Bedbugs: How to spot them and get rid of them before they invade?
It's public enemy number 1, the cause of your insomnia: I called the bedbugs.identify them well:
In all this panic, they could be mistaken for a midge.
They are brown and can be up to the size of an apple seed.
What they love: Coming out at night and feeding on your blood while you sleep peacefully (no, this is not the start of a horror movie scenario).
Our preventive advice:
When in doubt, there is no doubt! If you think you've seen some on your clothes, or just as a precaution, throw it in the washing machine at 60 degrees without going through the "start" box.
Because you can never be too careful, you put everything in the dryer , at the highest temperature, or in the freezer for 72 hours before you can wear your clothes again (yes, you will have to remove that packet of peas that you will never eat).
Another step is a general inspection of your apartment: bed, mattress, box spring, headboard, electrical outlet, sofa, and don't hesitate to move the furniture because a nest may be hiding there.
If you're going on vacation or sleeping elsewhere: don't open your suitcase right away; you should put it somewhere high up or in the bathroom if it's not wood-lined. And above all, inspect your room carefully! Otherwise, they'll invite themselves into your home when you get back. Welcome back, as they say!
If you unfortunately spot traces of blood, blackheads, or white eggs, we're sincerely sorry for you, but the battle is now underway. Vacuum thoroughly and consider the hot and cold cleaning steps. But the most effective solution will be to call in the professionals.
Courage and happy Hunger Games to all.
