does anyone know what kind of spray can kill bed bugs?
Bed Bugs are a time consuming pest to eradicate. They live in cracks and crevices around the bed and it isnt a matter of just spraying for them. Ideally, a new mattress is the go.
But as not everyone can afford to do that…wrap ur mattress up in black plastic and place it in the sun for a minimum 8hrs(the humidity and heat kills them)
While ur mattress is out in the sun wash all of ur bedding in hot water and if u can hire a steam cleaner do any rugs u have. Also steam clean any habourage site like the area where the wall meets the floor…the dont not always live in the bed..they are attracted to it at night when u hop in cause the body emits Co2.
If u cant afford a pest controller to come in go to ur local hardware store and get a product for bed bugs…I am in australia so i dont know what is available to u…and aerosol spray with a long thin nozzle to get into the cracks is great. But read all directions as most products used in pest management are toxic to fish…so be aware if u have any.
once u have done this do a complete inspection of ur mattress before putting it back in ur room. The stuff i use as a pest controller is safe to lightly spray on mattresses so if the label says u can…do so.
I hope this helps..I know it looks like alot of work but it really is…Bed bug treatments need to be thorough and usually require several treatment. But u are in the postion that u are in control of who comes into ur room, unlike hotels that have guests in the same room several time a week.
Good luck
***Bed Bugs can be a frustrating pest for a unlicensed person to eradicate…if all this looks to hard, ask your friends for recommendations for a pest controller to increases your chances of having an effective treatment done.
