How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs
WouterIf you have bed bugs, you must act fast. You should remove your clothes immediately. If possible, store them in your garage. If you do not have a garage, you can place your clothes in a bathtub. The reason for this is that bed bugs do not like light and slippery surfaces. Secondly, you should place your clothes in a plastic bag and take it to the washing machine.
Another way to repel bed bugs is by using essential oils. The smell of essential oils is extremely unpleasant to bed bugs. You can use lavender oil as a repellent. It is a great natural remedy for bed bugs. You can also apply it directly to the bed bugs. This will prevent them from coming near you.
Another natural treatment is diatomaceous earth. This is a powder that is often advertised to repel bed bugs. The powder works by removing the waxy coating on the insects. When this happens, the insect loses water. However, bedbugs are not susceptible to dehydration. In fact, they can survive for up to 400 days without eating. As a result, diatomaceous earth is not effective against bed bugs.
Another simple yet effective homemade remedy for bed bugs is white vinegar. It can be applied to the skin with a cotton wool ball or mixed with water. This homemade remedy can help repel bugs while sleeping, but it won’t completely eliminate them. However, it can prevent them from hiding out between the sheets.
