How and what to starve bugs at home
Content
Bed bugs - pests occupying leading positions in the list of parasites that poison human existence. And the view that bloodsuckers settle only in Khrushchev and hostels, is completely wrong. The habitat of bloodsuckers is very diverse, even the cleanest apartments are exposed to their invasion. The cause of bedbugs can be not only things brought from a business trip or travel, but also neighborsand even pets. Therefore, the question of how to kill bedbugs in an apartment becomes relevant for those who once discovered signs of the presence of parasites.
Signs of infection
Bites on the body, bloody stains on the bed, a peculiar smell, as well as waste products in the form of excrement and chitinous covers discarded during the molting indicate that the bugs were brought into the apartment. The ideal way out of this situation would be to contact the disinsection service. but bedbug disinfection cost not everyone can afford, so many people prefer to kill bedbugs at home on their own.
Processing methods
Anyone who has made such a decision will ask you how to independently kill bedbugs in an apartment. You can destroy the parasites by chemical and physical methods of exposure. Given that any chemical drug has a certain degree of toxicity, it’s still not worth arguing about the absolute safety of such a drug. After all, it is unlikely that inhalation of insecticidal vapors or prolonged contact with the skin surface will add health. Therefore, it is safer to kill the parasites in a physical way.The combination of these methods will help to achieve maximum results.
Freezing
What is absolutely safe and affordable to free up bedbugs is freezing. This is the ideal treatment for bed linen, baby clothes and furniture. Also, it is better for them to use people with allergies. It is enough to take out the infected items or clothing in the cold. Air temperature below -20 degrees is detrimental for both adult parasites and their eggs. However, it takes some time to freeze mattresses or frame furniture because of their “thickness” and volume. Frost bloodsuckers need at least 24 hours.
On a note!
Much more time this method will require, if it is used to process the apartment itself. In order to avoid a rush of heating and drain pipes, they must be carefully wrapped with insulating materials.
Exposure to high temperatures
In the absence of severe frosts, you can kill bedbugs in an apartment using steam generator (steam cleaner). High temperatures above +45 degrees are also dangerous for bloodsuckers. Enough hot steam to walk on all surfaces, folds and seams of clothing, a mattress or furniture, to get rid of parasites.You can create such a temperature in the room with the help of fan heaters.
Regarding contaminated clothingthen it is recommended to “roast” on the glazed balcony on a hot summer day or wash it in hot water.
Both ways to destroy bedbugs are effective in infecting things or individual objects. For the treatment of large areas, it is preferable to use chemical preparations of insecticidal composition.

Therefore a bed or sofa should be disassembled into components, as for the most part it is the blood-suckers who settle in the places of attachment. Bed linen, curtains, and clothing should be washed in hot water and heat treated with an iron. If possible, use bleach.
The prepared insecticidal agent for the staining of bugs is used in accordance with the instructions. They are carefully treated bed, cabinets, tables, cabinets, bookshelves, window sills, plinths,as well as openings for electrical outlets. For the staining of bedbugs in the crib and baby things it is better to use a steam generator. They can also go through all carpet products.
