Bed bugs are one of the most annoying neighbors any home can have. What do you need to know about these pests in order to quickly and effectively destroy them yourself?

Information about bedbugs

How to detect

The first signs of bedbugs appearing in the house will be bites on the body - they can be easily distinguished from the bites of other insects: the bug does not feed at one point, but leaves a trail of bites behind itself. Some of the individuals will be crushed in their sleep by a tossing and turning person, so that brown blood stains can be found on the bed linen.

If you suspect the appearance of bedbugs, you need to inspect the house for eggs and insect excrement (dark small specks).

They settle in secluded places:

• folds of furniture, under armrests, under upholstery;
• seams of pillows and blankets;
• electronics, books, soft toys;
• behind the baseboards, ventilation grilles, under the window sills, behind door jambs, radiators;
• under the wallpaper if it lags behind the walls.

In general, almost everywhere. The insects themselves can be seen on the walls and ceiling of the apartment, but only at night, when they go out hunting. Hungry bugs have a translucent, segmented body 3–5 mm long. When they drink blood, they acquire its color - from scarlet to brown, which turns into black as the food is digested. Bedbugs do not have wings, but due to their lightness they can glide onto the bed from the ceiling.

Bed bugs

Bed bugs are insects from the hemiptera family, one of the most common household pests. Alone, they are not too dangerous - they do not bite painfully, they feed rarely and only at night. However, they breed in huge quantities and can spread over a large area in a short time. In this case, it will be very difficult to get them out of the apartment.

It is worth considering that a bedbug infestation does not mean that the house is dirty - these are not cockroaches that need garbage and dirt. These pests feed on blood, so they can settle in any room where people or other warm-blooded animals live. They get to new places through clothes, luggage and other things - you don’t even need to carry a live bug with you, just a couple of eggs are enough.

Advice: after visiting suspicious places, it is recommended to carefully inspect all your belongings and boil your clothes.

Reproduction of bedbugs

The bedbug is an insect with incomplete metamorphosis (no larval stage). The female lays up to 5 eggs per day, or 250–500 eggs per life cycle. Development from egg to adult takes 30–40 days per favorable conditions, in unfavorable ones - up to 100 days.

Damage caused by bedbugs

The main problem that bedbugs cause people is night discomfort. According to statistics, 70% of people do not notice bites in their sleep, since the insect injects a small amount of anesthetic into the skin. But subconsciously, you can at least feel the crawling of bedbugs on the body - a person tosses and turns, does not get enough sleep, which ultimately affects his psycho-emotional health and performance.

Whether bedbugs are carriers of infectious diseases is a matter of debate among scientists. According to some reports, these insects can infect humans with the following diseases:

• hepatitis B;
• plague;
• tularemia;
• leprosy;
• smallpox;
• tuberculosis.

It is almost impossible to completely get rid of bedbugs over a large area. The best option will throw away all the furniture and other things on which eggs were found, and renovate the apartment. If this is not possible, you should contact exterminators: the use of professional chemicals will provide almost perfect result. But you can save money and use a number of household chemicals.

Dichlorvos and similar insecticides are ineffective against bedbugs - you can only fight them powerful means based on karbofos.

In this case, you need to follow a number of rules:

1. the preparations are toxic, so when cleaning the premises yourself, you need to use personal protective equipment;
2. Before processing the apartment, you need to remove children and pets from the house, hide food, toys, and clothes;
3. First of all, nests should be treated, as well as places where pests accumulate - the above-mentioned secluded places;
4. After processing with your own hands, all windows and doors are closed, the house should be left for a day, after which wet cleaning using disinfectants.
   Affected items can be taken outside if it is cold there and frozen. Clothes should be boiled.

Liquid products

Treatment with liquid preparations is carried out using a spray bottle.

The following insecticides are most effective:

• chlorophos;
• THFM-3;
• karbofos solution at a concentration of 0.3–1%;
• "Foresight";
• "Lakterin";
• "Insecta Dibro-Fin";
• "Primadid."

They should be used in strict accordance with the instructions included with the insecticide.

Advice: you should not re-treat the apartment with the same product, as bedbugs get used to it and the effectiveness of disinfestation decreases.

Powders

In practice, four powders have shown their effectiveness:

It is important to strictly follow the instructions from the manufacturer without increasing the recommended concentration of the drug - it will not act faster or more effectively, and the likelihood of harm to health will increase.

How to get rid of bedbugs

The easiest way to get rid of pests is do-it-yourself heat treatment. This can be done in several ways:

• The apartment needs to be frozen. In winter, all windows are opened and the room is left for a day. When the temperature in the apartment drops to -15 degrees, the bedbugs will begin to die. Before doing this, you need to turn off the heating radiators so that they do not burst.
• Warming up the room to +50 °C. Anyone can do this in an accessible way- radiators, heat guns, hot steam generators.
• Pressurized steam can also be used to directly treat bedbug nests yourself, which will physically kill them.

You can also use some traditional methods based on natural insecticides.

Traditional methods

Various natural remedies will help against bedbugs:

• Sagebrush. Used in the form of infusions or dry form. You can find dry wormwood in any pharmacy. It is safe for health and will not kill bedbugs, but its smell will force pests to leave your home;
• Tansy or wild rosemary. Their flowers are scattered throughout the house;
• Infusion of dry tobacco (regular cigarette tobacco is suitable) - 40 g per 1 liter of water;
• Mint juice;
• Hemp oil;
• Vinegar.

6 recipes for deliverance

Bedbugs have been our neighbors for many centuries. In the past, when they had not yet been invented chemical insecticides, people used a variety of natural recipes remedies for bedbugs.

In addition, our ancestors (especially representatives of small nationalities) used various conspiracies and rituals. So, in the current Komi Republic, such a ritual was popular: they caught one bug and the whole family mocked it, destroying it morally, and then released it. He probably had to tell his relatives about what evil people, and they will all gather and run away to where no one will insult them. Of course, no one can guarantee the effectiveness of this method.

Prevention of infection

To avoid bedbugs infesting your home, you should follow a number of simple preventive measures:

• regular inspection of the house for the presence of bedbugs;
• compliance with hygiene rules - regular wet cleaning;
• boiling, steaming, ironing linen and clothes;
• checking new furniture, mattresses (even new ones) before delivering them home;
• when visiting cheap hotels, rented apartments and other dubious places - inspection of typical bedbug habitats;
• if the house is private, inspect and protect the attic from birds, bats and other animals that can bring bedbugs on their skins.

Tip: To prevent bedbugs from infesting dog or cat bedding, it should be filled with fresh pine shavings, which should be changed regularly.

If bedbugs have infested your neighbors or in the entrance, you should contact the SES for disinfestation, since insects will probably get to you from the neighboring apartment.

How much does it cost to remove bedbugs?

Price professional pest control strongly depends on the number of individuals and the affected area. Considering the difficulty of removing bedbugs on your own and the frequent need to re-treat the premises, the amount can reach huge values. So, in the USA, they can charge from 5 to 80 thousand dollars for processing a residential building!

In Russia, both the area and the demands of exterminators are smaller. However, the cost is still high: even for processing small apartment with an area of ​​up to 20 m2 you will have to pay about 20 thousand rubles. When processing a house with your own hands, you can save a lot: it’s quite possible to keep it within 1-2 thousand.

Some products cost up to 100 rubles, but they are usually based on dichlorvos, and their effectiveness is low. Traditional methods and even cheaper, but more labor-intensive due to the need for repeated (often even regular) independent processing.

Thus, to get rid of bedbugs, you need to follow simple recommendations disinfectologists:

1. Before and after treatment, it is necessary to wet clean the room.
2. Chemical disinfestation can be supplemented with effective folk remedies.
3. When processing independently, you should use by individual means protection.
4. After some time, it is necessary to carry out repeated disinfestation.
5. The best way to get rid of bedbugs is to never get them, so preventing infestation should be a priority.

If do-it-yourself treatment does not lead to anything, call specialists who will quickly remove bedbugs using professional preparations.

Bedbugs: how to get rid of them forever

Insecticides, especially professional grade ones, have high efficiency and bedbugs quickly die from them, but how to get rid of insects forever? Is it possible? Yes, if together with chemicals you will take steps to protect yourself from bedbugs.

To combat bedbugs, it is sometimes important to establish the causes of their appearance. In the overwhelming majority of cases, a problem arises either by accident or by someone’s negligence, in this case the management company or neighbors.

• Somewhere outside the house, a bug ended up on your clothes, in your bag or on your shoes, and you accidentally brought it home.
• The insect clung to a cat or dog during a trip to the country or a walk.
• You brought a stray animal home, and the bedbugs from it moved into your apartment.
• The pests were found in cardboard and paper packaging materials for goods.
• You bought used furniture, or new furniture, but in an unfavorable place from a sanitary point of view.
• Bedbugs live on stray animals or birds in the basement, attic or ventilation shafts houses from where they crawl through the ventilation into apartments.
• Bedbugs live with your neighbors and from there, again through the ventilation, they crawl to you.

If you have reason to believe that the causes of bedbugs are related to your neighbors, use it to solve the problem. If you suspect that insects are living somewhere in the public areas of your home, contact your management company requesting an inspection.

Prevention of bedbugs

Bed bug prevention can help reduce the likelihood of insect problems in your home. If advice from previous section We mainly discussed how to protect your home from pests; then we will talk about habits that you can introduce into your lifestyle on an ongoing basis.

Comfort conditions in own home can be improved in different ways. Of course, every person wants his native corner to be as nice and nice as possible. But while some are thinking about buying expensive furniture, others no longer know what to use against bedbugs that spoil their sleep and nerves.

Believe me, even finally expelling the bedbug-infested people from an apartment or private house is no worse than killing them: the extra fuss will disappear!

In addition, it is important to notice one more interesting thing. It consists of the following: when creeping dirty tricks disappear from the face of the Earth, mountains of lifeless bodies remain. Naturally, the layers of fallen enemies do not exude the most nice smell. You have to get rid of this for a long time and persistently, sweeping, scrubbing, rustling with a rag in the room.

It is possible to remove bedbugs from an apartment forever and without allowing victims. You just need to choose the right “stain”, and then all your plans will come true. Listen to the recommendations below in order to suffer less and put a clothespin on your nose.

Hot water

Boiling water is not only an excellent companion, allowing you to quickly deal with greasy dishes and dirty hands. In addition, highly heated liquid can seriously intimidate insects. Of course, nothing may work out the first time, but in this case, stopping is like a sin (weak faith in success leads to destructive idleness). Once you have started, go to the bitter end!

Remember that boiling water is not suitable if flooring It’s expensive and I don’t want to spoil it. Treasure completely once laid? Then don't manipulate hot water! If you have nothing to lose, attack under the banner of positive thoughts. This is a completely worthy method that eliminates the boring question: “how to get bedbugs out of an apartment yourself?”

So, what is required for this:

• Boiling water. Lots of boiling water. Getting it is probably not a problem, no matter where you live. Some will be pleased with a conscientiously prancing boiler, while others will be forced to heat the water drawn from the tap to boiling temperature.
• Get rid of all clutter on the floor. The paths are supposed to be moved to another room, but don’t be too lazy to water them in addition.
• Pour boiling water over the entire floor. Make sure that its level is not too high, otherwise the neighbors below will be upset and demand an explanation for the sudden rain.
• After a few minutes, start getting rid of puddles with a rag. The procedure can be repeated several times (at your discretion, but it is advisable to do so).

It’s good if it’s the last month of spring or summer outside. Then the apartment is warm, a cool breeze blows square meters doesn’t walk around, so scalding the brats will be the most productive thing ever.

Removing bedbugs yourself, guided only by this method, is sometimes easy, but sometimes not too easy. Think about greater pressure in this fight, which is quite achievable. How? Read more...

Poisons from improvised means

Bedbugs do not like kerosene and vinegar. This gives an excellent reason to go with a small number of components. It will be based on heated liquid. You need to pour kerosene into it (mixing with other products is not very correct, since the smell of vinegar alone is easily overwhelmed and the results are less meaningful than expected).

Here is a brief sequence of actions for such bullying:

• Again, as was written earlier, stir in a bottle with warm water kerosene or vinegar. You can try one thing first, and then try something else after a couple of days. Not a single store will sell such a chemical! It’s easier to acquire the components individually than to get rid of bedbugs, say, with a vacuum cleaner.
• Attach a spray bottle to the bottle so that you can irrigate “suspicious areas.” These include the following: the area near the bed, baseboards, threshold, rugs, radiator battery.
• Leave the room, tightly closing the door and all existing windows behind you, or it is quite possible to “play the box” yourself from such a “lilac”.
• Come back after a couple of hours. Ventilate the rooms and prepare for a future attack on your part. Even if you are not bothered by bloodsuckers for several nights in a row after the procedure, this is not yet a reason to salute in honor of the end of the war!
• Try other combinations.

It’s worth experimenting with the following combinations (also combined with heated water):

• Ammonia with naphthalene.
• Ethyl alcohol with camphor oil.

What else can you do to get rid of bedbugs? Probably, without writing off sedatives, do not disdain to use valerian tincture. This “fluid madam” “flirts” not only with cats. There are many cases where, after using it, bedbugs crawled out of their habitable places. Here is another effective combination of elements: boiling water + valerian.

How to remove bedbugs at home using dried herbs?

Herbalism in past centuries was widespread throughout Europe. Dried roots, crushed petals and cut stems were used to treat ailments, make (by the way, read about this in another article on the site), and expel bedbugs. Everyday hardships associated with the invasion of unwanted guests are to this day successfully endured at the expense of representatives of the plant kingdom.

Calamus, rosemary, chamomile and tansy will help you in the confrontation, plus it will help. Of course, such a bouquet will remain in the room for a long time except for a connoisseur. The smell is very persistent, long-lasting and even slightly dangerous to health, as you can become stupefied. You cannot use herbs in children's rooms where little descendants sleep, because the young body is extremely vulnerable.

Green stuff is laid out (fresh is best) in bunches in the corners of the room. One does not interfere with the other, so do not skimp on leaving the gifts of nature in abundance by combining several herbs. They can be placed in small bags (you get something like a sachet) or just poured out on the floor. Keep in mind the fact that dried herbs are not as effective as fresh ones.

The former can be purchased at a favorable price at any pharmacy. And sometimes you don’t have to spend money on the latter at all, because the wilderness is always open for hikes with specific goals. However, for city residents, vibrant landscapes are a dream.

It is important to additionally know this feature: preparing herbal tinctures in order to preserve children's health is not reasonable from the point of view of further properties. If you’ve already asked yourself the question “how to quickly get rid of bedbugs at home?”, then this idea obviously won’t work. significant role, but... Oh, that “but”!

Let’s make a reservation right away: if you add a little alcohol to a decoction of water, then it is quite logical to use such a primitive mixture. But can you or your children endure the pungent smell of damned alcohol?

Having smelled “misbehaving” grasses, arthropods will want to retreat far away. Their receptors will immediately be subject to irritation when they are in a changed environment. air environment, and this will force their legs to jerk faster. Otherwise, paralysis will strike without warning!

Finally: you will find a more in-depth description on the next page, which contains interesting information.

How else can you expel bloodsuckers from the premises?

Still don't know how to get rid of bedbugs? All the previously described means have already been tried and little has been able to shake the strength of these scoundrels? Don't worry, there's still tinder in the tinder boxes!

Humanity has invented insecticide-based crayons and powders. Domestic production is able to please consumers with the popular product “Mashenka”, powders “Riapan”, “Adamant” and “Neopin”.

The beauty of these miraculous devices is that they are harmless to the health of residents. They do not even harm pets (only unwanted and ill-mannered tiny “pets”). But you shouldn’t go to extremes and recklessness, that is, try to prevent animals from licking these substances and protect the baby. Unsupervised pranks lead to unpleasant consequences.

So, now more specifically about the products. The chalk “Mashenka” alone is powerless (no matter what Dold-Mikhailik Yuri wrote about wars!). It should be used in conjunction with the given powders and only in this way, not otherwise!

It is advisable to smear and rub not only in the area of ​​the notorious desks, shelves and beds. Some will not hesitate to paint even the ceiling. And this, by the way, is quite justified, since “climbers” are avid lovers of falling from heights onto sleeping people. But they don’t yet know that someone knows how to get bedbugs out of the house!

When you are about to apply chalk and powders to surfaces, do not neglect the basic protection of gloves. A chalk pencil can be used for painting the interior and for diluting it in water, followed naturally by spraying everything everywhere. Due to its fragile structure, it crumbles easily and dissolves just as easily. There is no point in ventilating the premises after the procedure: there is no smell.

Either spread the powder in low piles around the perimeter of the room, or mix it with a small volume of water. The best consistency is a barely liquid paste.

On ease of use, prevalence and harmlessness positive traits don't end. It is also important for the average person who does not like to spend too large sums how low the cost is. We hasten to please you!

On the market, on average, you will have to spend no more than 200-250 rubles on such goods (this is in total). It’s great, after all, because the consumer has at his disposal not just one product, but several at once, which can be alternated and combined!

Fact #155 “More than 200 useful notes about bed bugs”

After all, the weaknesses of bedbugs are not limited to vulnerability to pesticides alone. For example, these insects cannot withstand exposure to high temperatures, die (although not so quickly) from contact with a natural non-toxic powder - diatomaceous earth, and also fall into simple accidents. homemade traps. In addition, today insecticides have been developed in forms in which the chemical danger to humans is minimized. Let's arm ourselves with everyone available means and get to work!

Step 1. How to remove bedbugs at home with steam

For heat treatment you will need:

• Washing machine
• Household steam cleaner
• Industrial hot air gun

Scientific fact: direct action temperature +50 degrees kills bedbugs of all stages of development within one minute

High-temperature treatment means 0% toxicity, minimum costs and immediate effect. You can destroy bloodsuckers in this way even in the presence of children and pets. To do this, you will need a washing machine, a household steam cleaner or a high-temperature industrial hair dryer.

Bed sheets

We begin heat treatment with sleeping furniture - beds and sofas. First of all, we remove the bed linen and immediately send it to washing machine, start the wash at 60 degrees or higher. The same method is suitable for cleaning curtains and tulle from bedbug eggs and larvae. In the meantime, the machine is washing, we warm up and steam the beds and sofas.

Attention!

If the laundry is planned for another day, do not under any circumstances put beds from the contaminated bedroom into general basket for dirty laundry. Collect in a plastic bag and close tightly to prevent bedbugs from getting out.

Treating a bed starts with the mattress. It is convenient to use a steam cleaner for a mattress, but if you don’t have one, a steam iron or a hot hair dryer will do. If you use a hairdryer or iron, be careful not to burn the material of the case.

First, we slowly pass the edge, bending the edges if necessary, then ventilation holes and decorative stripes. Then we sequentially work the entire surface of the mattress on both sides and the end. If the cover is torn or worn out in some places, we release a shock jet of hot steam into the hole. We steam the pillows in the same way, starting from the corners and seams.

We assume that it will take up to one hour to process mattresses and pillows. Then we move on to the bed frame. An industrial hair dryer would be more suitable here to heat the cracks in the joints and fastenings of the bed.

Bed frame

We disassemble the wooden frame as much as possible, since wood does not conduct heat well, and a sufficiently high temperature is unlikely to penetrate deep into the cracks. Step by step we warm up the supports, load-bearing elements, sides, headboard, backrest, mattress slats and holders. We set the temperature of the hair dryer taking into account the thermal sensitivity of the coating, so as not to spoil the materials.
