Bed Bugs - How to get rid of bed bugs
Bed Bugs Bites Humidity
The first step is buy a hygrometer (humidity meter); they
aren't expensive. If humidity is under 50% or so, bed bugs
don't grow so you shouldn't have a problem in many areas.
If humidity is high, you would need to buy a dehumidifier;
they can be expensive since they involve refrigeration.
Also keeping the temperature on the cool side discourages
them, say 68F (20C)
alternative to pesticide spraying. Most of the products on the market carry
these chemicals. Alot of these pesticides that are in these canisters causes
adverse effects.
Bed bugs die without adequate moisure.
Some males of the species employ a special trick to survive dry spells - they
cluster together to conserve water. Now the researchers need to learn what
makes bed bugs cluster. Scientists have thought that when bed bugs cluster
together, moisture gets trapped between them, so they're better able to survive
low humidity in groups than they would be by themselves. Scientists have
discovered that bed bugs don't drink water, they suck molecules of it from
the air. They also lose water from the surface of their hard outer shells.
That's why dry environments are particularly inhospitable to bed bugs.
