“Don’t let the bedbugs bite”, so we would say to a loved one or a friend to bide them a good sleep. Such is our dislike for these little parasitic insects of the family Cimicidae.

The bedbug’s (Cimex lectularius) notoriety stems from its preference for human blood as its only source of nourishment.

Eliminating bedbugs could prove a daunting task since they hide so well and reproduce so quickly. Achieving complete control could take many weeks or even months depending on the level of infestation and the nature of the infested site: whether or not it’s cluttered, the presence of a nearby source of the outbreak and the willingness of all residents to participate in the elimination process.

Simple Methods Of Eliminating Bedbugs

A bedbug infestation is difficult to deal with and more often than not when we feel we are rid of them; they come right back. It is, therefore, necessary to carefully look for any evidence of bedbugs every few days after you complete your initial cleanup and control processes.

Below are a few methods of getting rid of bedbugs for good without further delay.

Call a professional bed bug exterminator

Professional pest management companies use registered and safe insecticides in the form of spray applications. These can get rid of most bed bugs. The entire house is treated except the kitchen. You will be asked to prepare the home in advance: move furniture, cover the bedding and store away pricey objects and electrical goods safely. A second application is usually done after two weeks to ensure getting rid of the eggs and larvae

Launder bed clothes and linen

Wash and thoroughly dry all items showing signs of bed bug activity (blood stains, discarded exoskeletons) including bed sheets, curtains and other household linen. Dry them for at least 20 minutes using the highest setting of heat on the dryer. This is a sure way of getting rid of those blood-sucking bugs, eggs and larvae.

Apply Pesticides

If you cannot afford to hire a pest management professional, you can use pesticides carefully according to the label instructions.

• Only EPA registered pesticides
• Bedbug-specified pesticide, do not use general pesticide if bedbug is not listed.
• Bug bombs or foggers can be used, but it is not advisable because improper use can affect your health or cause an explosion.

However, getting rid of bedbugs is tricky, and can further spread the bugs to other parts of the house. It is wise to seek the advice of a professional pest exterminator before getting rid of bed bugs yourself.

In conclusion, it is important to note that even though one of these ways to get rid of bed bugs have worked for you. Nonetheless, you must continue to check for signs of bed bugs in places such as behind picture frames, inside books, magazines and papers, on the floor, in the mattress corners, box springs etc. for weeks following the treatment.
