subject: How To Conquer Bed Bugs [print this page] Many people can not figure out the source of their bed bugs. Sometimes it can be traced to a sleepover at a hotel or motel, but often it can never be determined. It may be puzzling to wonder why it had to happen to you and your bedding, you may be surprised to see them there.
Bugs in the bed and bedding, can survive by eating the skin that you leave behind. They can actually munch on it all day. And then when you get home and go to bed, these bugs will then feast on your and your skin. The entire concept might have you sleeping somewhere else. Before you discover that they are there, you might be left with itchy red bumps which is a tell tale sign that you have them.
The best way to destroy bed crawlers, is to wash all bedding material in hot water in the washer machine. All pillows, comforters and sheets need to be put into the washer right away. And they should be washed separately and kept away from other laundry and bedding supplies.
Pillows that have cases and pillows that are used for decoration on the bed, still need to be washed in hot water. They can be thrown into the machine and cleaned the same way as the bedding was. It is important to remove everything from the bed and was it, including stuffed animals.
The next step is tackling the matrices. A vacuum can manage the top and bottom of it. You just have to run it over the top, flip the matrices over and do the top again. This is a sure way to get the bugs and their eggs out of your bed.
Keeping bed bugs away, can happen if some sanitary steps are followed. All bedding arrangements should be cleaned in hot water at least once a week. And matrices need to be vacuumed once a month on top and bottom sides. You can even put on a bed bag on the surface of your bed, to ensure that the bugs will not return.
