Bed Bugs: How to Get Rid of Them Fast and for Good

Finding pests in your home isn’t ideal for anyone, but some pests are more unsettling than others. Bed bugs come to mind when thinking about the most unwelcome pests. These little critters make their way into your home and feed on your blood while you sleep. It sounds like something out of a horror movie, right? What’s even worse is that infestations can spread very quickly, making it much more difficult to eradicate bed bugs. 

A bed bug infestation may be unsettling, but you should be able to sleep a little easier if you know what attracts them and how to get them under control. 

Primary Cause of Bed Bugs

Bed bugs have been around for millions of years. Travel is one of the main causes of bed bug infestations since they are excellent hitchhikers. Often, you will find bed bugs in hotels. When guests leave, they catch a ride in their luggage or clothes in search of a new place to infest. Bed bugs feed on your blood, with meals lasting around ten minutes. You can’t feel bed bugs, but they cause skin irritations that can become painful. 

Get Rid of Bed Bugs Fast

As we’ve said before, it can be challenging to get rid of bed bugs, which is why it is a job best left to professionals. If you have a bed bug problem, get in touch with Pest Control Pros right away. Below are some things you can do to prevent future infestations.

Cut down on Clutter to Reduce Hiding Spots

Bed bugs love hiding in all kinds of places. Consider getting rid of piles of magazines or newspapers to lower the risk of an infestation.

Make It Difficult for Them to Hide

Don’t give bed bugs a place to hide in your home. Check baseboards for crevices and cracks, then caulk any possible entry points. Repair wall damage and ensure wallpaper isn’t loose. Check wall switches and outlets for signs of bed bugs. 

Keep Your Bed Clean and Away from the Wall

Wash your bed linen — sheets, pillowcases, comforters and mattress toppers — regularly and at the highest temperature setting allowed. Move your bed at least six inches away from the wall.
