How to kill bugs at home. Learn how to get rid of bed bugs at home: the most effective means of destruction and preventive measures

Bed bugs found in dwellings are fully adapted to coexist with people. The optimum temperature for their growth and active reproduction is 14-30 0 C.

Domestic bugs belong to the class Insects. Their body is small - 5-8 mm. Red-brown color. With hunger, it is paler. There are no wings.

There are females and males. Bedbugs breed year round. The female lays 1-12 white eggs of an elongated shape that resemble rice grain per day.

The period of appearance of the larvae depends on indoor conditions and can last from 4 to 19 days. As soon as the larvae hatch from the eggs, they begin to search for food. Insects become sexually mature after 1-3.5 months from the time of breaking eggs.

Bed bugs are active at night. But with severe exhaustion, they can bite in the daytime. They attack exposed parts of the body. Eat every 3-10 days. Bedbug bites are not felt.

The oral apparatus is a piercing-sucking type. Bed bugs cannot bite and bite anything. They can only pierce the skin and suck blood.

The lifespan of one individual is about 1 year. In the absence of food, they can migrate to other rooms through crevices, ventilation holes, external walls of the house, etc. If searches have not yielded results, bugs fall into a state of numbness (life processes slow down). In this state, they can live more than a year.

Bed bugs do not form nests, but there are places of their greatest accumulation.

Harm of bugs for humans and pets

Home bugs in Russia, Ukraine, Europe do not infect humans with infectious diseases. But their bites can cause:

• Suppuration.
• An allergy.

Often in infected apartments people have neuroses. They cannot fall asleep, an obsession appears that insects can run on them, itch bothers, etc.

Bed bugs rarely attack pets. Unlike fleas, their body is flattened (wide) and does not allow them to easily get to the body of the animal through thick hair. But in the absence of food, they can also disturb animals.

How to understand that bedbugs are wound up in the house?

The presence of bed bugs in the house can be found by:

• Bites. Itchy bites appear in the morning. Their distinguishing feature - red spots are located one after the other ("path"). There are no wounds in the scalp. Nobody notices the process itself.
• Stained on the bed.  After damage to the skin and small blood vessels, for some time the blood continues to ooze from the wound. Stains may remain on the sheet. Insects most often live where they eat, so they can leave traces of feces - black dots on the bed.
• Smell. When a large number of bugs accumulate, a specific smell may appear in the room. It is most often compared with the smell of fermented raspberries or spoiled alcohol. Specialists call this smell unpleasantly sweet.

How do bugs get into a dwelling?

There are many ways to get bed bugs into the house:

• With used items.  This route of infection is dangerous for those who buy furniture, books, antiques, clothes, household appliances from their hands.
• Neighboring apartments.  Bed bugs like ants or cockroaches can run into the house through neighboring apartments, rooms. The likelihood of infection of the premises increases if there are common places for visiting residents of different rooms - a communal apartment, a hostel.
• Guests .    Bedbugs in the house can bring on themselves relatives, acquaintances. Especially if they stayed overnight.
• Workers .    The people involved in the repair are not only in different houses, but in different rooms. Often they pick up bugs themselves and bring them to a new facility.
• After vacation .   Even in the most expensive hotel it is impossible to process all the items in the room after each visitor. People often meet with "bloodsuckers" in rented housing.

How many bugs can live in an empty house?

1-2 months bed bugs can easily do without food. At the same time, the development of larvae will slow down, because they need food to molt and move to another level of development. But the absence of a person will practically not affect the number of inhabitants of the nests. In addition, in search of mammals, they can migrate to their neighbors. When a person returns home, some of the insects can come back.

How to detect bugs yourself?

Homemade bugs eat at night. Therefore, most often their nests are located in places where people sleep. When searching for them, the first thing to do is to examine the sleeping places - sofas, beds, mattresses. Their habitat is more often seams and joints in furniture. If even here it is not possible to find adult insects, their feces, chitinous covers remaining after molting, the eggs will indicate their presence.

You should also remove all carpets from the room. Inspect the places where flooring goes into skirting boards. Remove them if necessary.

The optimal conditions for bedbugs are darkness, warmth, dryness. They accumulate in remote, secluded corners of the house.

Favorite places of bed bugs :

• The back surface of the paintings.
• Circuit breakers.
• Cabinets.
• Wallpaper under the radiators.
• System blocks of computers.
• Bookshelves.

Methods for killing bugs

Bed bugs are not as easy to breed as, for example, cockroaches or ants. The fact is that they do not eat poisoned baits. Their only food is blood. In the fight against them, only funds that enter the body of the insect not through the digestive tract help.

Bed bugs do not have increased survivability. You can get rid of them:

• Manual collection method.
• Chemical treatment.
• A sharp difference in temperature, etc.

But not all methods allow you to get rid of them completely. With manual collection, even if all adults can be caught, eggs will remain. This means that soon new insects will appear.

Bed bugs cannot be fought gradually - they multiply faster than a person manages to find them. Bedbugs need to be poisoned quickly and all at once.

You can get rid of bugs both independently and with the help of special services. Usually, all drugs on sale are designed for people who are faced with this problem for the first time. And they can easily be used at home without special equipment.

In the fight against bed bugs, the most effective is the method of extermination using aerosols. To destroy all the "bloodsuckers" it is enough to carry out the treatment of the premises with a simple spray gun with an insecticide.

Aerosols are used in various ways:

• Spraying. All surfaces and objects in the house are treated with liquid. The drug should go to each area - under the baseboard, inside the cabinets, under the mattress, etc. For the insecticide to work, the insect must pass along this surface. The method is very time-consuming, there is a risk of poisoning the person himself.
• Cold fog. Used by professional pest control. The substance penetrates more effectively into the shelters of bugs and destroys them.

The most famous manufacturers of aerosols: "Executioner", "Combat", "Clean House", "Raptor".

Most often, powders are used as a barrier method - they scatter in places where bugs can penetrate.

The most commonly used brands: Fenaxin, Clean House, Pretrum, Ecokiller.

Even choosing the most powerful insecticide can reduce the likelihood of complete extermination of insects if the product is used incorrectly.

Folk methods

Professionals say that you can get rid of bedbugs at home using a regular adhesive tape against flies. To do this, at night from the bed you need to go to sleep on the floor. Put adhesive tape around the perimeter of the bed. Not finding food, "bloodsuckers" begin to search for victims by smell and stick to the tape. On average, they need to eat every 3-4 days. In this way, for 10-12 days, you can catch all the bugs.

What to do so that the bugs do not return?

Bed bugs are not a sign of unsanitary conditions. Therefore, sooner or later they can appear in any home. In order not to bring them into the home, you must adhere to the following rules:

Bed bugs are found all over the world. The opinion that they appear and reproduce only under unsanitary conditions is erroneous. Even the most prosperous family can face them. It is impossible to get rid of bugs with the help of herbs or home improvised means. In the fight against them, it is better to use special tools on your own or to resort to the help of pest control.

This article discusses in detail all issues related to the fight against bedbugs - from prevention to prevention of re-infection.

  How to deal with bed bugs in an apartment - brief facts

First, we list the key points regarding the fight against bedbugs, which will be discussed in detail in the article:

Knowing the ways in which bedbugs get into the apartment will help to take protective measures and prevent infection. Here are the top 5 common routes for bedbugs to people's homes:

• Secondly, do not ignore appearing on the body bites  in the form of itchy redness. Bites, as a rule, appear in the morning, but 40% of people do not respond to bedbugs. Some, on the contrary, have an acute allergic reaction. One way or another, bites on the body are an occasion to sound the alarm and conduct a thorough examination of the apartment.

• And thirdly, check the bed for availability black and brown spots, similar to the points from the gel pen, this is a sign of the activity of bed bugs. The accumulation of such spots indicates that the bloodsuckers have arranged nearby shelter. In such places you can also find dry skins from molting larvae and whitish rice-shaped eggs.

  Where room bugs hide, and how to deal with them

The first step is how to deal with bedbugs yourself, is to conduct a quality inspection of the room. Check the favorite places of bloodsuckers in the apartment, which are listed in the following list:

• Inside the bed (in joints, crevices, mounts) and on the back of the headboard.
• Along the seams of the mattress (do not forget to raise the edge) under the bedding and on the pillows under the pillowcases.
• In cracks and cracks in walls and ceilings, including skirting boards, sockets and switches.
• On the back of the wall carpet hanging by the bed (primarily around the perimeter along the seam).
• Inside and around sofas and soft chairs, starting from the back of the backrest (for a quality inspection, you may have to disassemble the furniture, but believe me, this is not a waste of work).
• Beyond photographs and paintings, under wall clocks and lamps.
• In linen closets, chests of drawers and bedside tables, both inside and outside on the back wall.
• On curtains and curtains, especially in the upper part. Please note that black fecal spots of bedbugs on curtain and tulle fabric spread and take the form of blurry crosses, which are sometimes superstitiously mistaken for supernatural occult signs .

So, if bugs nevertheless got into the house, how to deal with them, read on.

  How to deal with bedbugs at home

In how to deal with bed bugs on their own, the thought out strategy is the most important - the correct sequence of actions:

How to deal with bedbugs on the couch

• We remove the covers and covers from the sofa cushions and send them to the washing machine for hot washing and drying.
• As far as the design allows, we lay out the sofa, disconnect the modules and pull-out elements (if necessary, do not be too lazy to use a screwdriver and a wrench). Bedbugs like to arrange “nests” in narrow spaces between the body and sidewalls, in the places where the rear crossbeam is fastened, in the internal cavities. Then we turn the sofa over and inspect the bottom and legs.
• In the process of inspection, we clean the contaminated surfaces with a vacuum cleaner, simultaneously removing any bugs, skins and eggs. Using a steam cleaner or hot air gun, we carry out heat treatment to kill bloodsuckers hiding in the folds and seams of the upholstery, at the joints of wooden parts, in the connecting nodes and fastenings of the sofa.
• After that, we spray all surfaces of the sofa with a contact insecticide, then let it dry and ventilate.

How to protect your bed from bedbugs

Move the bed away from the contact surfaces - walls, nightstands and other furniture. Do not allow the edges of the sheet or bedspread hanging down to the floor, remove things that come into contact with the bed body from under the bed. The bed should only be in contact with the floor through the legs. If you do not have a bed base with legs, get it to sleep on it, at least until you get rid of bed bugs.

And the final element of bed insulation is trap-interceptors, which are placed under each leg. Such traps can be made independently, they will prevent bed bugs from climbing onto the bed along the legs of the bed. Trying to get to the victim, the bloodsuckers will crawl along the outer walls, and fall into the trap around the perimeter, from where they can no longer get out.

When the bed is completely isolated, bed bugs living in the room will not be able to feed on your blood and hide inside the bed. Traps will also help keep track of how the bloodsucker population is changing in the room. As the next steps are taken to destroy the bugs, less and less insects will fall into the traps. Now, having made our bed inaccessible to bedbugs, we proceed to the processing of the rest of the room.

To combat bugs, insecticides of the following chemical classes are used:

• organophosphorus compounds (FOS)
• pyrethroids
• carbamates
• neonicotinoids

Bloodsuckers are capable of producing biological resistance to each of these groups of pesticides. Nowadays, pyrethroid drugs are widely used in the world, and bugs demonstrate less sensitivity to this class of pesticides. If the bug colony does not die, professional disinfectors apply a course of treatments with alternating preparations from different classes to overcome the resistance of insects.

Choosing a suitable product, we put on a respirator, rubber gloves and a protective suit and prepare a working solution. Then sequentially spray those surfaces that were previously treated with hot steam - skirting boards, crevices in the floor and walls, back walls and the base of cabinet furniture, drawers. We also process the frame and base of the bed, the bottom, back and interior areas of the sofa, the perimeter of the carpet, chairs and nightstands. When preparing and spraying the solution, we follow the instructions for the drug regarding dosage and precautions.

At the end of the work we maintain exposure (1.5 -2 hours), and then carefully ventilate the room. After that, we do wet cleaning, following the recommendations of the manufacturer of the drug.

Prevention of re-infection

• We keep the room clean and tidy.
• We close the cracks and cracks in the floor and walls to deprive bloodsuckers of shelters
• We monitor the situation with the help of interceptor traps
• Travel Precautions
• Refrain from acquiring used furniture

  Professional help in the fight against bedbugs

If the infection does not exceed 6 weeks, if you have time to study what bugs are, where they come from, and how to deal with them, if you are patient and not afraid of hard work, then the chances of dealing with the problem yourself are not so small . Insect control companies help save you time, energy and nerves.

Fight the bugs yourself or hire a professional service - to determine this issue, weigh the pros and cons using the following table:

When choosing professional disinfection services, consider what guarantees a particular service provides regarding the safety and effectiveness of the tools and technologies used. The drugs used must have appropriate certificates and certificates of registration with Rospotrebnadzor. Only in cooperation with companies operating officially, consumer rights are protected by state laws.

With regard to the cost of services, at first glance it might seem that fighting yourself is cheaper, but in fact, as a rule, it turns out the other way around. Often people order professional processing after they have already spent twice as much on independent struggle.

One way or another, it's up to you to decide how to deal with home bugs - on your own or with the help of professionals.

Advice!The executioner has another advantage over other means: they can handle bedding and clothes.

  Folk remedies for bedbugs

People have always used folk remedies to get rid of domestic insects. Almost all of these substances affect the body of arthropods with their strong odor. For example, vinegar does not kill bugs, but they can block insects from entering the apartment if all the ventilation holes and other possible ways of getting into the house are lubricated. This will be quite effective for prevention if neighbors poison domestic pests. If you use vinegar to get rid of bed bugs, then only together with other ingredients. Can be mixed with vegetable oil and lubricated skirting boards. Bedbugs will fall into such a trap and suffocate. In the same way, other folk remedies should be used - turpentine and kerosene. Just remember, if you use these remedies for bedbugs, then you significantly increase the risk of a fire in the house. These substances are flammable!

Also for the purpose of prevention, wormwood is used among the people. She doesn’t kill bedbugs, but she can frighten them off if they choose to enter your territory. Wormwood can be grown on your site or bought in a pharmacy. Dried plants need to be laid out in the habitats of insects, at least under your mattress and under the bed of a pet. The main thing is that the smell of this herb does not cause a headache in you.

  How to properly process an apartment from bedbugs
