You have heard the horror stories of bedbugs ever since you were a little kid, and that little phrase that you parents would use after they would tuck you in at night, "Don't let the bedbugs bite," you would just shiver at the thought of there being any possible bedbugs in your bed.
Though people make a joke out of them, bedbugs are in fact real, and can be quite a horror to experience when you do have them in your home.
Bedbugs can be quite hard to get rid of when you get them in your bed.
A lot of people give up on trying to kill them and just end up buying a whole new mattress.
This isn't always the best way to go especially if you have them in your clothes as well; which would mean the bedbugs would just end up getting on your new mattress as well.
You have to get rid of all of them.
There are different ways to get rid of bedbugs, and some ways work for some people depending on how bad they have the bugs, and some don't.
There are people that are still looking for more new and improved ways to get rid of the bedbugs.
There are certain methods that people like to use such as dry cleaning their bed clothes or their clothing that that they wear.
Many others think that any heating process would work to get rid of the bedbugs when in fact there is no guarantee that this is true.
One thing that you should also remember is that bedbugs travel, which would mean that they would be in various places in your home and not just your bed.
They could be in your carpet, stuffed animal toys that you children have, and even your pets such as dogs and cats.
To get rid of them out of your carpet you could buy a steam cleaner or hire a professional steam cleaning company that would company that would come to your house and thoroughly clean the carpet.
People also use the bedbug sprays that are available in stores, but many people don't seem to find these to be very effective and so they seek to use chemicals that are a lot stronger that they know will for sure get the job done.
It's best to call an exterminator when going the chemical route.
You will not be able to get rid of the bedbugs alone just by using some chemical to get rid of them, but you will also need to make sure that your home stays clean, because bedbugs reside in places that are often dirty or not kept up.
Check the insides of your pillows and the cracks of the bed frame hinges because these are places that are often missed when it comes to cleaning bed bugs.
These bugs can hide really well so just check everywhere and keep everything clean as mentioned before.
When in doubt, call a professional to get help with this project.
