How To Effectively Treat & Get Rid Of Bed Bugs

Vacuuming The Infested Area

Any area infested with bed bugs needs to be thoroughly vacuumed. When vacuuming the infested area, individuals should use a vacuum with a hose attachment as this allows them to get into small nooks and crevices where bed bugs love to thrive and hide. Avoid using the bristle attachment while vacuuming the infested area as bed bugs can cling to the bristles and spread to other areas. Close off the infested area, and thoroughly vacuum everything, including mattresses, furniture, and carpets. When finished vacuuming, take the vacuum outside to remove or empty the contents. Make sure to seal the contents from the vacuum securely to ensure the bed bugs and eggs remain contained. Thoroughly clean the vacuum and all attachments used outside with hot water to kill any remaining bed bugs and their eggs. For best results, vacuum the infested area more than once. If individuals are concerned about possibly re-infesting their environment with bed bugs with the vacuum, they may want to dispose of the vacuum afterward.
