insects because of their blood sucking nature and the fact they multiply fast. They are perhaps the most difficult pests to eliminate out of a home. Bed bugs have known to be in existence for many centuries.
Bed bugs can proliferate at a very fast pace because they can lay about five eggs daily. The eggs hatch faster in summer and take more time in cooler climates. As soon as they hatch they are on the look out for their food human blood. Perhaps the only good news about bed bugs is that they do not carry any pathogens like mosquitoes and ticks. All you can get is a tiny sore that can itch badly.
There is this myth that bed bugs are usually found in crowded, unhealthy places where dirt and grime rules. This is a common misconception. Bed bugs can be found even in clean, well maintained places because they can travel by hitching on to clothes, bags and luggage. Once they are lodged in a place, it is just a matter of time before they spread all over, necessitating the need to call in pest control professionals.
There are a few precautions that you can take to ensure that bed bugs are eliminated before they multiply. All clothes and luggage that come back from a trip must be debugged to ensure that bed bugs are not present. This is easier said than done as bed bugs are proficient in finding places to hide where they are difficult to locate. Leaving out the potentially infested bags and clothes out in the harsh sun for a few hours can also help remove bed bugs to a considerable extent.
Bed Bug Spray is the most effective and eco friendly way of eliminating bed bugs from your home and office premises. They are safe, natural and convenient to use. They work by penetrating deep into the bedbug, dehydrating and suffocating them, thus killing them instantly. They can be used on any surface including clothes, rugs, carpets, beddings and even wooden carpets and furniture as they do not leave behind any stain marks or odor.
While bed bug spray are effective in dealing with full grown and roaming bedbugs, residual bedbug spray are equally effective in eliminating them from the most difficult of places. Bedbug eggs and residual remains can be removed using steam treatment. Diatomaceous Earth is good for long term residual use. Treating cracks and crevices with caulking is an effective way to keep bedbugs from proliferating.
