Does anyone know how to get rid of bed bugs?

Question

I bought some new mattreses for my parents and we've always put them out in the sun but a few weeks later we found bed bugs hiding underneath the sides of the mattress eventhough we put the mattress in the sun. My Dad even had to get rid of his mattress cause we couldn't get rid of the bed bugs.

Answer 1

Answer 3

Put your mattress under the sun and after that spray lysol if it does not work, buy a new matress

Answer 4

Out in the sun will not do it.  You need consistent temperature of about 130 degrees to kill them.

I would hire a good PCO company to come in and help. I am not sure what else you are using but friends swear by Kleen-Free which they buy at www.Kleen-Free.com although it only kills what it contacts.

You need to spray everywhere so you will go through a lot of spray in trying to get rid of them.   I would use this in conjunction with a good pest control company.

A new mattress will only work if you get rid of all the bugs. Despite the name bedbugs, they live behind the baseboard, cracks inthe wall, end tables etc.  

Good luck.
