Contrary to what most people believe, bed bugs are not associated with dirt. This means that no matter how clean you keep your home, these insects can still find their way to you. There has been a resurgence of bed bugs leading to many types of research on the proper ways to get rid of the bed bugs. Bed bugs are small in size but are visible to the human eye. They are oval-shaped, brown in color, and cannot fly or jump. Bed bugs crawl out of their hiding at night to feed. They feed on human blood resulting in bed bug bites. Bed bugs do not cause diseases but some people react badly to the bites.

    Bed bugs do not always reside in the mattresses, they however are often found in mattresses and proper measures should be taken. Try moving your bed further from the wall as this will make an infestation less more likely.

    • Vacuum the affected area

    Before treatment make sure that the whole affected area is thoroughly vacuumed. Do not only concentrate on the bed and mattress only. Vacuum the slats and headboard too.

    • Use of Diatomaceous Earth

    This is often considered the best treatment to control bed bugs. It is cheap and very easy to use. Its powdery nature means that it can be sprinkled everywhere. The only problem with this is that it takes longer to work. Directions of use: apply the Diatomaceous Earth to the area and let it sit for a few days, you will gradually start to sport dead bugs.

    • Use bicarbonate soda

    Baking soda can be used to effectively kill bed bugs. It is thought that bicarbonate soda works by dehydrating the skin of bed bugs. This is also a cheap alternative and it works well.

    This is also another natural quick way of treating bed bugs. Sprinkled borax on mattresses mixed with a little water will suffocate the bugs. It is also useful especially when washing the affected beddings and items.

    • Vinegar
