How to Prevent and Remove Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are difficult to eradicate and can cause itching and discomfort. Start by inspecting your mattress, bed frame, and nearby furniture for small, rust-colored spots or the bugs themselves. Cleaning and Treatment: Wash all bedding, curtains, and clothing in hot water and vacuum your mattress and surrounding area. Encase your mattress and box springs in bed bug-proof covers to trap any remaining bugs and prevent re-infestation. Preventive Measures: Reduce clutter around the bed and consider steam-cleaning your mattress, as high heat kills bed bugs. For severe infestations, it’s best to consult a professional exterminator.
