Bed Bugs Treatment - How to Get Rid of Them Step-By-Step
By Olivia Stanford
Bed bugs are making a comeback, and bed bugs treatment and removal is starting to be a necessary evil in this century - no matter where you live or how clean you are.
Bed Bugs Treatment Starts With Prevention
The best way to prevent a bed bug infestation is to keep them from getting into your home.
Unfortunately, bed bugs are becoming a global problem, and since these little bugs are fast and invasive, it can be tough to keep them out.
When you travel, bring a flashlight. Check the mattress where you're staying for any small dark stains. Look in the crevices of the mattress, and the seams. Check carefully. It is unlikely that you'll see a bug, but you may see evidence of them. They will leave dark (blood) stains when they get crushed as the previous person rolled over, or they may simply leave excrement.
Either way, they're gross.
If you see evidence of bed bugs, leave the room immediately. If you can't leave, then make sure that your luggage is placed in the bathtub or elevated off the floor. This way the insects can't climb into your suitcase and hitch a ride to your home.
Don't leave any clothing or other items on the floor where bed bugs can hitch an easy ride to your house.
Bed Bugs Habits and Bite Evidence
I have a friend who is an exterminator. In talking with him the other day, he said that he had recently attended a bed bugs symposium for exterminators. He told me, "Bed bugs are bad news. I'd take cockroaches any day over a bed bugs infestation."
This is because effective bed bugs treatment is not just a simple application of chemical. This is going to take some careful effort on your part to eradicate them.
Bed bugs sleep during the day and come out at night to feed on blood. Humans are a favorite target, although they will also feed on dogs and cats. They are fast little creatures who can hide in a space as small as the thickness of a credit card. These insects at maturity measure about ? inch long.
Picture a bug about the length of a single grain of rice.
Evidence of bed bugs can include bites on your person. They will typically feed in a small area, injecting an anti-coagulant substance under the skin to allow your blood to flow easily. You will generally see a small localized area of several bites on your skin to indicate the presence of bed bugs. (Check out the photo.)
