How to get rid of bed bugs for good? If you suspect bed bugs, the first step to getting rid of them is to find the source. Look for tiny red or brown spots on your skin (these are bites from the itchy nymphs that feed on you while you sleep) and use a bright flashlight to carefully inspect all surfaces of the mattress, headboard, footboard, box spring, and frame. Also examine all of the cracks and crevices in furniture, nightstands, dressers, chests, and other furniture where they like to hide. Insecticide sprays that work well on bed bugs include residual liquid and aerosol insecticides such as Spectre 2 SC, CrossFire Bed Bug Insecticide Concentrate, Temprid FX, Doxem NXT, D-Fense NXT, Cimexa Dust, and Bedlam Plus Aerosol.
What is the full form of pest?
Vacuum – Vacuuming can help reduce the bed bug population by dehydrating and dispersing the nymphs. Be sure to vacuum the tufts and seams of your mattress, the cracks and crevices of the bed frame and nightstands, and the edges of baseboards. Also, if you have a powerful heat steamer, toss all bedding, pillow cases, and mattress encasements in the dryer on the highest heat setting to kill the bed bugs and their eggs.
Insecticide Dust – After cleaning and steaming, you can spray or vacuum the area and apply insecticide dust to hard to reach areas. There are several great products available that are non-toxic silica dusts. These products cause abrasions on the outer layer of the bed bugs’ exoskeleton, causing them to dehydrate and die.
