• fighting bed bugs using low or high temperatures
• mechanical methods for the destruction of bedbugs.

Of these three options, in 90% of cases, the first is applied with the achievement of the desired results. The reason for this is its versatility and efficiency.

If the use of temperature methods in living conditions is available only to residents of certain regions (with a cold climate), and not all year round, then any apartment can be treated with an effective preparation at any time of the year.

Mechanical methods of struggle consist in direct extermination of insects by hands or a vacuum cleaner. They give a more or less reliable result only in the overhaul of the premises, when you can guaranteed to destroy all insects in a certain area.

That is why in the first place you should get acquainted with the destruction of bed bugs with their own hands with the help of powerful insecticides.

 

We destroy bedbugs with insecticides

Do not immediately be afraid of insecticidal drugs as "poisonous chemistry." The beauty of modern means to combat domestic insects is that, when expressed in bugs, they are sufficiently harmless to humans. However, certain security measures when applying them should still be observed.

Most household insecticides come in the form of a spray or liquid that must be sprayed indoors using a conventional household atomizer spray. These include:

• Executioner, considered today the best drug for self-destruction of bugs. It comes in the form of a liquid concentrate and requires dissolution in a larger volume of water.
• Insecticide, even more effective than Hangman, but also more toxic. In some cases, its use is undesirable.
• Combat, produced in cylinders of the type of air fresheners.
• Tetrix, the most expensive, fetid and hard-to-reach, but also incredibly powerful drug for bedbugs.
• Karbofos, somewhat outdated morally, but continuing to actively destroy bedbugs, especially in rural areas. Sometimes it is realized in the form of a powder that must be dissolved in water to obtain a working suspension ...

…and some others. The main advantage of these funds - the ability to destroy bedbugs with their own hands.

They just need to take and spray on the maximum number of surfaces in the room, wait a few hours, ventilate the room and carry out wet cleaning.

With careful treatment of places in which bugs can hide - beds, wardrobes, mattresses, carpets, bookshelves - one treatment is enough to completely destroy adult bugs, larvae and eggs.

Important!

When working with all the sprayed preparations, the handler must use a cotton-gauze bandage, gloves and the most closed clothing. Such measures will help to avoid allergies or effects on the skin of active substances insecticides.

Drugs produced in the form of powders or pencils are also quite effective. For example, these include the famous Pyrethrum or the traditional already pencil Masha.

The first should be scattered in places of accumulation and movement of bedbugs, the second - to smear all the surfaces over which the bugs can move. Such measures, though tightened destruction of bedbugs for a few days, or even weeks, but will do without evacuating the occupants of the premises.

Feedback

"... I missed the moment a bit, hoping that" it will resolve itself. " A month later, these creatures began to gnaw so much that they had to move in with their parents. The apartment was literally flooded with Karbofos, the sofa and the bed were sprayed by the Executioner, it is very expensive to handle the whole apartment. He closed the windows and left. A week later, he swept away a few kilograms of these bugs, shook the bed, wiped the entire apartment with a rag, and they did not appear again. ”

DIY heat treatment

Thermal methods for the destruction of bedbugs with their own hands are based on the sensitivity of the parasites to rapid temperature changes and their ability to survive only in narrow temperature ranges. For insect extermination enough of the following measures:

• In the northern regions in winter when the air temperature is below minus 22 ° С, leave the windows open for several days. Such a decrease in temperature will kill bedbugs, but may also damage the heating system.
• If the check showed that the bugs inhabit only one sofa or mattresses on the bed (which is rarely enough), take them outside for a few days, and then vacuum them thoroughly.
• In the southern regions - on the contrary, bed linen, mattresses or pillows should be closed on a hot day in a car left in the sun. If the temperature in it rises above + 50 ° C, all the bugs in linen will die.
• Wash contaminated pillows and bedding in a washing machine at temperatures above + 50 ° C.

Except for the first method, such methods do not allow to process the entire apartment. Therefore, they are used quite rarely.

Sometimes people practice the treatment of mattresses and bed with boiling water, but such measures give only temporary results: those bugs that hide in the apartment in the crevices of the furniture and behind the plinths will remain intact.

If bed bugs are wound up in an apartment, destroying them manually with the help of mechanical means of struggle (for example, sneakers, vacuum cleaner) is in most cases doomed to failure.It is almost impossible to vacuum the space behind the baseboards, clothes that may contain eggs and larvae, sockets and various small cracks in the room.

And even more so there is no chance to transfer all the bugs by hand, especially considering the small size of the larvae of the very early ages and the complexity of their detection. Also unlikely to find all the eggs of parasites.

Traditional means of fighting bugs like turpentine, wormwood and vinegar do not destroy insects, but only frighten off. Therefore, their use gives only a temporary effect. In addition, their use is fraught with serious inconvenience arising from the spread of a sharp and unpleasant smell in the room.

Therefore, if the bugs in the apartment or house were wound up and you decided to destroy them yourself, then it is best to use reliable modern insecticides.
