Unless you are actively looking for bed bugs, you probably aren’t going to notice them. Because they like to hide in between the mattresses, and will blend into a dark colored sheet and comforter set, you typically won’t notice them unless you have them on your mind. When you do notice bed bugs, though, you will either see their bites on your body, or you feel one crawling on you. This is when you will flip the mattress up and notice them scurrying around in your bed. By the time that you notice you have bed bugs, there is a pretty good chance that there is a large colony built-up in there. The chance for you to do anything on your own is gone; you need to call out Exterminators in Fairfield County, CT who specialize in bed bugs.
The problem with trying to get rid of bed bugs from your mattress with alcohol-based treatments that you find at the store is that they are not going to penetrate deep enough to kill all of the bugs, or their eggs. The only way to make sure that everything living in your mattress is killed is to heat it with direct heat to at least 120-degrees. Professional Exterminators in Fairfield County, CT have to tools to pull this off; you don’t. Turning up the heater in your room will not do the job.
In addition to calling out professionals like Garrie Pest Control LLC to rid your mattress of bed bugs, you also must thoroughly clean your room to make sure that the bugs are gone. This includes wiping down all surfaces and vacuuming the carpet. All clothing, including items in your closet, need to be either washed in warm water, or put out in a black trash bag on a sunny day to make sure that all beg bugs are killed by the heat. Bed bugs can live in clothing, and if one does not treat their clothing after heating their bed, they may find the infestation back in a matter of days. It is better to be safe than sorry.
