Bed bugs are a particularly tricky pest to eliminate. If you’re going to get rid of these bugs for good, you should be sure to follow these steps.
First, you need to make sure that it is in fact bed bugs that have infested your home. To identify bed bugs, make sure the bug you have found has these characteristics.
Bed bugs are small, usually less than a centimeter.
They are flat and have six legs.
There are many stages of life for bed bugs so be sure to compare the look of the bug you found with pictures of bed bug eggs and so forth.
They do not have wings and are light brown in color.
Be sure to check common areas for infestation like mattresses, bedding, cracks in the floor and wall, seams of other furniture, outlets, and fixtures.
Bed bugs become resistant to chemicals if they are not treated properly by professionals. Do not use foggers or other home remedies as they can actually make the problem worse and only get rid of some of the infestation, allowing the bugs to go unnoticed and reproduce at rapid rates.
