How To Get Rid Of Bed Bug – My Mum’s Little Adventure By Tom Says At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

“How to get rid of bed bugs?” was a question my mum bugged me with. Pun intended :-)

In case bed bugs is something new to you, they are small brownish-red insects with a long antennae and flat bodies, and their feeding habits of living off blood of sleeping humans is really a pain for my nephew and I.

If your child were like my nephew – and the poor little thing woke up with these “gigantic” bug bites, you may be screaming your head too. He went to bed without these bites, but woke up with them. There were red itchy and burning welts on his skin, pretty similar to mosquito bites.

Now, how can we be sure that it’s not mosquitoes, but bed bugs. It was due to the presence of the dried excrement of the bed bugs which showed up as dark spotting on the mattress, not to mention the tiny spots of blood. And the smell of those spotting wasn’t exactly Chanel perfume either.

There is more than one way to skin the cat, so to speak, and bed bug infestation treatment can be done in many different ways. The highly recommended practice was to get the pros to eradicate these pests.

That, however, doesn’t mean that we don’t have to keep our homes clean. Regular vacuuming would help. Yet another way was to remove the infested mattress and cleaning it with a steam cleaner.

Another way on how to get rid of bed bugs was to use safe pesticides to remove them. Try pesticides made from canola oil and pyrethins, which are flower based extracts. They are probably safer for your kids.

Here’s an urban myth for you – using extremely high or cold temperature doesn’t really help in killing these buggies. This is because these critters are pretty hardy and it would take a while to kill them off.

When there is a bed bug infestation, it is important to get rid of them fast. They mate and multiply faster than the bunnies, and can pretty soon over-run your home faster than you can run out of it.

Okay, I have got the pest control pros on the line, and I can tell you for sure how to get rid of bed bugs – get the pros to do it now!
