They can enter our home through the used bed frames, mattresses, and furniture, etc. usually they hide at the place from where they can bite people easily. Mostly they found in our mattress, furniture and bed frames and bite us in the night while we are sleeping.

BED BUGS TREATMENT
Cleaning should be started by removing their hiding places. This may include under the following:
- Remove all the bed sheets, pillow and its covers and other clothes from the mattress and wash them on the maximum setting of the dryer for at least 30 minutes in hot water.
- Take a scrubbing brush and scrub the whole mattress so that it removes the bedbugs and their eggs. Make sure not to scrub too hard because it can damage your mattress.
- After this, vacuum the whole area thoroughly. Vacuum the whole room if it is possible because bed bugs are so quick to change their place without getting in anyone’s notice.
- Now put the vacuum cleaner’s bag in a plastic bag and take it to the garbage outside the home.
- Encase your mattress in a zipped cover or a plastic mattress protector. Bed bugs have a life of about one year. So keep them for one year to make sure all the bugs inside the mattress are dead.
- Or you can clean your mattress and bed things with bed bugs removal which is easily available in the market. And make sure that the label says that “you can use them for bedding”.
- Repair your walls if the plaster gets cracks or if you have a glue wallpaper, repair its turned area because these places are easier to hide for bed bugs.
- If you think buying a new mattress can make easier to get rid of bed bugs, then you are wrong. Bed bugs present in another area of the house can infest your new mattress too. So it is better to remove the bed bugs from home.
