How to control Bed Bugs
Bed bugs can be scary as you have seen in our previous article about the woman who got bit over 600 times.
Here’s an excerpt from Harvard that could help you control bed bugs:
The first step in control is to eliminate the possibility of bed bugs physically climbing over a mattress or bed to feed. Pull the bed away from shelving or the wall and coat the legs of the bed with a band of Vaseline or mineral oil about 2 inches wide. Use effective means to prevent or exclude bed bugs from the sleeping area. This could include keeping a zone around the bed “bed bug-free”by careful examination and removal of bed bugs and by caulking cracks and by placing a barrier of chalk or silica aerogel around the bed at floor level. Double-sided carpet tape may be effective in trapping bed bugs and excluding them from sleeping areas.
