Bed Bugs: Treatment for Bed Bugs That Actually Work

Bed bugs are rapid breeders, so once they attach themselves to a hosts luggage or clothing item, a bed bug infestation in your home is inevitable. Bed bugs are so tiny that they can hide in cracks and crevices as thin as a credit card. While not exactly a hazard to your health, they do cause red, itchy bumps on the skin that can become infected. 

Bed Bugs: Treatment for Bedding and Furniture

To get rid of bed bugs, you have to start cleaning where they live. Here’s how you should go about it:

  • Scrub your mattress seams and headboard using a firm brush to remove bedbugs and their eggs before vacuuming.
  • Clean linen, bedding, curtains, clothing, stuffed animals, shoes and other washable items in hot water and dry them on the highest dryer setting. 
  • Vacuum your bed, furniture and surrounding area. Immediately place the vacuum cleaner contents in a plastic bag and throw it out.
  • Get rid of clutter around the bed.
  • Repair baseboard cracks, peeling wallpaper and cracked wall plaster to eliminate places where bedbugs can hide.

You may want to throw out your mattress and get a new one if it’s heavily infested. But make sure you treat the rest of your home for bedbugs, to prevent them from infesting your new mattress once again.
