how do u get rid of bed bugs???

Yuck, those things are almost impossible to eliminate. You’ll probably have to have your mattress and box spring, and possibly your whole bedroom fumigated.

Things You’ll Need:

Washing machine
Vacuum
Steam cleaner
Insecticide

Step1
Check for infestation: if you have small bites on your arms, neck, or shoulders, in addition to spots of blood on the mattress or pillows, you may very well have a bedbug infestation.

Step2
Check the mattress for a nest. Bedbugs are easy to spot—they’re larger than fleas. If they’re transparent, they have yet to feed. If they’re brown or black, they’re full. Bedbugs can also nest in the headboard or a hole in the wall. Do a thorough search around the bed. Bedbugs can live 15 away from their feeding area so check the entire bedroom as well.

Step3
Wash your pillows and sheets immediately.

Step4
Vacuum the area thoroughly. Also remove clutter where bedbugs can hide. Cleanliness is key. A steam cleaner is also recommended.

Step5
Apply diatomaceous earth and silica aerogel to crevices where the bedbugs have been discovered. Over the counter insecticides can be effective against live bugs, but not necessarily against bugs that have yet to hatch.

Step6
Hire an exterminator if the above steps have not been completely effective.

Tips:

Bedbugs often attach themselves to your clothing or luggage after staying in a motel. Wash your clothes before sleeping in your bed at home.

Bedbugs feed for three to five minutes a night—so catching them in the act isn’t quite effective. You need to attack the nest.

Wearing long sleeves and pants to bed is not a good solution.

Bed bug bites can lead to infections. Certain people have a worse reaction to the bites than others. Get rid of the bugs as soon as they’re spotted.

If possible, use insecticide sparingly in a well-ventilated room. Insecticide uses potent chemicals.
