is there any home remedies of getting rid of bed bugs?

Answer 1

Certainly, but the best route is to call an exterminator. Unfortunately it may take multiple trips for the problem to be eradicated.

If cost is an issue, there are home methods that work, but you MUST be vigilant, as it may take some time.

#1) Clean, clean, clean. Wash EVERYTHING with hot water. Steam clean the carpet. Steam clean the seams of your mattress. Look around your clock radio. They like to hide in cracks. Look along the baseboards of the room.

#2) Buy some type of insecticide and follow the directions completely. Repeat as needed.

#3) Clean again!

You can do this on your own, but be prepared for a battle that may last a few weeks.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment and I will do my best to answer. I work for a LARGE health department and help people with this problem almost every week.

I've never had bedbugs...but have had to deal with lice. I threw all stuffed toys in a garbage bag & put them in the freezer for 2 weeks. I washed all the bedding in hot water, ironed all the beds & carpets to kill em off with the heat & sprayed alot of raid everywhere
