7 Easy Hacks To Say Goodbye To Bed Bugs

Steam Them out:

High heat kills the bed bug instantly, heat especially above 49 degrees Celsius. Focus on mattresses, sofa seams, and crevices.

Vacuum Like a Pro:

Always vacuum your mattress, carpets, and furniture thoroughly, and don’t forget the corners and cracks. Then, immediately, through the vacuum bag outside.

Sprinkle Diatomaceous Earth:

The Diatomaceous powder dehydrates the bed bugs, so sprinkle it under the beds, baseboards, and behind furniture as well.

Use Protective Mattress Covers:

You can use bed bug proof covers as they lock in already existing bugs and stop the new ones from entering in, so keep your mattress and box spring zipped up in these covers for at least a year.

Wash & Heat-Dry Everything:

Strip your bed and wash all linens, curtains, and clothes in hot water, as they hate heat, and then dry them in the high heat areas.

Declutter the Hideouts:

They love clutter, so always keep your space clean. Clear all the piles of clothes, papers and unused items as it can be their hiding place.

Call the Pros if Needed:

And still, if there are bed bugs and getting out, call a pest control expert as professional heat or chemical treatments are the safest bet many times.
