Bed bugs suck your blood while you sleep.
The puncture holes they leave can also give rise to health issues.
Surely you want to know how to get rid of them.
Read on to discover some effective solutions that will help you confront and eliminate these pests.
Tip One: Contact a licensed pest control company.
Not everyone is up to the job of finding and eradicating bed bugs.
If you do hire a pest elimination professional, be sure to ask them to provide you with MSDS information sheets of the pesticides they use.
These sheets provide various data about how to use the pesticides, what to do in case of emergency, etc.
Tip Two: Use a vacuum cleaner with a hand-held attachment.
Once you find where your bed bugs are hiding, use a vacuum cleaner with strong suction to scoop the bugs up.
This method is not the most effective method but can work well to initially get rid of large numbers of the parasites.
It is recommended that you use other eradication methods in conjunction with vacuuming.
Tip Three: Use isopropyl alcohol and water mixture.
Add a 1:1 mixture of isopropyl alcohol and water to a fine mist spray bottle.
Spray the areas where these pests hideout.
You will allow the sprayed areas to dry naturally so be sure the room in which you spray is well-ventilated.
These are not nice bugs.
This is especially true if you have small children.
You should immediately implement an ongoing elimination and eradication program.
Then, whenever these nasty little buggers take up residence in your home, hunt them down and kill them.
