Hopefully, you will never have to worry about a bed bug infestation, or the treatments that come with having one. There are many myths surrounding the treatment used to get rid of bed bugs, and if you ever find yourself battling them, you will want to know them all. For battling Bed Bugs Treatment in Canberra residents should follow the following tips.
DDT to Eliminate the Pests for Good
Many people think that this is an easy, and more importantly cheap, way to get rid of the bed bugs. However, there is no magic remedy for bed bug elimination, and that includes DDT. The environmental and health hazards of DDT are just too risky to even consider using this as a method to rid yourself of the pesky critters.
Treating them Yourself with Bug Bombs
Bug bombs actually work by releasing pesticides into the air. The bed bugs usually flee when the pesticide is released, so all you are doing is releasing dangerous chemicals into your home. The bed bugs will head for cover in the deepest corners of your home, so that you will have a hard time finding them again.
You have to Throw Away Your Mattresses and Bedding
It is not true that you have to throw away your mattresses and bedding. You just need to make sure that they are cleaned very well. You want to wash the bedding in very hot water, and dry it in hot water as well.
