Cheap Ways To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs

With progressive stories and reports of bed bugs, many people are becoming victims. With that being read most people cannot afford professional exterminator services to eliminate them due to a country wide economic depression. Individuals want to know what they can do to remove bed bugs without going broke.

Now I am not going to guarantee that after reading this you will be able to get rid of bed bugs, but it did work for me. My condo was infected with bed bugs, and every morning my lady friend and I would awaken with some bed bugs bites that were not there the prior evening when we went to sleep.

I did some research on bed bugs and discovered all about their eating habits, their specialties and their weaknesses and put together a compact design on how to do away with them. The perfect thing about it is, it didnt cost much money at all to start killing those blood sucking annoyances.

First step that I took to bed bug domination was moving the mattress away from the wall, making it tougher for them to get to me and my lady friend to feed. Then we bought a dust mite mattress cover for around 40 bucks to spread over the mattress and remove one of their favored spots to camp out and hide.

Next I put double sided tape on each leg of the bed frame. Now the bed bugs had no path to get onto the bed and feed, seeing as they are wingless creatures and cannot fly. Although I have read they can crawl on the ceiling and drop down on you.

It was now time for me to be the hunter and kill these bed bugs with some high heat from my old lady’s hair dryer. I used the blow dryer everywhere in the room, everywhere that I thought bed bugs and their eggs would be lurking. Once they are hit with such heat, they do not come back and the eggs never get a chance to hatch.

When it came time to rinse the dust mite cover, I ensured to cover the mattress completely with a steam iron on the hottest temperature possible. Just for the sake of distributing heat I used the blow dryer again as a clean up.

As I stated before, these methods worked for me for removing bed bugs. Depending on how severe the infestation is, I cannot predict that it will work for everybody out there, but it wont hurt to give it a try.
