The Simple Method to Eliminate Them
While there are many chemical sprays on the market, one natural and effective method is diatomaceous earth. This fine powder is harmless to humans and pets but deadly to bedbugs. It works by dehydrating them until they die.
How to Use It:
- Remove bedding and wash all sheets, pillowcases, and blankets in hot water, then dry on the highest heat setting.
- Sprinkle diatomaceous earth generously around mattress seams, bed frames, baseboards, and any cracks where bedbugs may hide.
- Leave it for at least 48 hours before vacuuming thoroughly.
- Repeat once a week until you no longer see signs of bedbugs.
For extra protection, use mattress and pillow encasements to trap any survivors and prevent re-infestation. Regular inspection and cleaning will keep your home bedbug-free.
