How to Eliminate Bed Bugs Permanently

Important Warning

Bed bugs are one of the most difficult pests to control. Don't attempt self-treatment without consulting professionals to avoid spreading the problem or developing pesticide resistance.

What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are small, brown insects that feed on human blood while sleeping. They can live for several months without food and hide in the smallest cracks and crevices.

Signs of Bed Bug Infestation

Small blood spots on sheets
Small black spots (bug feces) on bedding
Sweet musty odor in the room

Empty all drawers and closets
Wash all clothes and bedding in hot water (60°C)
Dry everything on highest heat possible

Vacuum all surfaces and corners

Phase 2: Professional Treatment (Days 2-3)
