Know Your Enemy <\/strong><\/p>\n

It is important that you get to know what you\u2019re up against. These little oval insects feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals. Humans are warm-blooded, ergo, they get fed on. These can also live in any area in your home, not just your bedroom. So check out for them in those tiny cracks and textiles.<\/p>\n

Bed bugs love to infest box springs, mattresses, and bed frames, though. It\u2019s because they are nocturnal creatures that are most active during the night.<\/p>\n

Fortify Your Home <\/strong><\/p>\n

Very first on the list is this \u2013 do not buy second-hand furniture<\/em>. Invest only in the best kinds of mattresses and be sure to protect these with a cover that will encase the box springs and the mattress itself. High-quality encasement is able to resist tearing, thus, the possibility of a bed bug infestation.<\/p>\n

Say Goodbye to Clutter <\/strong><\/p>\n

Treat clutter like an enemy. And this enemy of yours is the best friend of bed bugs since they tend to live in dirty areas. Be wary of those crevices and cracks but be more wary of keeping the clutter to zero. Plus, having less to zero clutter means the problem can be easier to solve when the exterminators finally come.<\/p>\n

Another way to keep your bedroom and the rest of your home clean is to frequently vacuum. While this is not a hundred percent effective in getting rid of bed bugs, still, it is an equipment that can capture majority of these pests\u2019 population.<\/p>\n

Vigilance in Laundering <\/strong><\/p>\n

You have to be very vigilant when you\u2019re sharing laundry facilities. Use plastic bags in transporting the items that are about to be washed. If there is already an infestation in your home, then be sure to use a new plastic bag when you go home.<\/p>\n

If you live in a multi-family facility, then be sure to isolate your space with door sweeps and sealing crevices and cracks. And if you can, invest in a mobile heating chamber in order to treat items that are probably infested.<\/p>\n

The Anti-Bed Bug Mattress<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now let\u2019s just be clear here. There isn\u2019t a single mattress that\u2019s a hundred-percent bed bug-free. It\u2019s because these insects can sleep in almost virtually anything \u2013 in seams, tufts, and even under your sheets.<\/p>\n

But, here\u2019s the thing, it has been observed that highly dense materials such as those used on latex and memory foams keep the bed bugs out of the center of the mattress. Also, it pays that you purchase a good cover for your mattress. The best covers can even help you spot an infestation (although, let\u2019s hope this is prevented rather than treated) and even contain them while waiting for the exterminators to arrive.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing \u2013 bed bugs hate certain chemicals and heat so you could go straightaway to professional extermination.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s Shop <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking of buying a memory foam mattress, then you have to know that there\u2019s a lot of them out there. The traditional memory foam<\/em> is the one that\u2019s designed to provide a cradling support that decreases stress on joints while also enhancing circulation.<\/p>\n

The open cell <\/em>type responds more quickly so you don\u2019t feel like sinking<\/em> when you lie down at night. The gel memory foam<\/em> is best at dispersing heat.<\/p>\n

You may also consider shopping for latex, high quality innerspring, and natural fiber mattresses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
