wikki how 4 easy steps to handle bed bugs
When we bought our Temper Pedic bed we also purchased a bed cover. It was soft on top but had a plastic-like 'coating' on the bottom of it which guaranteed us that nothing would get the actual bed stained and also, more importantly, nothing could penetrate from below. It has worked for over 10 years now. Clean your mattress very well, on top and on the bottom. Clean the box springs, if you have them, clean the headboard, and all parts of your bed stand. Before putting on new, clean sheets, put on the mattress cover, then make your bed as usual. Should eliminate all types of bugs getting to you. They can't penetrate the bed cover and can't breath if they try.
Diatomaceous earth, vacuuming and steam are only things that seem to do any good slowing them down. They are impervious to insecticides, apparently. Zippered covers and leg interceptors are a must, also!
What is not being said in the US is that there is a bed bug infestation everywhere. If you live in an apartment, and you have them but get rid of them, they will be back because your neighbor has them.
Heat, heat , and more heat. Black plastic bags in the sun full of your stuff works. Spraying doesn't work. And remember, you can't kill them just once, but they lay eggs so you have to go over everything frequently. They live in the smallest cracks in furniture, the walls...Nasty buggers.
We had them with no clue where they came from. I believe we used 5 or 6 different bug killers that were supposed to get rid of bedbugs. None of which even slowed them down. My husband suggested one day that I try the OFF bug repellant I had for going outside. I sprayed the bed frame, mattress, box springs, carpet, and outlets. Within a couple days there was no sign of a bedbug. I continued to spray every day for a week and have not seen any since. Hope this helps. They are so aggravating.
Beware of doctor's offices and hospitals in general. My granddaughter contacted TB at a doctor's office.
