How to independently bring home bugs in the apartment

The difficulties of removing bedbugs from the apartment

Bed bugs - small insects with a very oblate body that feeds exclusively on blood. The conditions of the apartments are ideal for their stay: the temperature and humidity conditions are optimal for their vital activity. They to fly, can not jump, but moving fast enough. The peak of activity of parasites occurs at night, before dawn, when a person is fast asleep. During bite, the bug introduces an anesthetic substance, thanks to which the victim feels nothing while he performs his bloody meal. The interval between feeding adults ranges from 7-10 days, so with a small infestation, a person for a long time is unaware of the existence of "neighbors".

Insects breed very fast. Males are very “loving” and can make up to 200 matings per day.

On a note!

A single fertilization is enough for a female to be able to postpone the eggs throughout his life. On average, under favorable conditions, the female lives from 1 year to 1.5 years and during this time she is able to lay 400-500 eggs. It is very problematic to destroy eggs, because they are protected by a dense shell that reliably protects them from external influences, including chemical ones.

Bedbugs - their larvae and eggs

At the first stages of “settling” of domestic bugs in an apartment, it is usually impossible to detect parasitic individuals. In the daytime they are skillfully are hiding in dark, secluded places and do not give out their presence. In most cases, by the time a person notices signs of bedbugs: brown specks of blood on the bed, chitinous skins, small black feces, characteristic linear bite marks, blood-sucking insects had time to multiply and their population can be counted in hundreds of individuals, which greatly complicates the fight against them. In this case, the question of how to get the bugs out of the apartment, rises very sharply.

The most useless methods of dealing with bedbugs

Due to ignorance of the subtleties of behavior and physiology of domestic bugs, often used original methods of breeding insects, the effectiveness of which is zero:

1. Leave the room and leave the insects on "starvation rations." Such a measure in no way helps to bring out bedbugs. In the absence of food, only part of the population decides to migrate in search of a food base. In most cases, bed bugs are in no hurry to leave their homes and simply fall into a state close to suspended animation, in which they can stay for about a year.
2. Based on the fact that bugs panic run up with a sharp turn on the light, some people leave for the night turned on the lighting lamps. Blood suckers do not scare the light of electric lamps and even more so do not drive them out of the apartment. They quickly adapt to the light and will continue their parasitic hunt.
3. The method of "home slipper" also does not help get rid of bed bugs. It is likely that in this way it will be possible to slightly reduce the number of insects, but no more.
4. Rites, rituals, conspiracies, salt sprinkling and other dances with tambourines will only amuse your households and insects.

Review of methods for the destruction of parasites

There are several ways to quickly and efficiently remove bedbugs from an apartment, each of them differs in labor intensity and cost:

• Calling professional pest control will help destroy bedbugs quickly and in most cases forever.

  Fight against bedbugs
• Chemical insecticides for independent use with proper use provide high efficiency and are able to remove bugs.
