Kill Bed Bugs

Getting rid of bed bugs can be quite difficult. An adult bed bug can even survive without a meal for over a year!

Here are some Bed Bug do-it-yourself Tips before you call an exterminator:

• Thoroughly wash, vacuum and clean all surfaces and bedding.
• Wash and/or dry-clean bedding and all affected clothing. Use hot water and a dryer on the hottest setting whenever possible.
• Vacuum mattresses. Seal mattresses in plastic. Leave them outside in hot sun for as long as possible.
• Steam clean all carpets and rugs.
• Spray cracks in walls, floors, and crevices with insecticides designed to control bed bugs. Follow directions carefully. Do not treat bedding with insecticide, or any places which people will contact.
  
  If you have tried theses methods and you still can't get rid of bed bugs, you may need to hire a professional. A qualified exterminator uses stronger insecticides to kill bedbugs. Repeated treatments may be necessary to ensure that all bedbugs are killed.
