In order to control hands with bugs, no matter how long it may seem, they should not be lowered: bed bugs these are only parasitic insects, and they have their weaknesses. They are vulnerable. Even if you do not take into account the powerful insecticides and supernovae of scientists aimed at the rapid destruction of these parasites, you can immediately give a list of what bugs are afraid of, and then choose from this list those tools that could be most effectively used in the fight against these bloodsuckers in normal living conditions.
Important!
It is necessary to understand that even if a bed bug is afraid of this or that substance or factor, it does not mean at all that they will perish from the same substance. As a rule, it is rational to use such repellents in order to stretch a few days before room treatment or to prevent parasites from entering the house.
Too high and too cold
Optimum temperature conditions for life, nutrition and breeding bedbugs - from 20 ° С to 30 ° С. Temperatures ranging from 10 ° C to 20 ° C and from 30 ° C to 35 ° C are already uncomfortable, but tolerable for parasites. They do not try to avoid places with such a climate, but practically can not normally reproduce in these conditions.
But the constantly operating temperatures below 10 ° C and above 35 ° C force the parasites to look for new places to live. Although if during the day the temperature regime changes, they can “put up with it” with it.
It is interesting
Very large natural populations of bed bugs were found in the deep caves of Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. Here insects parasitize bats. The temperature in such caves almost never rises above 15-16 ° C, but it seems that this suits blood suckers completely.
Conclusion: in order to force the parasites accustomed to comfort to run out of the house, it must either be cooled for a long time below 10 ° C, or heated to a constant 38-39 ° C.
Bright light
Bed bugs are afraid of light. These are strictly nocturnal insects, the peak of which falls at 3-7 o'clock in the morning. Sharply turned on in the room light or raised mattress causes them to scatter in panic.
However, it is difficult to practice this insect fear in practice: if they find a reliable dark place behind the plinths, it will be very difficult to frighten them with light.
Feedback
“When we called the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station, we asked the guys if the bugs were afraid of light. They told us that bugs are generally afraid of being in the light, and it is very difficult to find an insect in the afternoon. Then the guys started raising mattresses and carpets and I was terrified: there were thousands of bedbugs and larvae, so small and nasty! They all quickly fled from the light ... "

Smells of wormwood and tansy
The main folk recipes for scaring bloodsuckers are based on the fact that bugs do not like the smell of wormwood, tansy and some other plants.
Wormwood - the most famous herb for bedbugs. To combat parasites are usually laid out the brooms of their dry plants under the beds and other furniture. For at least a few days, such measures give results.
However, bugs are afraid of wormwood only until they are very hungry: on the third or fourth day, even fresh branches of grass will not keep them from attacking.
It is interesting
In search of food and building their own picture of the world, bed bugs mainly use the sense of smell.Their sight and hearing are less important for them, and therefore strong smells scare away these parasites better than sounds and light.
With tansy, the situation is similar.
As a rule, it is most reasonable to use these herbs not to repel insects, but to create aromatic barriers for their entry into the room: dry branches are placed in ventilation boxes and on balconies near windows. Random "vagrants" from neighboring apartments, having encountered such a barrier, are likely to unfold.

“In general, bugs overcame us after the holidays. I do not know where they came from, but on the very first night after their return they seized us. And in all the rooms, with my husband and children. We called the exterminators, but they could only come on a working day, and we had to endure for three days. The guys advised us to use some kind of folk remedy for these days. I went to the bazaar, asked the attendants, what kind of grass are bugs afraid of. They said that tansy and wormwood. I bought that tansy, laid it out under the beds - and indeed, for three nights we did not touch these nastiness. As the wrestling guys said later, this is the deadline - then the grass ceases to act. And it’s good that the bugs didn’t start up in the bed, but were mostly sitting on the carpet on the wall.But just on the fourth day we were all poisoned by them. ”

Traditionally, birch branches are also used in villages against bed bugs. However, there is no serious evidence that such a tool helps.
Perfume Fragrances
It has been known since the Middle Ages that bugs are afraid of perfumes. Notable grandees and ladies in France, Italy and Great Britain took aromatic baths before bedtime, and then literally poured perfume and colognes from head to toe to protect themselves from bloodsuckers.
Indeed, bugs do not like the pronounced smells of perfumes, regardless of their quality. Moreover, the sharper the smell is, the more unpleasant it is for parasites.
Nevertheless, insects may well overcome their dislike for severe hunger, and within two or three days the hunger strike will be quite active in biting the scented sleeping person.
Chemistry: kerosene, denatured alcohol, turpentine, acetone, vinegar
But among these means there are really reliable repellents (the so-called insect repellent agents).
For example, bed bugs are afraid of the smell of ammonia. And the more distinct the smell, the less attractive the room for insects.Therefore, as a preventive measure for the penetration of parasites into the house, ammonia should be added to a bucket of water when washing floors. The indicator of reliability here will be the sense of smell of the person himself: if after cleaning the apartment there is a smell of ammonia, the bugs here will definitely be uncomfortable.
Just do not like bugs and the following smells:
- denatured alcohol
- kerosene
- vinegar
- acetone
- turpentine.
None of these substances kill the parasites directly by their smell. But repellents from them are excellent with the same use as that of ammonia.
For example, even after dipping in vinegar (table, 9%), the insect will remain alive. But usually the bugs do not tolerate the smell of any vinegar, and if at least one drop of it is placed in the center of the place chosen by parasites, they will not appear in this nest in the coming weeks.

“My grandfather taught me how to poison turf bugs, so I used all my youth in this way. In the army, the barracks cleaned with him, already earned time off. Then, at the school in a hostel, they were brought out with the same turpentine. Just take it undiluted and splash under the bed and in all corners. I even wanted to sprinkle them in a new apartment, but my wife said that she would leave me if I did.I had to buy some newfangled substance in a can. It’s also an effective thing, but in comparison with turpentine it’s expensive. ”
Michael, Mytishchi
The minus of all these means is that for a person their smells create equally unbearable conditions, and it is also extremely difficult to live in such a shelter from bugs.
Debunk the myths: why aren't they afraid of bugs?
In contrast to the really scary means for bedbugs, there are also things that are considered by the broad masses scaring bedbugs, but which the parasites actually treat with complete indifference.
These include:
- Ultrasound - as shown by special studies, the sounds of high frequency do not affect the behavior of bedbugs
- water with salt or soda, which craftsmen advise doing wet cleaning, does not scare parasites at all
- magnetic resonance field. The creators of ultrasound emitters switched to it when more and more users began to convince themselves of the uselessness of the latter. The magnetic field affects the bugs as well as people: in order to eject them from the house with the help of a radiator, you need such a powerful radiation, which a person cannot stand.
And, of course, various conspiracies, prayers, sayings and jokes, which are still used in particularly deep provinces, will be completely useless in the fight against bed bugs. As long as they try to fight with parasites in such obviously senseless ways, they will flourish and delight a person with their neighborhood and unlimited appetite.

We have a lot of bedbugs, and do not know how to get rid of them, tell me.
Scatter from the "Dichlorvos". Very effective "Masha" and a special syringe (I forgot the name - is sold there). Handle baseboards, perimeters of the ceiling, doors, windows, legs of furniture. The effectiveness of three or four years, but it is better to do prevention once a year.
We, too, had a lot, saving ourselves with a building hairdryer, when they hit them, they die immediately, it has become less now.
I have bugs, how can they survive from the apartment? I just have two small children.
They eat bugles, all bitten, help. How to cope with them? You are welcome.
SES call.
If the bugs in the whole house, then no SES will not help. I hound every two weeks and all the time I change drugs. And even if I don’t already find it, I still water it. Straight epidemic in St. Petersburg.
I am sure that there are no bedbugs in Tajikistan and Turkmenistan ... This is nonsense, I was there.
Because the Tajiks brought them to us in Russia. So the whole thing is in the emigrants.
Are you really something? In Tajikistan in the summer to +50 degrees will be. And bugs, even by 23, can no longer reproduce.
Bedbug eggs survive at temperatures up to 100 degrees. And the bugs themselves, when the temperature rises or falls, quietly hibernate and are activated in a pleasant climate.
Sorry, but in Tajikistan there are no insects like bugs. This is a lot in Russia, no need to blame the migrants in vain.
Dear SEM, in Turkmenistan dofiga bedbugs.
I came to Peter and saw what the bugs are. I have not seen these creatures before.
And where there are no bedbugs, tell me? Worldwide bugs, bedbugs have taken over the world ...
And we have, do not give to live, all have stress.
Yes, in Tajikistan there are definitely no bedbugs, as there is dryness, and in St. Petersburg there is a lot of humidity due to the weather. And as you know, bugs appear due to humidity, I myself am from Tajikistan and did not know about bugs, as I had never seen.
I was born and raised in South Kazakhstan.And I learned about the existence of scabies and bedbugs, as well as about various horrible and nightmarish animal diseases in Russia only ... No need to blame outsiders)) Only in Russia there is a favorable environment for any infection.
I lived in Uzbekistan for 20 years and did not know and did not see bedbugs. I met them in Vladivostok)) And more than once. For the first time from their bites, I got under the drip. I was all bitten.
They are in bulk in China
They have bugs - a delicacy.
We also have bugs, but after when we poured boiling water (it helps a lot), they exploded and spattered the baseboards.
How to destroy them, tell me? In the new apartment, in the sofa. I do not sleep at night, depression, we itch, even if they do not bite. Children were bitten, the Sanitary and Epidemiological Station came - they still walk ((
Get cockroaches
Hello, and help cockroaches? Tell me please.
Not
I have three children, two months can not get rid of bedbugs. They advised to get cockroaches - aha, now they live like a family, together, the zoo has become.They advised dichlorvos, so they are no longer afraid of him, everyone eats exactly. They advised to smear with alcohol - bite. I already left everything out of the house. The only thing that saves at the moment is wormwood, scattered on the floor. And a cot - they are afraid of iron, can not climb. They love wood. Buy a bed with iron legs high and change more often clean bedding. So you save yourself from bites at night, they can not get you. And so sleep year, they will die of hunger.
Lies that they are afraid of iron. We had an iron bed and an iron mesh, you hit it on it - they just pour in heaps.
They will never die of hunger, rubbish! Quietly climb to the ceiling and start jumping on top of you. And if you think that they have died out in your apartment ... I’m saddened, they can go into hibernation and return at any moment in a very large number.
Buy "Hangman".
Cockroaches - this is nonsense! My friends have brought, Ponte no ...
And there will be two problems instead of one. Then it's better than spiders, they are at least predators 🙂
We also have bugs. So angry ... And the cockroaches do not help, we also have them. We deduce already half a year. No results, we suffer with children terribly.
Cypermethrin.
CARBOPHOS! In any household chemicals. Diluting with water, pouring into some kind of sprayer and splashing the whole apartment, including wardrobes, wallpaper, baseboards and all dark places with clothes together. You leave the apartment for a day, after you arrive, you open the windows and ... Forgot about them. I know from personal experience.
Bullshit
I water the bedbugs for months: furniture, baseboards, wardrobes, beds, clothes. It became less.
This is a stinky garbage ... How, from the clothes, the stench is wild after all!
Caused SES twice, no sense, biting bastards, unpleasant. Sorry for the child, all bitten, I do not know what to poison.
Probably, the house is old and there is a lot of moisture, mold, and such conditions for them is paradise. No SES will not help, I know from my own experience.
In Tajikistan, there were no bugs. Arriving here, I learned that there are bugs. I live in a dorm and already tired of starving them.
They sifted with dichlorvos and didn’t spend the night at home, they came in a couple of days with karbofos - they turned the sofa over, and there were a hundred of them! And straight from the syringe in them! And they, poor things, all paws up ... They closed the windows, in a week we will repeat - all the friends assured that everything would work out. I do not even know.
It's a shame that such bastards are bred. It seems, and repairs were made everywhere - they were not seen anywhere, and the furniture is new. But it still appeared. We still have 11 months for the child, always shuddering and crying at night, but I didn’t understand what was going on ... Well, bastards, the child was bitten. Including me, but my husband doesn't care - his skin is thick.
Means the executioner, nothing else will help you.
Means containing chlorine or dust, as well as treatment with boiling water or steam.
Karbofos - this is garbage, they have long been accustomed to it, immunity is formed on him, he does not take them ... Tested on personal experience, 2 times caused various services (private traders), bugs even that. Apparently, it was necessary to do re-processing after a couple of weeks, we rejoiced early, thought that one would be enough, since they said that they did not seem to tell you that they are.They began to make repairs, they nafig ripped off everything, old wallpaper (in some places were torn), suspended ceiling. By the way, between seams too sat a little, a plinth. In general, it was advised to mix the karbofos with the glue of the wallpaper with glue, but there is no point. Now we are thinking of throwing out an old sofa, buying a new one and reapplying it, but contacting any other service.
Kerosene, vinegar, ammonia, tansy, wormwood - this is all, of course, good, but for a while, because they are afraid of smells, but they do not die of it ... Normal chemistry is needed here. So, they bought, damn it, a room in a hostel. And SES in our city has not been doing this for a long time, and they said that they gave everything into the hands of private commercial organizations. They are engaged in another, go to large enterprises, offices, etc. Why do they need hut ... And about some of the comments written above - well, it really smiled)) Everyone has such clean, prosperous countries, and they come to live in a dirty, bad Russia. And then they complain that they don’t like them so much - so learn to honor and respect the people and the country where you came for, and not write all sorts of nasty things for it ... But no, you’re home, comrades, home!
Yeah, and bedbugs do not forget their)
They say that carbide helps.
They say ants destroy them. It is true, who knows?
We have ants at home, and now there are bugs. We will fight, I do not know just how ((
Fufanon in a double dose, and repeat in two weeks. Calcium carbide also helps.
Hello! These critters are clearly from China, home delivery with furniture, etc. Need to poison twice a week, and so a couple of weeks. Use the TENDER! Dilute the poison in a liter of water and spray the walls, carpets, bed, blanket. There is a hangman powder - you need to wash all clean laundry at 60 ° C, and after drying, fold everything into a vacuum bag. And finally: nothing just does not start, bugs are delivered, so that we buy all previously prepared preparations.
Heat the hut to 65 degrees Celsius with a heat gun.
Recommend the hangman. Sprayed. The next morning came - all dead.
28 years old - and he didn’t know and didn’t see these bugs until he came to Peter) Horror and tin. The psyche suffered damage when you know that when you sleep, you eat some small nasty creatures.
I am from Tajikistan, and nobody knows anything about bugs, because they are not there. Complete nonsense!
She lived in Uzbekistan for 22 years, did not know what bedbugs are. I found out in the very first week when I arrived in New York. Bitten to death. I was in despair, I hated this city. Fought as best she could. Even she painted the apartment herself, dried all the clothes, bought the most expensive items. But not disappeared. I called the special service for $ 500, they helped and saved it. Years later, I have been living in Chicago for 5 years already, I again faced this problem. I called the security service again, but it did not help. Already no strength. So big cities are big problems.
Until the age of 25, I have never seen these insects, and where I have not lived, both in Europe and in Russia. I got acquainted with this species in St. Petersburg when I came to study. Now I am also trying to display in all ways. It turns out that bugs in St. Petersburg are not isolated cases, they are already here, probably, as pets, a sad picture.
Friends, it does not matter where the bugs appeared in St. Petersburg. Fact - the people suffer from this abomination. Conclusion: do not panic and try alternately methods that are advised by friends in adversity. Good luck in the fight against bloodsuckers! And myself too.
Try to spread rags and discs soaked in kerosene everywhere, and moisten them periodically as they dry. Bedbugs do not die, but go, it works well. And in the ventilation holes too, from where they are most likely crawling. They say that also turpentine and ammonia help. Wash for prevention with salds always. Try it - really helps, you will not regret. Cheap, but it works flawlessly.
I want to remind you that in prisons there are only iron beds. Believe that there are no bedbugs?
Tell me, please, bugs are so small, 2 mm, black and light, soft, can you crush them with your finger? Or is it not bedbugs? At night, something bites the child and husband, and I hear something creeping. No cockroaches, private house in the village. There are ants. I observe at night - the ants crawl, but I don’t see if the ants eat them, these small black insects on the baseboards. These small ones also exist in the kitchen, black and white come across in cardboard boxes, are they smeared with a finger - are these bugs? Or bugs have a hard surface like cockroaches? Under the mattress is not in the seams. On the wooden parts of the sofa, on the floor (boards) crawls a couple of such incomprehensible little black soft.I also saw a couple of fleas. Maybe they bite at night ... I found it in a pillowcase and near a shaggy toy. My husband and daughter are allergic to bites. My son doesn’t see bites at all, but the whole sheet is in bloody spots, small spots. Previously, this was not. 2 months something eats us. The neighbor says that these are fleas, it looks like their bites are almost like mosquitoes, redness, swelling. Poison, too, 2 weeks already or more. Neostomazan. I hope these are not bedbugs, not such as in the pictures, not scaly, soft.
And they can be inside wadded mattresses or pillows? There are no signs outside, but something bites.
With high probability you have the bugs. And they love to arrange their nests in mattresses.
They are the most !!!
In Krasnoyarsk, the epidemic is simple, most friends complain (And over a year and a half we hunted down several times. Today we woke up once again. Trouble right! The best effect was from Executioner - two treatments were enough with an interval of ten days, and for about a year there was no one. Today I will go to the store again.
Raid helped me, powerful crap.
Splint plinth dichlorvos (usual, called "odorless dichlorvos"), then plinth the top and bottom of the plaster with small Masha. Further, sleeping places on the bottom and sides, as well as the legs of the beds, are daubed with Masha (thick, about 3 cm). Do not forget to circle around the outlets and cabinets outside. Processing is carried out at the open window. It helps to 100%, and those who write that it is useless to poison - lazy muddy.
If the neighbors are bastards, then do shallow processing on baseboards and outlets every six months.
Buy a steam cleaner, 130 degrees - half a month is enough, but without the stench and chemistry.
I have a hand otparivatel, here's how to treat the sofa for them - I won’t add my mind. Uncomfortable, damn it (tomorrow my husband will come home from work, let's do it). Unsubscribe on effectiveness.
Manual steamer coped with reptiles?
Bedbugs from the neighbors (hostel). Slightly more than a year, appear raids. I process small Masha + dust for the baseboards + sofa and beds with a steam generator + mattress with an iron. A steam generator is a good thing, harmless. It can be used.
I filled the whole room with boiling water, added acetic acid and tea tree oil. She threw out all the furniture, the wallpaper also watered with boiling water. I set fire to the sword A quiet evening and left with the cats for two hours. Ventilated an hour, then began washing. Washed everything at 90 °. Nobody bites, sort of like. After 2 weeks, you need to repeat it again, since this cap does not affect the larvae. And in general, nothing affects them. Before processing, I shook them out of clothes, but at that time we did not understand with my husband - apparently, they were hibernating (they began to attack in crowds after the shift). Good luck to all.
Hello! Has picked up too bugs. I struggle. How come from work, they immediately resorted to me.
I do not know who brought them, but I have been living in St. Petersburg for 30 years and only found out about them this year.
There are bedbugs in Tajikistan. And how…
Comrades, do not you think that these companies throw up bugs that destroy them?
The Executioner helped me, but only for half a year. I tried everything, no sense!
In the suburbs took the Tajiks to work, bedbugs darkness, brought in their bags! And you say that they are not in Tajikistan? Personally, Tajiks say that they are there in bulk. He settled on his first floor at home, tin. I made them pull out all the furniture, they burned everything. Disinfectants arrived, well, we'll see. I will decompose more and wormwood then. Money is not a pity, if only the creatures are dead.
Already had a thought and demolish the house! Family sent to the mother-in-law, I have a little son. I'm mad! I haven’t seen bedbugs in my life, and when specialists began to show their nest — well, words cannot describe it ... Maybe 1000, maybe a million. It is really creepy and scary! I hope for disinfection, I will call it more often now. Tajikistan expelled, better I will work myself. Furniture, probably thousands of 150 thrown. The house is poisoned, I lie in the car, I dream that they will die!
Good luck, friends. In the end, people need to be afraid, and not such boroli бор We will win, I hope!
Cucaracha helped, I bought in the sanitary epidemiological station in my town.
The steamer helped us very well! At full power put and otparili all the furniture. And then they reappeared after spending the night with a relative ... Again the ferry went through - and that’s it, they disappeared.Overnight again, and again these bastards appeared! I realized that it was necessary to fight not with the symptoms, but with the cause. If there is a source of infection around you, then getting rid of bedbugs will only temporarily give an effect, unfortunately ...
I live in Dushanbe. I have a lot of them in my apartment, I don’t know what to do. I have two small children ...
Tell me how to bite bugs? Does it hurt or not? And what they look like. The fact is that I woke up the other day, and the calves are all in cones, itching and bumps on the side, about 5 pieces (about 8-10 mm). Although I did not feel anything. I live 40 years, and I have never come across them. On the Internet I looked, but what's the point. We must learn from people.
