What kills bed bugs is not harmless for people and pets at all.
Insecticide's that we use to get rid of bed bugs at home, or even at hotels are more harmful today than they have been a couple years ago.
The main reason for this is the fact that bedbugs have become more resistant through evolution in order to survive and continue breeding.
Mother Nature is a bitch isn't she? Because of this reason, insecticides commonly used for extermination had to be stronger to remain their effectiveness.
Unfortunately not all people are careful when choosing the mean for getting rid of this nasty little pests and do not understand the danger to their health and the health of their family or pets.
So, what kills bed bugs safely? First of all, it depends on how serious the infestation is and how many unwanted inhabitants are there in your bed.
If the problem has not escalated jet you still have time to try fixing it with some natural and safest methods.
First, try to narrow down the area to that needs to be treated from bugs through a thorough inspection of the furniture, all floor and wall coverings and other places that could be potentially compromised.
Look for the symptoms of bugs such as feces and smell.
You can use a small magnifying glass to see small parasites, and possibly eggs.
After you have located the source of the problem, take a good and strong vacuum cleaner possibly the one with water filter, not a paper or textile bag.
That is because after you collect the bugs and eggs with it you do not want them to stay in a vacuum cleaner bag and trust me it is not easy, so if you can, use a water filter cleaner.
After cleaning, take a steam cleaner and go through all surfaces to steam it well.
The heat from the cleaner will kill the bugs and the eggs if there are any left after vacuuming.
After steaming, leave your mattresses to dry and then cover them with a mattress cover that will protect you from future pests.
