Many have become victims of bed bugs at some point or
another in life. Some people may not even know that their
bed has been taken over by these little critters. Before you
can take proper action it would be reasonable to first
identify the insect, look for the symptoms, ways to evade
this dilemma and most importantly how to dispose of this
displeasure.
The insects can be seen with the naked eye. They are
reddish brown and flat. They feed on the blood of humans at
night ; allowing them to become more mobile and move
quickly. These insects are known to live in the cracks and
crannies of where people sleep.
It isn’t complicated to find out whether or not you have
this issue. A clear cut sign would be severe itching at
night. A lot of times when a person has been bitten by this
bug a trail of reddish spots are often left on skin. These
marks on the body can appear red in color and are
noticeable. It’s also possible to see blood or fecal matter
on your bedding, mattress or linen. Constant movement such
as one rolling over throughout the course of the night can
cause the crushing of one of these insects. A mature adult
bed bug will bleed heavily when squashed because it holds
more blood. When a good quantity of anticoagulant is
injected into your system it causes the over flow of your
blood as well as the shedding of the bugs skin, known as
molting can also be found on your linen.
It’s unfortunate but these bugs can live completely
anywhere that is small with folds such as luggage,
furniture, hampers and many other places. Hotel rooms,
dorms, apartments and motels can harbor these insects. They
can be found in the folds of mattresses, couches and chairs.
When checking the possibly areas of infestation check for
mature bugs, bed bug husk and eggs.
Be certain to wash your linen in hot with lots of soap. By
changing your mattress you can decrease the result in be
bugs as well as purchasing a sealable cover or even
vacuuming your mattress.
Warm soap and water can help sooth bites. Other lotions,
ointments and sprays may also be applied like calamine
lotion.
If you are would like to take matters into you own hands
then there are natural remedies such as vacuuming, steam
cleaning and placing the mattress or bedding outside in hot
temperature or cold temperature can kill the bugs.
Search online for professionals who may be available to
come in and exterminate your home. Vikane and Boric Acid are
two of the many chemicals used in the professional world of
extermination to kill insects bed bugs.
No one has to put up with the discomfort and annoyance of
bed bugs. Look for the signs, keep areas where they are
known to habitat clean and decide what kind of remedy works
best for you whether it’s natural home remedies or
