How to Kill Bed Bugs
Author: Wanda Lam
So you want to know how to kill bed bugs? Bed bugs are a big problem for many people. If you think you are being victimized by these pesky little creatures, then you may have already obsessed about getting rid of them.
Killing these guys and destroying the eggs they lay is the only way to get your life back to normal.
Bed bugs are pests that hide inside your mattress and box spring during the day as well as in the cracks and crevices of your bedroom floor and walls... While you are asleep at night, they crawl out of their favorite hiding places and feast on your blood.
Some people may develop an allergic reaction to the saliva that bed bugs leave from their bites. Medical treatment can control the allergic outbreak, but the best course of action is to exterminate bed bugs before this can happen.
Getting rid of bed bugs isn't easy or fun... Buying a bug spray is the cheapest solution if your bed bug infestation isn't widespread. But, before you use a bug spray you need to make sure bed bugs are the cause of your bites.
When you notice a live flat oval shaped wingless insect about ¼ inches long running by, try to capture it. Look for photos or illustrations of bed bugs online and see if what you caught appears the same. Once you positively identified these pests as bed bugs, you can then plan their extinction.
Bed bugs like clutter. So you'll need to clean-up or re-organize your room to make it neat to reduce places for them to hide. Vacuum your bed, floors and furniture. Buy and use bug spray that says it will kill bed bugs. We reviewed a few products that users say works.
You may think you need a fogger, but the best way is to spot treat by spraying inside and around those cracks and crevices on the walls and floors where bed bugs hide. When spraying your mattress, let it dry out before putting the sheets back on.
Getting rid of bed bugs may take some time and effort... But if a back to normal life without bites and allergic reactions is important to you, then you really don't have any other choice. Sprays or insecticides are probably the most effective way to kill bed bugs and their eggs and to prevent any future infestations.

“This is an ancient insect whose roots are thought to go back to the times of cave dwellers. For many years, bedbugs were found in numerous communities around the US. As late as the 1950′s, bedbugs were a considerable problem. After the discovery of DDT and its application here, the incidence of bedbug infestations declined.
Why has this pest surfaced once again? There are a number of theories. First, there is much more world travel. Also, more people visit from other countries that have bedbug problems. This pest is carried from one place to another in luggage and on clothing. With more bedbug problems, hotel and motel travelers run a greater risk of contact with bedbugs and may eventually bring bedbugs home with them.
Another suggested reason for the resurgence of the bedbug is a shift to the use of bait gels, a common food based replacement for the liquid insecticides previously used inside homes. Although sprays may have helped to suppress bedbug populations, bait gels do not attract bedbugs, which seek blood from a live host.”
The web sites below have answers, and the treatment must be thorough or they will return. A bedbug can go for a year without food and still live. You should hire a prefessional to treat your home, and wash, wash, wash everything that comes in contact with you and your bed. Good luck!!

For bed bugs? Take off all linens and freeze them for 24 hours and/or wash them in the hottest water possible. Do the same with any clothing in the room. Steam clean the mattress all over as well as the carpets. Vacuum in mattress seams, corners and drawers and freeze the vacuum bag. These steps will kill many of them for you off the bat.
Most pesticides contain the ingredients (dichlorvos, permethrin and malathion) to get rid of the rest, but bedbugs are VERY persistent and good at hiding. Best bet is to call the Orkin man.
One good step is prevention. A bedbug can live a year without food (you). Don’t make it easy on them. Isolate your bed the best you can to keep them from feeding on you.

Get an exterminator in there as quickly as possible so the chemicals that are used will be gone before the baby arrives. Also let the exterminator know that you sister is pregnant so he will use non toxic chemcials. Good luck.
