Get Rid of Bed Bugs Using Natural Methods

My Favorite Tools!

But one of my favorite and most effective ways to get rid of bed bugs combines several methods.  It can give you instant relief from these bugs.

This method is based on the fact that bed bugs are for the most part nocturnal.

In other words they like to feed on you during the night – usually when you are sleeping.  They do this so they can feed undisturbed.  Their favorite time to feed is just before dawn when our sleep is deepest.

So your bed should be the first area that you treat.  When I have an infestation it usually starts with a few bites when I am sleeping.

The sooner you treat the fewer bugs that will be in your home.  This makes it easier to get rid of the bedbugs and treaatments will be more effective.

So I make sure to start with a mattress enclosure.  This will ensure that any bugs that are infesting the mattress, box springs and pillows get trapped.

This will make sure that the bugs get encased and trapped where they can’t get to me.  By doing this over time they will die out.

Next I protect my be using bed risers and diatomaceous earth to create a fortress the bed bugs can’t penetrate.

By creating a no-go zone around my bed it makes the bed bugs go away or die because they can’t feed on me!

Then, and only then do I treat the rest of the room(s).  I check for the bugs throughout my home.  Then I make sure to treat all the areas where I find the bugs.
