Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are horrible! If your home is infested by this stinky insects, you will not feel comfortable living in the house anymore. Once bed bugs are in your house, you will lose comfort of sitting in your sofa or any other chair, your sleep will be in lack of quality because bed bugs are in your bed too (yes, this insects are named bed bugs primarily for this reason = bugging your bed?). The worst things about bed bugs is they spread like crazy and can just live without eating for months and guest what..., they only eat human blood. That's pretty annoying. Usual places where bed bugs lay their eggs are furniture (especially under the mattresses or couches because it is near the food supply – meaning you), clothing and even pets and pet supplies.

How to Kill Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are not just a discomfort, but a serious health hazard as well. They live in your home and feed on human blood so they are not to be taken lightly. These little buggers can bring all sorts of diseases, skin rashes and allergic reactions so if you have any reason to suspect that they could be living in your home or if you notice any symptoms of bed bugs you should act immediately to get them terminated as quickly and efficiently as possible.

First, you need to do a thorough inspection of all parts of your home to detect the source and to see how spread they are and how serious the condition is. If your home has clutter and messy corners witch you do not clean on a regular basis, now is the time to pay attention to that. It will be a lot easier to detect infested items.

You could always call exterminator but in my opinion, that's not wise to your privacy in your neighborhood. The other choice is to buy bed bugs spray from store and choose the product that environment friendly, safe for your children, non-toxic spray product that not only kill bed bugs but also kill their eggs simultaneously.

Bed bugs or Cimicidae is a small parasitic insect that feeds from human blood. Their number has been pretty much cut down in the late 1940s, but is becoming a larger problem again after 1995. An adult bed bug is 4-5 mm long and about 1,5mm wide. They are mostly brown color and have no wings, while a baby bed bug is lighter in color and of course smaller.
