Determine their locations
First, you must determine the places where bedbugs can be found after they enter the house, as they like to be in places where people sleep, and therefore they are found in abundance in hotels and boarding houses. Also, bedbugs can easily enter holes and cracks thanks to their flat bodies, and therefore they hide in Cracks, especially furniture cracks, can be transmitted from one house to another through wall cracks and gaps in wires. They also love warmth and therefore enter laptops, for example, and modem ports. It should be noted that bedbugs are found in clean as well as dirty rooms. Because it feeds on human blood, not filth.
Cleaning the places where bedbugs live
To eliminate bedbugs in the home, several steps must be followed, the most important of which are:
- Getting rid of bedbugs begins by washing bed sheets, curtains, and bedding with hot water and drying them at a high temperature. Items that cannot be washed, such as shoes, should be placed in the dryer for at least half an hour.
- Some items that contain bugs can be frozen, but this must be at a temperature below -18 degrees Celsius, for four days, and longer for larger items.
- Clean the entire room with a vacuum cleaner, remove the bag inside it, put it in a plastic waste bag, and dispose of it immediately.
- Cover the beds with strong fabric, so that it forms a barrier that prevents bugs from entering or leaving, and keep it there for at least a full year, as bugs can only live for one year without food.
- Seek help from specialists if bedbugs are not controlled.
Tips and instructions when getting rid of bedbugs
- The method of instant freezing by pumping gas is ineffective because it causes insects to fly around the room.
- Trying to eliminate bedbugs by opening windows and doors, and turning off the heating is also useless.
- Abandoning the room where bedbugs live for a year is often feasible, but bedbugs can migrate to a nearby location and then return, so be careful.
