Finding bed bugs can be scary. But do not panic. If you act fast and do the right things, you can get rid of them. Here is what to do if you find bed bugs in your home.
First, do not move things around. Bed bugs spread by hiding in furniture, clothes, and bags. If you move things from one room to another, you might spread the bugs. Keep everything in the room where you found them until you have a plan.
Check all the rooms. Bed bugs can travel. Check your bedroom, living room, and other areas. Look in mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, headboards, and furniture cracks. Look for small brown bugs, tiny white eggs, and small dark spots on your sheets and mattress.
Wash and dry everything on high heat. Bed bugs cannot survive high heat. Take all your clothes, sheets, and curtains and wash them in hot water. Then dry them on the highest heat setting for at least 30 minutes. The heat will kill bed bugs and their eggs.
Do not use bug bombs or foggers. These products do not work well on bed bugs. They can actually make the problem worse by scattering the bugs to other rooms. Save your money and call a pro instead.
Call a professional. Bed bugs are very hard to get rid of on your own. They hide in tiny cracks and can live for months without feeding. A professional knows where to look and how to treat them. They use special products and equipment that work much better than store-bought sprays.
