How to get rid of bed bugs?
Bedbugs are a nasty problem that can disrupt your sleep and peace of mind. It's creepy to think that there are little bugs like this in our beds and maybe even moving around while we're asleep... But try them one by one, and getting rid of them doesn't have to be a daunting task. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you tackle the issue head-on.
Follow these steps to try it out
- Recognize their signs: Start by recognizing signs of bed bugs, such as small red bite marks on your skin or traces of their dark brown bodies around your bed. If you do have the misfortune to notice these signs and feel very uncomfortable, be prepared to deal with them (unless you are ready to live with them, which is also an option).
- Clean thoroughly: Vacuum the mattress, box spring, bed frame, and surrounding area with a special anti-mite vacuum to remove as many bedbugs and their eggs as possible. Although mites are not the same as bed bugs, this anti-mite vacuum cleaner generally has a high temperature and ultraviolet function, which is also effective against bed bugs. Don't forget to put the machine's garbage bag into a sealed bag in time and dispose of it outdoors.
- Wash all the clothes: I'm afraid this is the most effective way, although the steps are more complicated. Kill any remaining bedbugs and eggs by washing all bedding, linens and clothing in hot water and drying it on the highest setting (preferably with sunlight, UV rays are very helpful for killing eggs).
- Don't eat food in bed: This is also very important. I can understand people wanting to stay in bed as much as possible during their breaks, given how busy modern life is! However, eating in bed is easy to leave residue, which will attract all kinds of bugs and small creatures, bedbugs are one of them. Worst-case scenario... There are even cockroaches. So it's better to get rid of this habit as soon as possible.
- Use bed products that have been treated with mite removal: although mites and bed bugs are not the same, bed products that have been treated with mite removal also have a certain effect on preventing bed bugs. If you are a less diligent person, I think using such bedding is also a good way. All of our Cotton Rotary Print bedding at Pingio Home is treated with Sanitized® certified mite repellant, so you may want to consider it. However, it should be noted that all bed products treated with anti-mite agents will actually weaken the effect after washing many times, so I recommend that it is best to reduce the number of washing of such bed products
Remember to stick to maintain hygiene
By following these steps, you can rid your home of bed bugs and regain your peace of mind. But remember, persistence and hygiene are the key to defeating these pests - after all, prevention is more effective than treatment
