Bedbugs in the house - it is an alarming signal for urgent and urgent action. In no case can not tolerate them, wait for a favorable moment to fight, and even more so - expect that they will disappear by themselves. Every day their number will grow, and bites at night will more and more resemble a nightmare.
Fighting bed bugs at home is a rather laborious process, but almost always quick. With the help of modern insecticides you can fit the whole procedure in one day, during which no one should be in the apartment. But before getting rid of bedbugs at home, you need to make sure that the neighbors do not have them. All the same remove bedbugs much simpler than keeping the apartment clean from them after that (they can easily move into a dwelling from their neighbors).
Ways to deal with bedbugs at home
The range of means by which the destruction of bedbugs at home is carried out today is quite wide. Currently known methods fight bedbugs divided into several groups:
- physical
- chemical
- folk (traditional)
- call special services.
The use of certain means is always the result of the choice of the owner and occupants of a particular room, their financial situation, and is also determined by a number of specific circumstances.
If we consider the first factor - the cost of destruction apartment bugsthen the challenge of professional services is significantly more expensive than independent actions. But sanitary services provide guaranteed expulsion of bedbugs from the premises.
In general, self-excretion of bedbugs at home is carried out in almost the same way as its specialized version. In this case, the person himself determines the size of the treated surface. In some cases, processing one sofa will be enough to get the desired result. Such an event is most advisable with a low infestation of an apartment with bedbugs or with a very small area of the room.
Also, the decisive factor in choosing such a way of dealing with bed bugs at home can be limited family budget or too high a cost of specialized services in a particular city.
In any case, whatever method of destruction of bedbugs at home is chosen, it should be remembered that chemical insecticides are poisonous to humans and can cause a number of allergic reactions in his body. There are frequent cases of severe poisoning when improper use of special preparations and violation of safety precautions when working with them. In no case of this kind of action can not be carried out by people prone to allergic manifestations, children, pregnant or nursing women.
How to get rid of bedbugs with chemicals?
Before you get rid of bed bugs at home, you need to remember the following:
- any person conducting activities aimed at the destruction of small bloodsuckers, must use rubber gloves and a cotton-gauze bandage to protect his hands and respiratory tract from chemicals that are poisonous not only for apartment bugs, but also for himself;
- All manipulations are best carried out in sufficiently closed clothing (for example, in a tracksuit), which leaves as little open skin as possible;
- it is best to tie a scarf or wear some other headdress on your head;
- after the treatment of the apartment, it is necessary to go out into the fresh air, wash hands and face thoroughly with soap and water and change “work” clothes.
Poison bugs at home today, you can use different tools:
- Executioner (quite effective, but has a smell)
- GET (effective odorless)
- Raid (aerosol)
- Riapan
- Neopin
- Insect Dibrofin
- Carbosol
- Foxide
- Forsyth (strong smell, known cases of poisoning).
At the same time, there are preparations of domestic production and many foreign funds. Diversity concerns not only the names of drugs, but also their forms (aerosol, emulsion, solution, gel, solid) and composition: in different media, the main active substance may be Malathion, Dichlorvos, various pyrethroids or organophosphorus compounds. The latter, especially those representatives who have a low toxicity threshold, are used most often today because they destroy bugs very quickly, but within a short time they break up and cease to be dangerous.An apartment treated with pyrethroids and phosphorus-containing preparations becomes suitable for human life within a day or two after treatment.
It is necessary to carefully choose the means by which to remove bedbugs at home: long-used drugs, especially in the form of aerosols, may today be ineffective due to the fact that bedbugs develop resistant resistance to them.
On a note
An example of a highly effective drug to which resistance does not develop in bedbugs is GEKTOR against bed bugs. Simply put, this drug will kill even those parasites that can not be destroyed by standard "chemistry".
The reason for this high efficacy of the drug lies in the specific mechanism of action: insects are destroyed, in fact, physically - due to hydrophilic silica powder getting onto their body, which literally sucks water from the parasites, leading to their dehydration and early death.
Folk remedies in the fight against bedbugs
Among the ways to destroy bed bugs in the home there is a considerable number of those used by our ancestors before the release of synthetic insecticides.
The best known of these tools are turpentine, kerosene, denatured alcohol, cresol and vinegar. Each of them in pure form or as part of complex solutions can be applied to infected or suspected habitats of bedbugs in an apartment daily for a long period of time.
In this mixture of kerosene and turpentine with the addition of naphthalene or camphor, can be used for processing the nooks of wooden furniture, floors and baseboards. In this case, it is necessary to use not rubber, but special polyethylene (as for hair-dyeing) gloves or bags. This is necessary because these substances simply corrode thin rubber products.
However, upholstered furniture (sofas, beds, armchairs) and carpets can be ruined by such means, since their oily base will leave stains and stains and will not change the colors of the upholstery. Solutions of denatured alcohol (technical alcohol), pure ethyl alcohol, or acetic acid (edible vinegar or acetic essence) are usually used to treat the fabric surface. For example, 5 grams of naphthalene is dissolved in a glass of denatured alcohol, which, if it is not present, can be replaced with 70% ethyl alcohol.
In any case, the processed apartment will have to leave for some time, optimally - at night, or at least 6-8 hours. The pungent smell of these products will not let you fall asleep anyway
Another "odorous", but recently less effective way to destroy bed bugs in the home, is the use of herbs such as wormwood and tansy. It is believed that the smell of these plants deter uninvited tenants. Their aroma is really unpleasant and sharp. But in order to exude it, the herbs must be fresh, and it does not last long. Therefore, a small period of time the smell will still scare away bedbugs, without killing them and absolutely not interfering with their reproduction. That is why herbs are most often used in tandem with other methods of baiting room bugs or for preventing their entry into the room.
In any case, folk remedies are usually the least effective of all. And rely on the complete removal of bedbugs at home with their help is not worth it.
Temperature treatment
Unlike most domestic parasites, house bugs can exist in a fairly wide range of temperatures.These parasites are sufficiently resistant to low temperatures, withstanding a short-term drop in temperature to minus 20.aboutWITH.
However, if the invasion of bedbugs into the apartment occurred in the winter, with a significant minus outside the window (closer to minus 30-35 aboutC), individual pieces of furniture (mattresses, shelves, chairs, tables) can be held for several hours on the street and frozen. However, the threat of re-emergence of bedbugs in your apartment from such procedures will continue. You can freeze the whole apartment, leaving the windows open for a day or two. However, such measures may lead to disruption of plumbing systems.
Heating will destroy the bugs much faster, but not everything that is in the apartment can be processed using high temperatures - from +50aboutC and above. Nevertheless, most of the furniture and places of potential accumulation of bedbugs can be treated with dry heat or steam, and it is this treatment that is considered the most effective today. For its implementation should call sanitary services. Their employees for the destruction of bedbugs use industrial hair dryers, steam generators and special irradiators.
As the temperature rises, the exposure time is reduced, and at plus 100aboutSince it is about 40-60 minutes. With this treatment, even the eggs of apartment bugs, which are considered the most resistant to baiting, are killed.
A good option for thermal processing of things, bedding and carpets in the summer is the car. In it you need to put all these things, close the windows and leave in the sun for a day. If the cabin temperature rises above 50aboutC, all the bugs in the treated things will die within hours.
Call specialized services
Often, firms specializing in the treatment of apartments, carry out the removal of bugs at a time, regardless of the size of the processed premises. Usually, in case of detection of apartment bugs after such processing, the conscientious service gives a guarantee for the free carrying out of repeated procedures.
One disadvantage of this method of dealing with apartment bugs is the complete isolation of the room for the period of exposure to an insecticide: usually 6-7 hours. During this period of time, all its warm-blooded inhabitants should be evacuated from the apartment, dishes and tableware, and personal hygiene items should be tightly packed.
A separate question is the choice of the company for ordering the processing room. Representatives of the relevant reliable organization will inspect the premises to be treated before setting a price or starting to use any insecticide. They will also be provided with a written report on the inspection and a plan of action for preparing the room for sanitation. The company's specialist should clarify the presence in the treated apartment of people suffering from allergies, children, the elderly, that is, representatives of those groups of the population for whom contact with even a small amount of insecticide can be especially dangerous. In the future, experts will provide the customer with information about how to prevent the infection of a home by apartment bugs.
The main key to success in the fight against bedbugs is speed and totality. The earlier the persecution of bedbugs begins and the more fully the apartment is processed, the greater will be the likelihood that the bugs of the owners will not be disturbed anymore. Therefore, any unexpected bites at night should be treated carefully and if you suspect bedbugs as soon as possible, sound the alarm.
If you decide to deal with bedbugs on your own, when choosing a tool, pay attention not only to its effectiveness, but also to other important consumer characteristics. First of all - for safety for humans and for the absence of a strong unpleasant odor (it happens that after processing insects really die, but it’s simply impossible to live in an apartment for a couple of months because of a strong smell).
For example, if the sofa is treated with Karbofos, then it can still keep an unpleasant "aroma" for a long time, and if you use modern micro-encapsulated bed bug GET, then you practically will not feel a smell even directly when processing.
Successes you in the fight with parasites!

Once I found a couple of months dead and didn’t pay attention,but now she has looked narrowly, and they are there alone, now two are sitting there. Bites are not strong yet, quickly heal, and in the morning you forget that itching at night. And today I already give up, tomorrow the child "armpit" and to the parents. I'm going to poison Fufanon, I used to help when I lived in another apartment.

I just have my hands down. And he himself was hounding, and he called in specialists three times, and most importantly, he made repairs and threw out almost all the furniture, and all this was in a rented apartment. The result is zero, a month or two, and they appear again. I almost do not bite, but my wife just eat. At night, we get up five times and kill these reptiles with our hands. We have to move out, but it’s too low rent, where I’ll still find one. So we endure the second year.
Dichlorvos does not help, I have also been struggling for over a year.
Everything is useless, bugs live 150 years.
But without food they live only 3 months.
No, they live without food for 18 months! They hibernate (anabiosis) and wait for the arrival of a person.
I twice applied to the services, different, none of them helped.So far, my advice: get a steam cleaner, you have to work hard, steaming every centimeter in an apartment for a few seconds, all nooks, especially in places where you sleep. Some cook, but most of them with their hands, they run away, they feel the heat ... Let's see, I destroyed them or not ...
Bedbugs live with us for about 6 months. They bit me, mom, dad, little sister. They threw out a sofa, an armchair and a bed with a mattress - we sleep and sit on the floor. 4 times they called the special services, poisoned themselves, and, strictly speaking, not only bugs, but also we were poisoned. All the neighbors say that nobody has anything. The chairman does nothing. What to do?
We got bugs a month ago, mostly they still bite me. What I do not know, maybe tell me?
We have such a problem, karbofos or dust helps for half a year. I spread vigorously, per liter, and pshikayu ceiling, wallpaper joints, baseboards and all.
Perhaps I will tell my balalaika. We have a room in a communal in the center of St. Petersburg. They passed it alone, you moved out after 3 months, said that they were eaten by bugs.They poisoned them, dismantled all the furniture and destroyed the eggs, moved into the hostel to live for the period of persecution. But nothing helped. The room was without repair, the wallpaper had long since moved away from the walls (there they lived behind them). Parquet is also old.
As a result, EVERYTHING that was in the room, I threw away, ordered a gazelle to take away furniture, books, tables, etc. After that, the wallpaper was torn off and a pest control was performed. Then they made a face lift and a YEAR (!) Nobody lived there. As you know, bugs do not live where there is nothing to eat, that is, where there are no people, but they can fall into anabiosis and stay in it for a very long time. So, new tenants drove in, and a month later they moved out without saying anything and without warning (they didn’t know that there were bugs in the room before). They slept on the floor, bedding a thick mattress. When I came into the room after them, I saw an oilcloth on the floor and a bug was crawling along it. Everything immediately became clear to me.
During the repair, the parquet was not replaced, but only varnished. After another half a year, I removed the parquet and threw it away and conducted a pest control. After that, ordered to lay a laminate. To do this, first put the chipboard and all the joints are filled with foam, bugs love to live in the joints (this was told to me by an exterminator).
And now I occasionally spend the night in this room, there is not much furniture there yet. If anything, bedbugs love wood, and my cot is metal. While I did not see them and bites, too, pah-pah-pah. Thus, in order to defeat them, we need a global operation.
Oh, as my wife and I are already tired of fighting with these bugs. We poison with Dichlorvos, we inject every corner and crack. Half a year there, then again the same procedure, and all because of the neighbors. All excuse that they say no. Already he offered a means to buy them. Since I know that everyone spends on alcohol. Horror.
Guys, if you have a flat road, then you should do everything possible to get rid of these reptiles!
I want to share my story, how I won them. I have already left my comment about the fact that the hands just drop, and the result is zero. So, what I have is: the apartment is old, the neighbors are “very nice people,” first floor. The advice is very simple: weekly general cleaning. My floor with the addition of bleach, also wipe with this water everything that you can wipe. All sofas and wardrobes also move to wipe the floor, especially around the bed. Then I process the baseboards, trim and sofas in the folds.Where I used to notice their nests - The raptor for bedbugs, sold in any store. I process not much, so, I walked once. In general, one bottle for a two-room apartment is enough for two cleaning. It takes almost a day to do everything, but it's worth it. Now the result - I find every cleaning under the sofas of dead or half-dead bugs. I don’t know where they come from, but the main thing is that they cannot reach us. For two months my wife has been sleeping peacefully, and so have I. Good luck to everyone, do not give up.
Hello everyone, I am tired of these freaks, how to kill them all in a three-room apartment? The whole hut in the bedbugs, they are everywhere: in the first room, and in the second, and in the third. In the third room, my brother and grandfather are sleeping - he has all the walls covered in blood from bedbugs. Please help me get rid of them.
Thanks for the advice.
We wound up in a studio apartment under the sofa and under the bed. I sleep on a cot literally a meter from the sofa, and no one bites me. How to get rid of them, it is unrealistic?
Help, how to get rid of bedbugs? These freaks did not die even after processing - invited the exterminator. Itself washed floors with chlorine, vinegar, diesel fuel. I rented a 1-room apartment with my husband.Hands down, every night is a nightmare. Bite only me. From stress and fear already half the night do not fall asleep. And in the morning to work. What to do, help ...
It's just a living hell ... A couple of months ago, severe itching and biting began, the dermatologist's tests showed a “linen tick”, and last night after a strong backbone, he found a bug on himself, and realized that she was in complete priest. For some reason they only bite me, now there is a struggle.
For 2 weeks I did not understand why the child had acne incomprehensible, until one night she woke up and turned on the light: on the child there was an attack of these creatures. Caught wet wipes, how much could. The blood was from them, as if the chicken had been chopped. Until 4 in the morning, I watched and guarded the child to sleep, tried to get in, but ... Tomorrow we will be talking with dichlorvos and we will communicate in full!
Look at the experts
Hello. The bugs are already the third year, they were actually disposed of with hand chemistry. Does not help. I am a child (13 years old), saying that I need to call the SES, my parents say it will not help. Maybe you know a good service in the Moscow region, closer to Noginsk, and then dad is fine, but I can not sleep. I sit on a chair at night, I'm afraid to go to bed ... They bite!
Hello. We also have bugs, appeared 3 weeks ago. They poisoned karbofos and alatars, did not help. In the ottoman there, but still crawling from the ottoman. We threw out the furniture, again we are going to poison. Mix bleach and dust, see what happens.
Dichlorvos, vinegar, executioner, dust, etc. do not help. We have been fighting for more than a year. The service also did not help, alas, and the apartment has its own. Soon I will have a child, and I do not know what to do ...
And I have the same problem as everyone else. Here the other day I am moving from an apartment to a house. Probably, experts call.
We seem to be just the beginning. There is still no month, as my husband and I began to itch, but the child did not. We found out last night, turning on the light, that these are bedbugs. I almost went crazy. In the evening, the entire sofa was disassembled, treated with vinegar and small “Masha”. If again there will be the same night, I don’t know at all, I’ve been reading here. What to do? I realized that there was only one way out - I was afraid to move out, for the child. Before that, they had fought with cockroaches for a couple of months, corroded them, now these creatures. Kick some.
They say there are still alternative methods. Well, for example, ask for help from the brownie.You give him milk in a saucer and a request to cleanse your house of "aliens", and he will give you "all evil spirits out of the house." Taken from an Internet. Good luck to all.
We bought an apartment with a friend, made repairs, everything is super, we have been living for a year. It seems that everything is fine, and then bam - bugs appeared. I do not know why, from where and so on. They took a steam generator from my parents and started killing them in black) For two weeks or two we sleep well, then the same procedure again. Most found only 2 or 3 of all time, and so the little thing usually. Themselves are not squeamish, but it is also somehow unpleasant to fall asleep and think that someone will drink your krovushka from 3 to 7 am 🙂
I'm terrified, already half a year can not get rid of these creatures. Called SES for 4000 thousand, did not help. Then Geradez - the same trouble.
How to get rid of bedbugs? Please help two little children.
About 5 days ago, in the middle of the night, I woke up with a hand that was itching, then a shoulder and back. I look in the morning - my son is scratching his hand. At first, I thought that we were allergic: I burned with iodine and took a hot bath. It seems they stopped scratching, but my boyfriend arrived and for a couple of nights he was bitten so badly that it was impossible to look at him.Traces such as nettle stung. A neighbor said that we have bed bugs. I was terrified, hunted with dichlorvos, I found two. What to do? I have two sons. Okay, I am, but I feel sorry for them ...
Now I sleep in the bathroom.
In our house, the Tajiks rented an apartment, they did not know the troubles, and these comrades brought in cockroaches and bedbugs. This is just pipets.
Daughters friend brought bedbugs, he went to visit her, talked. And then we all discovered that bed bugs settled in all our sleeping places. Everyone was crazy, forbidden to communicate with him. The house is private. Advise a good tool and method.
At some point, I found them and read about them, what a nightmare! They are so tenacious creatures, of course, to feed with blood - they will be immortal! We live in a five-room apartment, three years ago I didn’t enter the room with the baby for five days: I bought karbofos, all the wallpaper, the ceiling was torn off, I threw out the sofa (it was a pity, I hadn’t paid the loan yet). Well, linoleum tore off, in a word, the empty bare room remained, and I pshikal everything, even the walls)) Five days with the window and door closed - I kept them there. Stink, of course, was ... All bedding was washed, clothes at 60-95 degrees.Out! In other rooms, the brother used some expensive aerosol, said he did not bite anymore. Three years have passed. For a week I noticed familiar bites on me and my son. Oh god, are they here again, are they immortal or what? They rebelled, they got out, sat with a flashlight catching them. And today caught the little ones, my God, I will not dare to do it anymore. I just got up on my feet during these three years, and these creatures are eternal and endless! I'll try the hangman. Will the result - no idea ...
Nothing useful. So much water. No specifics. You do not know how to work.
Faced the same situation: an apartment remained from the grandmother, moved for a while, and here this horror. I never would have thought. It is necessary to throw out all, process, do major repairs. How much time and money, oh my gosh! And as evil there is no money yet ...
The trouble, from the neighbors go - they are on the seventh, and the bugs are already from the third floor to the ninth lute. We must evict such neighbors along with their friends. Fight useless, four-room apartment. How many times have tried to withdraw, bestolku. It is necessary to derive neighbors.
Faced with these creatures. He moved to a room in a hostel, a couple of months noticed the bites. Google made it clear that I was dealing with bedbugs. My algorithm of actions was as follows: all the old furniture from the old owners to hell was dumped; Then he went to the SES, gave two bottles - spread them more thickly and processed them through a spray bottle. No, no way, - I filled it, I filled it all with this tool, having previously sealed all the gaps on the windows with tape. He left the room, sealed the gap under and above the door. Four hours later, he came back, cleaned up the corpses, washed everything with soap, aired. New wallpaper stuck, a little added to the glue of this chemical garbage. Later I lived there for a year, not a single bite.
We also have these creatures 3 months ago. Every day my wife and I vacuumed the apartment 3 times and it helped.
We got bugs about 6 months ago. Eat, bastards, at night! Everyone tried, but nothing helps. What to do? We called specialists and we poured the floors with vinegar and boiling water. It seems to disappear for a while, and later appear again. Help! I want to burn everything nafig! ((
And karbofos saved me. Only I did not pshikala, as it is written in the instructions, but in a two-liter bottle I used to dilute, I made 3 holes in the cork and filled in all the sofas, chairs, pillows, carpets, cabinets, chairs. In short, everything. And now a year has passed - pah-pah, no. Sleep well, grace.
First, you need patience, patience and patience again.
1. Type in a rubber pear strong vinegar and pour into all the cracks. Crawl right away, pour another - die before our eyes.
2. Cover all the gaps in the sofa (inside) with water-based paint.
Victory will come, though not immediately!
Once I heard from a friend that they should be burned - well, at least a few pieces to catch and burn alive with matches in the same room where they live. He says that when burning they make a cry or scream that their own relatives hear, and then they disappear. Guys, try someone and accomplish your goal. And then I see so much suffering.
Also there was trouble with bedbugs. A large three-room apartment, and then bedbugs crawled from their neighbors. I had to throw away some furniture and make repairs, and before that they worked all the kukaraches (by the way, an inexpensive but effective tool).After that, the funds (processed only once) have no bugs for 10 years, and the neighbors still have them.
I want to share my experience in dealing with this scourge, especially since this experience can really come in handy. In winter, I began to notice that wounds of an incomprehensible nature began to appear on the body (if it were in the summer, it could have been attributed to ordinary dacha-bloodsucking insects), but at first did not attach much importance to it. In short, when they discovered the bugs themselves, they had already settled all over the couch, flooded the baseboards and the wall around it, and due to the lack of space, they were so dormant that they spent the night with us already under the usual sheet without going anywhere. There was a state of amazement at how they did not know how to fight, and the situation was complicated by the presence of a one-year-old child and the inability to move somewhere temporarily after the persecution. Therefore, they immediately refused the undertaking with the on-call firm, as there was no confidence in the harmlessness of the sprayed preparations. I had to look for environmental methods.
At one of the forums read about the facility "BlokhNET" for pets. Allegedly, even though he was from fleas, someone brought them and absolutely harmless to himself (as it is assumed that you use it directly on the hair of domestic animals).I bought a bottle, sprayed it on the sofa, the stench was terrible, it did not erode for several days. Bedbugs do sometimes die, but I would say that they rather avoided those places where it was napshkano by this means than actually died from it. Using several bottles, we decided to refuse it.
After that, I came across information that bugs do not tolerate steam. I bought a karcher sc 1 steam cleaner. A small device with a measuring cup and a container inside (similar to a thermos bottle) that you fill with water and plug into an outlet. One “charge” is heated for 5 minutes. The price is more than liberal for a new one, and we took it to Avito for almost a penny. After that, walk on the sofa, of course, consistently, turning and passing through all the internal surfaces and cracks. The bugs are afraid of steam, like fire, they immediately try to get out of all the cracks, they cook for a few seconds (both themselves and their eggs), and those who did not have time to cook, are finished by hand. A very effective thing, and brought them gradually themselves, without any chemistry. From 1 to 3 such charges of a miracle device went to the sofa. But the process is, of course, laborious and consistent, not for the lazy, suggesting a gradual reduction in the population (as a certain percentage of survivors after the cleansing may remain).The best is to process it first daily, and once every few days, when units remain.
A few more notes:
1. The biggest weakness of bedbugs is that they are forced to keep closer to the person. They will never settle down in a remote closet in your apartment for no reason (unlike moths) - they have nothing to do there. No wonder he called bedbug. Those. if they share with you, they will keep the bed where the person is sleeping, and move to the nearest surface only if the colony grows and there is a shortage of space. We have from several sofas and chairs, they were only on one, where we slept directly.
2. Bedbugs love secluded places on the couch. True, it is also worth working on flat surfaces (in order to destroy eggs), but special attention should be paid to the slots and joints of two surfaces (such as seams on furniture and lightning) - this is where they like to slaughter and rest after the meal, because they feel safe.
Good luck! I hope that my advice will help someone in the fight against this infection!
