Bed Bug Extermination Tips
Bed bugs are a major nuisance in many homes and guest rooms. If bed bugs infest your home, they can make your otherwise peaceful bedroom into a horror movie. These tiny blood-sucking vampires hide in crevices and dark areas around the bed and come out to feed at night while everyone is asleep. Although most people relate bed bug infestation to a dirty environment, this isn’t entirely the case. Termites can infest even the cleanest of bedrooms especially if you spend a night in a bed bug infested room, e.g. guest rooms.
Should you notice these apple seed sized vampires, you should then take immediate measures to have them exterminated. You can either do this yourself or call a professional pest exterminator to do the job for you. Bed bugs are unable to withstand hot temperatures and can be killed by direct sunlight.
Next, you will need to have all your personal items and affected removed and cleaned to get rid of the remaining bedbugs. Vacuuming carpets or having them cleaned by professionals (using hot water treatment/steam cleaning) and your clothes washed thoroughly with warm-hot water can help kill the bed bugs. Any personal effects such as bags and clutches can be bagged in a polyethene bag for a few days to kill any bugs in them. Bed bug extermination is however very easy especially in summer or when the sun is hot. First, you need to dismantle bed frames to expose bedbug hiding places, and then take the beddings outside in the sun.

If this however doesn’t solve the problem, you should then consider using a pesticide to kill these bugs. Alternatively, you can have a professional bed bug extermination exercise in your home. One of the main benefits of using an exterminator is the fact that, he/she will remove bed bugs and other roaches in the house. This means your home will be pest free once the exercise is over.
