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.
