Bed Bugs - How to get rid of bed bugs
how to Kill Bed Bugs Naturally
Bed bugs live on the dead skin that is constantly
flaking off normal humans. We are not so much allergic
to the bed bugs but to their excretions. The bed bugs have a breeding cycle of about three
weeks. So you interupt the cycle by washing everything
every 2 weeks.
Alot of the chemicals in the
products to elimate these bed bugs can cause can breathing problems. The only chemical (in the US at least) that will kill the bed bugs is special spray. Not only does it destroy the bed bugs but it
also removes the allergen containing excrement of the bed bugs. Remember
however that this is a moist powder for carpet application and must be used
as a maintenance procedure (use it initially, then 3 months later and then
once every 6 months).
You can kill bed bugs in pillows by putting them in the freezer for a day
or two! And wash bed linen hot - 60c or more. Other natural ways - get rid of the carpets and soft furnishings. Have
wood or laminated floors, venetian blinds instead of curtains and use
washable in hot loose covers on sofas and the like with a dust bed bugs-
proof layer underneath.
Best way to kill the bed bugs in a carpet is to get rid of the carpet. Thick
hairy carpets are a haven for dust and bed bugs, practically impossible to
keep clean. Today's fashionable thick hairy carpets with thick pad underneath
hurt my feet, in addition to being bad for anybody with respiratory problems.
Be busy with the vacuum cleaner and use one which filters it's output
well so you aren't recycling the bed bugs. Wet dust instead of dry
dust - and wash the duster in hot.
