Sofa bug

For domestic bugs, upholstered furniture is a favorite habitat. And not at all because it is dark and warm there - for them these criteria for choosing a home are secondary. Yes, and "sofa bug" - the name is more popular than scientific and professional. All bugs that feed on blood and live in a person’s dwelling belong to the same species and are called bedding, and already the popular rumor gives them the names “sofa”, “home” and others.

Soft first furniture attracts bedbugs because in it insects are closest to the power source - a sleeping person. Therefore, they need to move less around the room and risk being noticed. In addition, between the parts of the sofas, especially the old and very sophisticated, there are many dense joints that are ideal shelters for insects: bugs feel most confident there,where they come into contact with two surfaces and the back and abdomen. In other words, where closely, it is most convenient for them.

And of course, in sofas and beds, bedbugs are warmer, as these items keep the person warm. Not every insect can afford such luxury. Breeding bedbugs from the sofa is often a serious problem: these parasites are sometimes very resistant to chemistry and adverse environmental conditions.

 

Ways to remove bedbugs: sofa specificity

Removing bedbugs from the sofa has its own characteristics in comparison with the removal of insects from the apartment in general.

First of all, you need to make sure that the bugs live only in the sofa, and in other places of the apartment there are none. Usually this happens quite rarely: parasites can even in large quantities than on the couch, hide behind baseboards, in the crevices of the cabinets, under and behind the carpets, but apartment owners find them only on the bed and under it.

If a really thorough check of possible shelter places did not reveal the presence of bedbugs, it makes sense to process only the sofa.

Ways to remove bedbugs from the sofa are few:

  • mechanical destruction, or the simple collection of insects by hand. Extremely inefficient, unpleasant and long process.But the cheapest.
  • heat treatment of the sofa. The best way, because the sofa is mobile. The bugs and their eggs die during the day at a temperature below minus 18 ° C and almost instantly die at a temperature above 50 ° C. Therefore, the sofa can either be taken out for a couple of days on the street in winter, or with the help of special tools or services to heat. Scalding the sofa with boiling water is effective, but after that the sofa takes a long time to dry.
  • chemical treatment of the sofa. There are quite a few such funds on the market, but before process from bedbugs sofa, you need to hold special events in the apartment itself. Some products can be toxic and dangerous for both humans and pets. Therefore, before using them, it is recommended to plan a short-term evacuation of all occupants of the premises, and then carry out the processing of the sofa in accordance with the instructions. The main tools for today are Dichlorvos, Karbofos, Hangman, Perfos, Raptor, Reid, Combat.

Steam sofa treatment

Various folk remedies such as strong smelling herbs or tinctures usually do not give the result. And such strong ones as turpentine, denatured alcohol or a mixture of them with vinegar can permanently spoil the sofa. Of course, they are not applicable if bugs were discovered in a new sofa.

The most effective way has always been and will be the processing of the sofa by the forces of special disinsection services, but the same method is the most expensive. And if the bugs except the sofa did not have time to master other areas of the house, then it would be irrational to call in specialists. It is easier to resort to the help of karbofos or executioner.

 

How bedbugs inhabit couches

You may be wondering where the bugs come from in the couch. The answer is usually quite simple: insects either come from neighbors, or come on clothes, with bags or any equipment from stores or from guests. Once they have drunk blood from a person sleeping on the couch in a new room for them, they do not crawl away, but remain in the crevices of the sofa in order to repeat the meal a few days later.

One female or two or three larvae in a new sofa is enough to have a whole colony here in a few months - the bugs multiply very quickly and grow. It may even give the impression that bedbugs started up in a sofa overnight.Especially among those who are not too sensitive to their bites and did not feel single attacks.

The bugs under the sofa upholstery

Strictly speaking, there are no bugs as such, they just get together and create the impression of an organized group. Here they lay eggs, here they molt, and therefore even without the detection of running insects, it is possible to easily calculate their presence on the sofa according to certain signs.

 

We are looking for bedbugs and find out if they are

Before detecting bedbugs in the sofa, the owner of the apartment can almost always notice other signs of living together with these insects:

  1. Bites. If there are few bedbugs in the sofa, then their bites can be mistaken for mosquitoes. But when the colony grows, abundant defeats in the mornings cannot be confused with anything: they cover even a body that is well wrapped up at night, and among the total number of red dots you can find noticeable “paths” of three or four bites. This is the “handwriting” of the bug, which in one feed prick a person several times.
  2. Excrement. Often they come across under the sofa when cleaning the apartment: small black dots that look like simple pieces of dirt from the street. If they appear regularly in the bedroom, you should be vigilant.
  3. Smell. Not too strong, like the smell of almonds or raspberries.Usually, it begins to be felt well with a large number of bugs, and people who are especially sensitive to smells will feel it quickly.

If the sofa itself is disassembled or the mattress is raised, it will be immediately clear if the bugs are hiding in it. None of the other insects inhabit the beds with such dense colonies. Therefore, when on the lower side of the mattress you can see the hectic movement of small cockroach-like creatures of different sizes, it can be said for sure that there were bugs in the sofa.

A few words about how sofa bedbugs look: they look like cockroaches, only small and fairly wide. They run quickly, but more slowly than cockroaches, and if you look closely at them, the absence of wings catches the eye. In addition, the color of the bugs is monotonous, while the red cockroaches have specks in the area of ​​the cephalothorax.

Bedbug eggs have a length of up to half a millimeter and come across in the same place where adult insects are found. In general, the settlement of bedbugs looks like a small dump: parasites of different ages crawl around here, from small larvae to adult insects, pelts of skin left after molting are piled up, and all this is diluted with excrement and eggs.For especially impressionable people such a spectacle under the mattress of your favorite bed can cause a real shock.

Find bedbugs in a sofa is only a part of the work, and not so hard to solve as the task of expelling them from the sofa. And if the bugs are found in the apartment, you need to take measures to destroy them as soon as possible.

    I have been fighting these reptiles for 3 months. Apparently brought from Turkey. I tried dichlorvos and raptor - they do not care. Bought a steam generator. Steamed sofa already 4 times. They still survive. Parasites run quickly, you can see, while you are scalding one side, they get over to the other. And the sofa is a new one, throw out a pity, 37000.

    Hello! Last year, neighbors sold an apartment and residents from Kazakhstan moved there. And oh, horror, after a few months we could not sleep. We have small children, I am allergic to bites. Summer summoned masters. Travanuli. The class. Until next summer, they lived in paradise.Neighbors come and leave. With an interval of three months. This year again came the bugs, and there are no neighbors at home. They are in Kazakhstan. Again we have Varfolomeevsky nights. Only specialists call. No other way.

    Oh God! Tonight, too, I felt that someone was running through me. It turned out - the bug. I sit here now in the kitchen, I can’t sleep anymore. To the children in the room in any way - I'm afraid to wake up. Tomorrow I will throw out the sofa! How to poison them, if the house has small children and a cat? And we have nowhere to go. Downstairs below us, on the first floor, lives a lonely grandmother, about seventy years old, often drinks. From it, probably, creeping creeps! I am terrified.

    Dichlorvos does not help, try Medilis Super or Medilis Malathion, it kills eggs. The manufacturer's website has instructions and costs. And it is necessary to poison correctly, all places of possible settlement and habitat: behind wallpaper, batteries, shoals of wooden doors, all gaps in furniture, rear walls of cabinets, behind plinths.
