How to get rid of Bed Bugs

There are three reasons why you should not try to get rid of bed bugs through the use of insecticides.

1. Insecticides are not an option to get rid of bed bugs, because insecticides should never be applied to an area where you sleep.
2. There are  non toxic bed bug products on the market that are considered EPA 25(b) Exempt and are perfectly safe to use on your mattress and sleeping areas; infact your children can sleep in the room immediately after you spray it in the room.  The non toxic 25(b) Exempt safe bed bug products, are also considered highly effective and kills bed bugs.
3. The third reason is that bed bugs have grown an immunity to the toxic pesticides currently on the market and commonly used by pesticide companies.  Most Exterminating Companies continue to use the same pesticides “that don’t work” because it’s all they have.

The video below is especially helpful to understand the bedbug infestation problem the US which we are currently experiencing.

If you want to kill bed bugs, follow the steps below.

•Reduce clutter to make the bed bug inspection easier.
•Remove drawers from desks and dressers and inspect and clean all hiding spots.
•Personal items such as stuffed animals, soft toys, blankets should be removed from the room and stored in large garbage bags, cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, and bagged in plastic for for a couple of days sprinkled with diatomaceous earth if infestation is severe.
•Dismantle the bed frame and remove your mattress and box spring, you may expose additional bedbug hiding sites.
•Inspect the box spring and mattress. It is recommended to put your mattress and box spring in a zippered mattress encasement.
•Caulk and seal all holes where pipes and wires penetrate walls and floor, and fill cracks around baseboards and moldings.
•Wash your linen and bedding if possible in hot water. If washing is not available, sometimes heating the garments or bed linen for several minutes in a clothes dryer may work.
•Thoroughly clean the infested rooms with a good hospital grade disinfectant.  Scrub infested surfaces with a stiff brush to dislodge eggs.
•Vacuum in area of bed bug harborages with an vacuum attachment; then add diatomaceous earth along the base boards and rub it in the carpets.

What you can do to prevent Bed Bugs

Prevent Bed Bugs

What I suggest and do before and during overnight stays at a Hotel or even a stay with a friend or relative to prevent Bed Bugs is a quick inspection. You have to be safe and precautions because a Hotel will NOT always tell you they have Bed Bugs. A  Hotel for one is trying to make money and family and friends are to embarrassed and ashamed because they have bedbugs and that is known as a dirty thing to be infested with. And that is the number one reason as to why Bed Bugs has become a HUGE epidemic because we as people refuse to talk about this. A good thing to always bring with you when staying at a hotel is a bed bug cover.

Bed Bugs on the mattress

Therefore, what I have done as a preventative is purchased some of the All Stop Dead Bed Bug products to use on trips. I always bring trash bags in my suitcase which I enclose my suit in once I get to my destination and keep the suitcase and clothing off of the floor. I  first investigate the room for signs of  Bed Bugs on the mattress and along box spring , behind head boards, and in all crack and crevices where a credit card can fit. Once I view no visible signs. I call the front desk a request  for a change of sheets and comforter and  I use the On Contact Killing Bed Bug Spray on all upholstery items including the mattress and box spring and other areas  in the room are sprayed daily while I am there. After the mattress dries I use the Diatomaceous Earth Powder lightly and rub it into the mattress and the fix the bed again. You don’t want to cause damages to property the idea is to keep you and your family from infestation.

Once I am home my suitcase is still in plastic bag. All items are removed from suitcase in the garage and then put into a plastic bag and brought immediately in the washer and washed with the Pura Cleen Xtreem Cleen from All Stop. I then go back out to the garage and spray down the suitcase with the On Contact Killing Bed Bug Spray and make sure I get ALL crack and crevices. I also complete my trunk and the inside of my car in the same way. With follow these simple steps because I travel a lot I have not been re-infested with Bed Bugs this should keep you from becoming INFESTED.

How do BedBugs Feed?

Bedbugs survive on the blood of warm-blooded animals.  They are known as nocturnal insects since they tend to feed and usually come out of hiding at night-time.

While one is asleep, bedbugs extract blood in a very painless fashion. During their feeding time they inject their saliva into your skin. The saliva contains anticoagulants and anesthetics. Bed bugs feed for close to five minutes and then they are done. Those five minutes of feeding could keep the bed bugs filled up for a long period of time, so even if they do not have another immediate host, they can survive. And if they cannot find a human, they would then suck the blood of a warm-blooded animal.  Before the problem gets out of hand you need to find a natural bed bug killer.

It’s easy for one to confuse a mosquito bite for a bed bug bite. How does one determine a bed bug bite?

Research has said that bed bugs bite in a linear pattern of three bites, so if you have three consecutive bites on your skin then chances are you have been bitten by a bedbug. Bites from bed bugs are usually red in appearance and are either flat or raised bumps. A bite from a bedbug can show up immediately, while some bites might not show up until nine days after being bitten. In some people the bites do not show up at all.  This makes it hard to determine if there is a bedbug presence in the home or not. Too many bites from a bed bug can eventually lead to one having an allergic reaction to it which may range from moderate to serious. Other symptoms of a bed bug bite are for one to go into a state of shock, get nauseated and even may start to feel sick. See bed bug bite pictures.

As far as diseases go, research has shown that bedbugs are unable to pass along diseases from one person to another. Further research though has confirmed that bedbugs can transmit Chagas disease or hepatitis B in some rare cases.
