Bed bugs are one of the most difficult pests to eliminate due to their ability to hide in crevices and their rapid reproduction. To combat this infestation, it is essential to follow a detailed treatment plan and use the appropriate products for each level of infestation. Here is a step-by-step guide to getting rid of bed bugs.
Steps to eliminate bed bugs effectively:
Step 1: Assess the Level of Infestation
Before starting treatment, assess the severity of the infestation:
● Initial infestation (normal): Few signs of bed bugs, such as light bites, some blood stains on sheets, and few exoskeletons.
● High infestation: Abundant presence of visible bedbugs, scattered excrement, characteristic sweet odor and recurrent bites.
Recommended Products:
● For initial (normal) infestation: Use the Complete Bed Bug Elimination Kit .
● For heavy infestation: Use theComplete Bed Bug Elimination Kit - Heavy Infestation .
Step 2: Prepare the Environment
- Wash all fabrics:
- Wash sheets, blankets, pillowcases, curtains and bed linen in hot water (minimum 60°C) to eliminate bed bugs and eggs.
- Vacuum all surfaces:
- Vacuum mattresses, sofas, rugs, baseboards and corners of the room.
- After vacuuming, dispose of the vacuum bag immediately in a sealed plastic bag.
- Organize the space:
- Get rid of unnecessary items or severely infested furniture.
- Keep the environment clean and clutter-free to facilitate treatment.
