You awaken in the morning and find out that your body is riddled with scarlet welts that very itchy, and you puzzled as to where you came by them. This is sad news. In your most vulnerable moment, an enemy decided to pounce. The rashes and weals are signs that a bed bug came on your sleeping form and took to feasting on your blood. If you awaken with weals all over your body, it could mean that you now share living quarters with a bed bug (or an army of bed bugs) that hides in the dark crannies of your room and waits until you are deep in slumber to come out and snack on your blood.

To get rid of these stealthy bugs, locating their hide outs is quite essential. This would help you figure out an effective strategy of eradicating them and take precautions against their re-entry. This can be done either on your own or with the support of a competent pest control company.

To start the bed bug elimination process you must carry out a thorough vacuum and steam cleaning of your house, including beddings, carpets and furniture items. You should also ensure a vigorous cleaning of all your bed and pillow sheets at a high temperature, which will kill any remaining bed bugs and their eggs that might be present in them. Scrubbing off floors and other solid surfaces with a brush and a cleaning liquid helps in wiping off traces of bed bug eggs scattered here and there.

Once you have finished the cleaning, you must make sure that you throw away all the waste accumulated while cleaning far away from your residence, so that the bed bugs do not have any way to get into your house again. Having done that, plug all holes, cracks and openings around pipes, mopboards and other entry points into your house.

It is advisable that you use natural and organic pest control measures in the bed bugs extermination process and avoid hazardous pesticides or chemical solutions, which can prove to be harmful if they come in contact with your personal items. Basic sanitation and hygiene habits, linked with constant vigilance, is a good method in preventing bed bug invasions.
