How to get rid of bed bug?

Answer 1

change the bedsheet often, vaccum & at the same time hit the bed vigorously.  finally, hot-steam with a steamer (put water with disinfectant). happy sleeping!

Answer 2

Well, there are lots of chemicals and such, bug bombs, spray etc, but a tried and true way is to clean EVERYTHING. It is a pain, but it works. Change all bed sheets, vacum the bed throughly, wipe down the metal or clean the wood with apropite cleaner. Vacum the room it is in, including the furniture. After all that is done you may want to use a spray from the store that kills/repels bugs. I hope this helps

Answer 3

It's a tedious thing to do...best get ready for some work and call the exterminator..Go here..it's too long for me to copy & paste:

Answer 4

Heat will kill bed bugs. The apartment complex where my son works uses heat. The literature varies with the stated temperature needed, but try heating the infected space (maybe with electric space heaters, to at least 130 degrees F, for at least three hours. Some literature suggests 155 is better.

You might drape any windows to keep them from expanding too much from the heat. They could crack.

If you live in an apartment, show this to your landlord. It will be much cheaper than calling in the exterminator, and probably more effective. He might be happy to do it for you.

Answer 5

Reduce clutter to eliminate hiding places for the bugs.

Thoroughly clean house using a high-powered vacuum cleaner and a stiff brush to remove bugs from cracks in the floor.

Dismantle beds to find hiding places.

You don’t have to dispose of your bed or bedding. Wash the bedding. Seal up mattresses and box springs by taping any holes or other places where bugs could exit a hiding place. Wrap the mattresses and box springs in heavy plastic covers and seal them. Dumping mattresses on the street could result in making the problem worse by spreading it to others.

To keep bugs from traveling from the floor, up your bed, and to your sleeping corpus, set the bed frame legs in containers of mineral oil and do not let covers touch the floor.

Answer 7

Mike.

Some good answers are already here.  If I may add a bit to  what has already been told to you, I would caution you on the use of chemicals on your own.  Leave that to a pro.

You may want to grab a chemical free spray that you can apply just in case soem of yoru bugs are resistent too whatever the pro uses - this is happening more often these days.

Alot of sprays like Kleen-Free are based on having enzymes in them that work to dissolve the exoskeleton of the bugs on which they are sprayed.  Since they have no pesticides in them, they are safe to use around kids, pets, etc so this can be yorupart of the solution.

Good luck.
