Killing Bed Bugs At Home


Are you looking for a way to go about killing bed bugs at home? Do you want to do it without having to use a professional exterminator or smelly sprays that could be poisonous to your family and pets?
If you don't think you can get bed bugs, think again. These insects are on the rise once again and they are everywhere. And for those of you traveling, guess what? You have a greater chance of bringing them back into your home. Why? Bed bugs are predominately found in hotel rooms, on cruise ships, boarding houses, and all other places of extended stay, as well as airplanes, trains and buses.




So what can you do to avoid them?
The first thing you should do after checking into your room is go check your bed. Lift the blankets and sheets off the bed and look carefully at the mattress. Be sure to check around the mattress rim and inside any crevices it may have from stitching, buttons, etc... Next, check the pillows and box spring. Keep in mind these blood sucking critters are active at night, so if your don't see any, look for other signs (like brown specs from waste material or dried blood) which could be signs they are there.
If your room has any furniture like chairs and sofas, be sure to check them too. Best tip: If you find any evidence of bed bugs, ask for another room or go somewhere else to stay.
Top 5 Tips To Prevent Bed Bugs From Infesting Your Home 
  1. Check your hotel room for any signs (beds, furniture, dresser drawers, carpet)
  2. Keep your luggage up off the floor (store in closet on shelves)
  3. Upon returning home, wash clothes in hot water
  4. Use an on-contact insect killer and diatomaceous earth
  5. Use vinyl zip covers to seal your mattress
If you do see any signs of infestation, take care of it immediately. You don't want yourself or your family waking up with swollen bug bites.
