Sometimes living inside an apartment infested with bedbugs is like living in a nightmare. Here you are going to learn a few tips on how to flash them out permanently.
Make heat your friend
Wash all bedding and any other infested garment in hot soapy water and dry them under the sun. If you have a washing machine, make good use of the hot water button. You can also heat the bed linens in a clothes dryer for a few minutes, minding their care instructions. Bedbugs love to hide, go after them in their hideouts and sprinkle hot water.
Clean the infested room
Thoroughly clean the infested room(s). Use a stiff brush to scrub all infested surfaces, giving attention to cracks and crevices where the bedbugs could be hiding. This also helps in dislodging the eggs and cleaning marks left by the bugs. A vacuum cleaner, if available, would come in handy. Run the vacuum literally everywhere - across the mattress and even under the bed.
Spray them
After cleaning, you can now use a spray, in this case, a pesticide spray for bedbugs. Give special attention to areas where the bedbugs hide. Avoid contact with the pesticide and remember to read and follow all instructions and label directions carefully. Dispose cans well and keep unused pesticides away from children’s reach.
