Bed Bugs - How to get rid of bed bugs
Bed Bugs Cover Mattress
Wash the mattress in regular detergent at the hottest temperature possible and
cover with hypoallergenic covers. Don't use anything that states
it kills bed bugs, because those products are supposed to be filled
with chemicals you'd probably not want on your bedding.
An airbed
is the best solution, and it's pretty cheap to try out since you can get cheap ones
in supermarkets or department store. Which one to get is just
up to personal choice since they're all going to stop the bed bugs the
same way (as long as it doesn't go flat in the middle of the night!).
The air mattress is reasonably comfortable although it's
not as comfortable as a sprung mattress, but it's worth it
to avoid the bed bugs. air mattress is going to be better
than a foam one since it's just an inflatable cushion that is impervious
to the bed bugs, whereas a cloth covered foam mattress is still going to
accumulate skin scales and bed bugs inside it especially if it's open cell foam,
just like foam padded upholstered furniture will.
As well as mattress, old pillows can hold tons of bed bugs, throw out your pillow
every few months and buy very cheap supermarket ones. That's
cheaper than bothering with washing them or the covers. Of course when
you put them in the bin all the bed bugs and allergen go with them!
Even if you wash them at 60 degrees some of the allergen and skin scales
that the bed bugs feed off stays in them.
