What Can You Do to Kill Off Bed Bugs?

If you have recently discovered that you have a bed bug problem, you are more than likely considering just tossing out your mattress if you can. One part of you wants to do that, but the other part realizes that they aren't that cheap to replace. So what can you use to save your mattress and kill off the bed bugs for good? Here's what I have used and many other people use to really kill off these nasty insects.

Chances are by the time you have discovered these bugs, you will have a pretty large infestation as these insects are pretty good about hiding away until they grow into a large number of bugs.

In order to really get rid of them, you need to make sure you are targeting your efforts towards the main source of the bugs. These are usually going to be in locations that you can't see visibly without moving the mattress around. Check underneath the mattress and on the sides you don't always see. Like I mentioned earlier, these bugs are great at hiding and only coming out when it's time to feed. (on you!)

Once you find the area's of infestation, you will want to spray them down with a safe insecticide. These bed bug sprays aren't always available at local stores, so you may have to find this type of spray online. Whatever you do, don't resort to regular insecticides as these are toxic and could harm your health.

Bed bug powder in the infected area's will ensure the area's stay bug free for a long time to come. These are some of the tricks an exterminator will use but charge quite a large amount of money for. Save yourself the money and do it yourself!
