How to Kill Bed Bugs

So you want to know how to kill bed bugs?  Bed bugs are a big problem for many people.  If you think you are being victimized by these pesky little creatures, then you may have already obsessed about getting rid of them.

Killing these guys and destroying the eggs they lay is the only way to get your life back to normal.

Bed bugs are pests that hide inside your mattress and box spring during the day as well as in the cracks and crevices of your bedroom floor and walls...  While you are asleep at night, they crawl out of their favorite hiding places and feast on your blood. 

Some people may develop an allergic reaction to the saliva that bed bugs leave from their bites.  Medical treatment can control the allergic outbreak, but the best course of action is to exterminate bed bugs before this can happen.

Getting rid of bed bugs isn't easy or fun...  Buying a bug spray is the cheapest solution if your bed bug infestation isn't widespread.  But, before you use a bug spray you need to make sure bed bugs are the cause of your bites.

When you notice a live flat oval shaped wingless insect about ¼ inches long running by, try to capture it.  Look for photos or illustrations of bed bugs online and see if what you caught appears the same.  Once you positively identified these pests as bed bugs, you can then plan their extinction.

Bed bugs like clutter.  So you'll need to clean-up or re-organize your room to make it neat to reduce places for them to hide.  Vacuum your bed, floors and furniture.  Buy and use bug spray that says it will kill bed bugs.  We reviewed a few products that users say works.

You may think you need a fogger, but the best way is to spot treat by spraying inside and around those cracks and crevices on the walls and floors where bed bugs hide.  When spraying your mattress, let it dry out before putting the sheets back on.

Getting rid of bed bugs may take some time and effort...  But if a back to normal life without bites and allergic reactions is important to you, then you really don't have any other choice.  Sprays or insecticides are probably the most effective way to kill bed bugs and their eggs and to prevent any future infestations.
