Bed bugs are a kind of parasitic insects that have lived by our side for thousands of years. But that doesn’t mean, that they are great neighbors – bed bug bites don’t transport serious illnesses, but may be a cause of skin rash, allergic symptoms and even lead to psychological problems. That’s why you need to know are there any of these parasites in your house and how to get rid of bed bugs fast.
There are a lot of different kinds of home parasites, so you need to be able to recognize them from their appearance. Bed bugs are reddish-brown flat hexapod the size of an apple seed in their “hungry” state. There are a few bed bugs symptoms, by which you can identify their presence:
- Where They Live
You can see them or products of their vital functions in your bed sheets, clothes, within the furniture or even inside electric sockets.
- How They Smell
You can also find the bugs by the smell of rotten raspberries – there are even trained dogs, which are able to find them by it!
- How They Feed
You are the only food the insects need – all they feed on is blood. Usually they identify the presence of human by the CO2 concentration around us. It’s difficult to identify them by their bites – they are simple red dots on our body, mainly around your ankles.
How To Kill Bed Bugs：
- Clean Up And Make The Rearrangement
Swiping away all the bugs and eggs from the places they live is the first step in destroying their population. You surely won’t be able to pick them all out at once, as they usually move very fast, especially in presence of threat. Rearrangement of the furniture will help you to “confuse” the insects and will make them leave their hiding places.
- Check The Common Hiding Spots
There are a number of places in your house that insects really like. They are usually dark, warm and wet places, and you should check them all. Pay the special attention to the insides of your furniture, under the wallpaper, your mattress and bed sheets. Recently, more and more often they occupy the electric sockets, so try to carefully disassemble the nearest one to your bed.

As a first step we need to clean the bed sheets, pillowcases and duvet. Next, treat the joints between the bed board and the bed frame, the side seams of the mattress, the seams between the mattress and the bed board, as well as the seams between the back side of the bed frame and the wall, the seams inside the cabinet and the skirt around the bed with bed bug powder. Sprinkle bed bug powder evenly over the above areas, don’t use too small an amount, and the next thing you know you can wait for the powder to do its job and eliminate the bed bugs!
