Better are one of the commercial pitfall traps made specifically for this purpose. Relatively inexpensive, these cups trap bed bugs attempting to climb or exit the bed. If you have encased your bedding, treated your bed frame thoroughly and installed interceptors, you will be instantly protected against bed bugs.
And n ote that for this method to be effective, beds and bedding must not touch the floor, furniture or walls. This would provide bed bugs other ways to climb onto the bed and foil your defenses. Treat other areas in your home. This is perhaps the most challenging part of do-it-yourself bed bug control. If you catch an infestation early you may not need to do anything more than treat and isolate your bed as described above.
But if an infestation has spread to other parts of the home, bed isolation may not be good enough. Still determined? Here are some tips that may improve your chances of success: Prepare the room by separating treated from untreated furniture. You may not need to do this in every room. The process is important because if you treat half of the items in a room and leave other areas untreated, bed bugs may return to the previously treated areas from untreated sites.
Take all clothes from drawers, infested closets, etc. Also double bag all personal items toys, papers, books, electronics, CDs, or anything that could serve as a hiding place for bed bugs and set them aside until they can be carefully treated, cleaned or inspected.
Systematically treat the room —all cracks and crevices around windows, outlets, blinds, pictures, posters and clocks on walls, baseboards, under edges of carpets and any other crevices or void areas in the room. Dispose of vacuum cleaner bags after you are finished in an outdoor trashcan.
Caulk and seal all holes where pipes and wires penetrate walls and floor and fill cracks around baseboards and molding to further reduce harboring areas. Since bed bugs are difficult to see, use a magnifying glass. Note: Their flat shape enables them to readily hide in most cracks and crevices. Tip: Eggs are not placed on the host's body the person sleeping in the bed , but the eggs are found on surfaces near where the host sleeps.
Bed Bug Inspection Check List. Check the mattress thoroughly, paying close attention to seams and tufts along the edges. Flip the mattress over and inspect the bottom carefully as well.
Pay particular attention to any rips in the fabric. View the fabric on the bottom of the box spring and shine a flashlight to verify that bed bugs have not penetrated the interior of the box spring. Remove the mattress and box frame from the bed frame and shine a flashlight all along every potential hiding place on the bed frame.
Remember bed bugs can slip into a crack a business card can fit into. Take out all drawers and cushions from surrounding furniture. Check all seams and crevices carefully with a flashlight. Take your time and inspect it thoroughly. Bed Bugs are commonly found in these areas in an infested room.
Inspect the surrounding walls by removing electrical switch plates and any wall hangings. Check under tack strips and behind baseboards where ever possible. Shine light into cracks in plaster and seams along wall paper. Unfortunately electronics and appliances provide a perfect hiding spot for bed bugs. Check them closely with a flashlight and magnifying glass as well. Remove them when possible. Placing smaller ones in a bag with Nuvan Strips is an effective way to save the device.
Bed Bug fecal and blood spots look like rust are left on sheets and pillowcases when the engorged bed bugs are crushed. These indicators serve as sure signs of infestation. Bed bugs prefer to hide in cracks and crevices during the daytime and come out to feed on the host's blood at night, usually, while the host is sleeping. Since bed bugs can flatten their bodies, they fit in tiny crevices, especially around the bed area.
They are found in habitual hiding places, preferably close to a blood meal. Even though their preference is to be close, they can travel several feet for a blood meal.
Initial infestations tend to be around beds, but the bugs eventually become scattered throughout a room, occupying any crevice or protected location. They can also spread to adjacent rooms or apartments. This question is answered by the condition of the mattress and the size of infestation. If there are holes or tears in the gauze fabric or fabric of the mattress, bed bugs and eggs may be inside. The bed bugs may be outside as well.
