Bugs in the beds
This step is often not that easy. In fact, it is much easier to detect a bed bug bite to be sure that it is present in your bed.
At this point, you’re probably wondering what a bedbug bite looks like.
These are bites that leave bites behind, but often occur in a series or group, so they are not isolated bites. The places where such bites are often observed are on the legs or arms, but also on the back. They can often be confused with mosquito bites, as these bites are also red in color, cause slight swelling and, above all, itching.
In addition to watching your body for bites, it’s also a good idea to check your bed and pillows. In fact, these bugs tend to defecate after biting people and therefore leave behind dark spots that resemble pen dots. These are dark spots that are often found where we sleep.
Another factor that should not be taken for granted is the smell , which often accompanies the presence of bed bugs. When present, they usually give off a sweet or bitter odor and can often be smelled both on your clothing and in the infested room.
In short, there are real signs that such bed bugs could be in our bed and that can therefore worry us. Therefore, it is important to be careful and differentiate between them so that you can take all possible precautions to combat the infestation and get rid of bed bugs. At this point we can talk about the part that interests us the most. In other words, take action and understand how to do it.
Which precautionary measures should be taken: see below
Once you are sure there are bed bugs in your bed, it is important to act as quickly as possible to eliminate them. What should we do then? Here you will find some helpful tips.
Bed inspection: first useful tip
As already mentioned, various signs can tell us that there are bed bugs in the bed. Therefore, it is important to inspect the bed to see if there are any stains, i.e. where the bed bugs have defecated, or if you can smell the infestation.
Examine the bed
It is also important to check the seams of the mattress and pillows, as this is where bed bugs hide during the day. Therefore, it is important to understand where bed bugs occur.
Once this is done, you can move on to the next part.
Washing bed linen: another useful tip
Once it is determined that bed bugs are present, a thorough disinfection of bedding must be carried out to eradicate them. Therefore, it is important to put pillowcases, blankets, sheets and pillows in the washing machine to wash at high temperatures.
Blanket in the washing machine
It is generally recommended to wash them at at least 60 degrees to kill insects and the eggs they lay.
Once you’ve taken these precautions, your bed should be safe again and you should have killed both the existing bed bugs and the eggs. Therefore, it is important that you check your bed again after some time to ensure that there is no new bed bug infestation.
All of these measures save your sleep, but also your life, because a bedbug bite is anything but healthy. In fact, they are insects and can therefore infect and transmit infectious diseases. That’s why it’s important to always check your bed and prevent all of this from happening.
At this point you surely know what to do in these cases in order not to be caught by surprise and to avoid consequences that can be harmful even in the long term. In short: thanks to these measures you can say goodbye to bed bugs.
