How can bed bugs be completely eradicated?

Bed bugs were also called bed lice, wall lice, etc. in ancient China. They live in various cracks in human dwellings and beds, feeding on the blood of humans and warm-blooded animals. They hide during the day and suck blood at night, harassing people so they cannot sleep. Long-term biting and blood-sucking can cause anemia, insomnia and neurasthenia in humans. Let's take a look below at how to completely eradicate bed bugs!

Clean the environment

Keep the home clean, frequently clean the home environment and remove clutter, especially in odd corners and small places, which are the areas bed bugs frequent. Sprinkle lime in cracks where bed bugs are more likely to appear. Where bed bug trails are found, wash with scalding hot water to prevent bed bugs from leaving their eggs there.

Manual capture and killing

Manual capture and killing is relatively time-consuming and labor-intensive work. Knock on bed boards and corners to use the bed bugs' alert nature to shake them out, and then you will see the tiny bed bugs. However, bed bugs are agile, especially for friends who are particular about cleanliness. Wear gloves as much as possible, and after catching the bed bugs, use wire or fire to directly execute them.

Killing with boiling water

Bed bugs fear high temperatures most. Generally, using boiling water to kill bed bugs is the most thorough, because boiling water also directly kills bed bug eggs, leaving bed bugs no chance of recurrence at all. For bed sheets, bed boards and other places where bed bugs breed, be sure to wash them with scalding boiling water, which can kill the remaining eggs and eliminate them completely.

Exposure to sunlight

Bed bugs fear exposure to sunlight. For items that cannot be soaked in boiling water, choose a day with relatively strong direct sunlight and expose them under the sun for 4 to 6 hours. During this period, be sure to turn them over, because since you are killing insects, you must do it in all directions.

Spraying with pesticides

There are many pesticides for killing bed bugs. After choosing one pesticide, clear out all items on the bed (except the bed board), and expose quilts, pillows, clothes, etc. under the sun. Spray the bed board thoroughly on both the front and back sides until wet, and also apply pesticide treatment to other breeding places such as cabinets, gaps in the bed frame and room corners.
