How To Effectively Treat & Get Rid Of Bed Bugs

Scrubbing The Mattress

Mattresses are one of the most common places for bed bugs to hide and thrive. Thoroughly inspecting and scrubbing the mattress is vital to effectively treating and getting rid of bed bugs and their eggs. Complete a thorough inspection of the top, bottom as well as the sides and seams of the mattress to identify possible bed bugs. Use a stiff brush preferably with small bristles for scrubbing. The scrubbing helps free the bed bugs and their eggs from the mattress. After scrubbing the mattress, use a vacuum with a hose attachment to thoroughly remove the bed bugs and their eggs. Make sure to throw away the brush to avoid a possible bed bug re-infestation. Individuals may also consider purchasing a new mattress and dispose of the old one.
