Dallas TX Bed Bug Treatment

1. Check for any signs of bed bug infestation. Know more about their behavior and habits as well as their hiding places in which they also mate and breed. It’s also important to note that other furniture aside from your bed can be their target, despite what their name suggests. Thus, this makes it more difficult to locate them. If needed, getting help from your local professional bed bug exterminators could go a long way.

2. De-clutter. This is the next straightforward but crucial step that should be included in the list. How could it be any more intuitive? But surprisingly, even a lot of people don’t get it right. Even mistakes in disposing of bed bug-infested items could potentially worsen the situation. Especially after vacuuming, make sure the vacuum bag is sealed to prevent the bed bugs from escaping. It pays to be proactive.

3. Careful with second-hand furniture. If your beloved furniture can be a bed bug target, what makes you think used furniture can’t? But that doesn’t mean you should avoid doing so by all means. You just have to be smart about it!  Before you welcome the item to your home, it’s important to inspect for any signs of bed bug infestation, especially with upholstered furniture.

4. Hot cycle your bedsheets and clothing. Dead skin cells, saliva, and sweat tend to stick on your bed, making it a honeypot for germs, fungi, and pests (of course, bed bugs aren’t an exception). Make sure you frequently change your sheets. On the other hand, bed bugs cannot physically withstand heat so it is better to hot cycle your linens and clothing to totally get rid of these suckers.

5. Seek help from professional bed bug exterminators. No matter how much time we spent researching for the best DIY approach to bed bug removal, sometimes we still need the expertise and experience of professional pest control experts.
