Tips to Prevent Bed Bugs

 

Houses, hotels, motels and homes around the world are daily attacked by these insects known as bed bugs.

A bed bug is a small insect that usually lives in mattresses and becomes very active at night. You should know that these insects feed exclusively on blood, and their bite creates irritation and sometimes bleeding wounds that can become super infected.

You might be disappointed to know that, for bedbugs, it doesn't matter if you live in a very clean house. Contrary to what most people think, there is no association between bed bugs and dirt. Bedbugs feed on human and animal blood, which means that, as long as they have access to an available blood source, they can live happily in the cleanest house in the neighborhood. Misery and clutter are not factors that cause the appearance of bedbugs.

Similarly, poverty does not automatically lead to the appearance and spread of bed bugs, which means that in a simple and poor home there are not necessarily factors conducive to bedbug infestation.

To prevent the appearance of bedbugs, you should check the mattress, carpets, rugs, wallpaper from time to time. At the slightest suspicion, use special sprays. Make sure there is no moisture in the walls. If you have bedbugs, cover your body entirely with clothes, when you go to bed. It is not recommended to buy used furniture, and if you do, check carefully what you are buying.

If you feel overwhelmed by the situation, seek the advice of a highly recommended bed bug exterminator near me specializing in the extermination of these insects.
