How To Fight Bed Bugs

If you think you have bed bugs check the carpet, linens and the whole bed frame, bed bugs are never far from there host (you). Check everything within a 30ft radius of your bed.

Look for nymphs and shed skin remember though that you are seeing for something that is 1mm total in distance and is probably translucent. The bugs go through many dissimilar stages before they come to be adults and are very hard to see before that.

If you cannot find them by optic inspection, you can use the old tape trick to find them. Take a roll of packing tape and tape the lowest of your bedpost and frame rails and all along your baseboards colse to your bed. You will find nymphs and eggs if you have an infestation. If you find anything that looks like dirt or smudges on the tape after a few nights you need someone else trick to catch them in action.

Bring a flashlight to bed with you. Wait until it has been dark for at least 30 minutes. Then slowly get the flashlight and shine it under the covers where you have been getting marks on your body. These bugs are very small but you will see what looks like dirt running away from you.

Bed bugs are very robust creatures and have been known to go over 500 days without a meal. If you have them, getting rid of them is someone else report I will cover later. Trust me when I tell you that you are out of your league in exterminating them.
