First of all, what are bed bugs? Bed bugs are tiny little flightless insects which feed on human blood. They are most likely hiding at daytime which makes it difficult for us to find them. The best time to spot them is at night when we all go to sleep. Bed bugs can be found anywhere although you’ll find most of it in, around or under your mattress and beddings as that is where it feeds at night.
Why bedbugs are a huge problem for everyone? Its bite tends to be red, puffy, itchy, and leads to so much irritation. Usually, you will end up with so many bites on your body without you even noticing them. Its best to get rid of them as it multiplies rapidly until it is taken care of.
Here are a few steps on how to get rid of bed bugs from your mattress:
Take away all removable covers and put them in a garbage bag to prevent them from spreading going to the washing machine. Wash it with hot water.
Clean your pillow and mattress with a vacuum. Thoroughly clean it all around its seams and crevices where bed bugs like to hide. Make sure to empty the vacuum cleaner bag outside to make sure nothing is left behind.
Once your pillows or mattress are cleaned, get a bed bug proof encasement. It’s a specialized mattress protector which go all around the mattress. You have to keep it covered for at least a year to make sure all the bed bugs are gone.
You may also call a pest control professional that will make sure get rid of them all instead of going through all these steps.
Rather than putting your mattress inside an encasement, you may want to consider buying a new one.
