Green Tree Pest Control: Getting Rid of Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are one of the most annoying pests for one primary reason: they bite while you are sleeping and unaware. If you have ever woken up to discover itchy red bed bug bites on your skin, you know how troubling it can be. Follow these steps to get rid of them for good.

Laundry

Bed bugs live near, in, or around the bed. First things first: wash your sheets, pillowcases, blankets, mattress pad, bed skirt, and even nearby drapes in the bedroom. Dry the linens on a hot cycle to ensure the bed bugs are killed off.

Furniture

Bed bugs can also get into wood furniture in the room. You may need to dismantle your bed frame, empty nightstands and dressers, and check your under-bed storage to find the infestation. Check cracks and crevices in the walls and molding. Use a flashlight to help you recognize the small bugs and eggs, which may be all together or scattered in various places.
