none of us want to have uninvited guests in our homes. There is nothing more disgusting than insects! It is not uncommon for flies, flies, and mosquitoes to visit our homes. Worst of all, bed bugs, moths, and cockroaches may come, but that\’s another story! Sometimes you need to call in a professional, i.e., an extermination service. Let me offer some advice on how to prevent uninvited guests, with a particular focus today on bedbugs. Bedbugs don\’t say “cleanliness is half of health,” but they do help prevent parasites. Vacuum, mop, wash, and iron.
If you live in an apartment complex, prevention is often ineffective and should be done by a professional.
Bedbugs
.
You can bring these tiny bloodthirsty creatures home from vacation! Due to its size, you won\’t even notice it in your luggage. If you travel frequently, check the beds and mattresses in your guesthouse or hotel. Another precautionary measure is to bag all clothing and textiles when you return from vacation, then wash them on a high setting and iron them on an even higher setting.
Are there bedbugs in your neighborhood? This can also happen, especially if you live in an apartment complex! Again, sweep, vacuum, wash, iron, check mattresses, and use a steam cleaner to clean the seams, risers, and nooks and crannies of the room. Preventive spraying by an exterminator is also recommended.
Have you ever found bedbugs in your home or been bitten by them? A bite is almost indistinguishable from a mosquito bite, but if there is a bite mark on your body, action is needed! Smoke bombs, household sprays, and disinfectants are available, but professional spraying is recommended!
A final piece of advice! Be aware that used furniture and clothing can be harbored. If it is clothing, wash it immediately!
