subject: Simple Methods to Get Rid of Bed Bugs [print this page] Bedbugs have been existent since ancient times; however their existence declined greatly at the start of the 20th century. In the recent past, loads of bedbug infestations are being reported. Also, bedbugs can easily travel from one place to another by clinging on to luggage, bedding, furniture and garments.
If you were to look around for these bugs, they appear like tiny brown insects. Quite a few times, we notice dark brown spots on the mattresses or bedding. As a matter of fact, these spots are the excretions of these bedbugs. These spots also serve as a trail, giving out evidence that the bedbugs might have lived there. Bedbugs would resemble the colour of wood or other fabric colours and hence they are rarely found on steel or plastic furniture.
The best way to eliminate bedbugs is to identify their hideouts. At the time when you stay in motels or hotels, ensure that you check the head-boards since these are the famous bedbug hangouts. Examine every piece of furniture for eggs or nymphs. Check all areas of your home, especially sofas, cushions, TV stands or lamp stands. In case if the infestation is pretty extreme, it would be beneficial to approach a professional bedbug extermination company, so as to seek assistance from subject matter experts. As far as the home remedies are concerned, you could spray alcohol in the bedbug hideouts or their eggs, since it would kill them instantly. Once the bedbugs are eliminated, it would be suggestive to clean your house completely, from the interior as well as the exterior.
