If your home is infested with insects, you can use this guide to get rid of them for good
Bed bugs are tiny creatures that are pretty persistent in getting rid of them.
The presence of these insects has nothing to do with how clean your home is, and they can appear out of nowhere.
However, if your house has clutter, it will take a lot of patience to clear it up.
Here is a step-by-step guide to the best approach to practice.
This is how you can tell if you have bed bugs in your home
Have itchy rashes after a night’s sleep but not sure where they are coming from?
If the rashes are accompanied by arched bite marks, chances are you were bitten by a bed bug.
The bites can also swell into blisters.
However, if you are unsure whether a bed bug bite is from, consult your doctor at the earliest.
Identify any beetle infested areas
It is important to identify the areas infected by bugs to prevent them from multiplying.
Use a flashlight to check your mattress for dark spots or reddish stains.
While their tiny bodies can make it difficult to spot the bugs, the seams of the couch, furniture joints, and curtain folds are just a few of the spots that you need to carefully inspect.
Next, take steps to contain the infestation
Once you’ve identified the spots, it’s important to contain them to prevent the beetles from spreading further.
A quick way to do this is to run your vacuum cleaner over all possible hiding spots.
After you’ve thoroughly vacuumed all of the identified areas, seal the vacuumed contents in a plastic bag and clean them.
Wash the bedding and dry it in the hot sun.
Monitor the area for signs of activity
Even after you’ve got rid of all of the bed bugs in the area, check the infected areas for signs of activity once a week.
You should also place bed bug traps that can trap these red bugs before they climb on furniture.
Bed bugs are stubborn creatures that are easy to get rid of, and if they don’t go away, you’ll need to call in a professional exterminator.
