Best Way To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs Home Remedies

Hey this is Jason acres with Green Acres pest control again. I appreciate you watching my video this is long-awaited how to get rid of bed bugs or how to find bed bugs if you may have them. Ah this is a box spring I've already tilted it up to show you because y'all don't want to watch me you know pick up a bed or anything like that. Trust me it's not a pretty sight but anyway this is the bottom of a box spring this is an older box spring and it's actually got Springs in it. So what you want to do is you flip it up now let's just going to tell how to find bed bugs but also it's going to be how to get rid of them.



 When you find them now this little piece of felt here ah that covers the bottom of your box spring you see it's got these staples all around the edges staple it on now I would advise just taking this off it doesn't really perform any I mean correct me if I'm wrong down in the comments if I'm wrong or not but I don't believe this does anything as far as structural for your box spring at all the only thing this does is keep if you've got an older box spring that's got some maybe some cotton or some fiber inside it keeps it from falling out it also keeps cats from getting underneath it, if they would like to get sometimes I'd like to get up underneath these things and lay inside them.


So what I would advise you do if if you've got on a box spring like this and you do have bed bugs and you find that the bed bugs are living around these then you'll want to take this off and treat around these staples now the cut the chemicals are particular you have to make sure you read your label make sure that you're getting the right pesticide for the job that bed bugs are actually on the label and that you're not miss applying chemical because you don't want to make yourself sick it's gonna go on your box spring some chemicals are even labeled to use directly on your mattress you don't want to use the wrong pesticide on your mattress or on your box spring because you don't want to make yourself sick you are going to be laying on it now you of course you have to take all your sheets if you have any bed bugs on your beds or anything you want to make sure you take those off before you do this. This is the bear box spring that's what you have to have in order to be able to treat for the bedbugs now there's a seam right here this has got a little messed up spring here on this box spring but it's got a seam right here and you can fold that up and sometimes the bedbugs will hide.



Now this bed doesn't have ba-caw bedbugs but you can peel that back and you can sometimes find them around there if you don't see them around these staples so any way you want to treat those areas make sure you treat the seams always pay very close attention to the seams those are the places the bedbugs are going to retreat to they're the places that are going to try to hide and like I said you could peel this part open and treat all up inside the box spring all around inside here on the wood slats and everything as far as bedbug chemicals go they're pretty lenient when it comes to the box spring itself because you know people don't lay on the box spring, they lay on the mattress and so you can get away with treating a lot more thoroughly on a box spring than a mattress and so anyway let's get down here and I'll show you this bed all the way down where the frame. You've got the frame right here it's bolted right to the headboard now the bed bugs like to hide in this little groove there's called crack right here where the frame meets the headboard they will also hide now this bent headboard here is for a queen-size bed but it's also for a full-size bed if you notice you've got an extra set of drill holes and an extra slat here so it will work with a full-sized bed as well.



You want to make sure you check these slits make sure there's nothing in those are these little drill holes and of course the foot that's this bed itself doesn't actually, have a footboard but you'll want to check those places and make sure that the bedbugs are not living in those and also where the SLAs going together in the middle, you've got these two members on slats right here and there's a crack where the two slats doing together bedbugs will hide in there you can use something like an aerosol they make a special aerosol for bedbugs you can spray in these cracks and you kill the bedbugs I advise using a portable vacuum cleaner if you've got one handy um and you know suck up any live or dead bedbugs in the process just so you can eliminate those as a problem because you don't want any live bedbugs that you know if you kill them all, while you're here you take care of the most of the problem then hopefully as far as a residual problem later on down the road you've eliminated all of your issues with bedbugs so anyway ah that's really about it, it's just a lot of heavy lifting a lot of grunt work and if you can deal with lifting your beds and also, the same thing applies for a couch know if I mentioned that earlier um a lot of times people will go out and they will buy a sofa used it's a really common to find bedbugs in a sofa they have that same piece of felt just like on this bed right here on the bottom of a sofa so you want to take that back and you want to treat around those staples as well and up inside the sofa frame to make sure that you don't have any more bedbugs in your sofa there is no reason to throw away your sofa or your bed or your boxspring you can eliminate bed bugs in your home without throwing your furniture away I know a lot of exterminators like to try to force people into throwing away their furniture and getting rid of their personal possessions just because of they don't want to worry with you know the problem of a call back now it does happen sometimes you do have to go back and treat a second or third time it's just the way they are the way they breed the way they reproduce bedbugs do not need a blood meal they can go over a year without one actually there was a recently within the last couple years there was a scientist and if I can think of his name, I'll link it in the description below but there's a scientist that actually did a research on bedbugs and was able to get them to for three years without a plug Mila that's a really long time and of course this is under laboratory results not actually in the field but they can the point is is that they can go a long time without a blood meal and if the chemical is a repellant and they don't want to crawl out and go through it they will wait until the chemical gets weak to when they can come out without dying you know to get on you invite you so you want to keep that in mind with your exterminators that are doing liquid the application I don't of course if you if you check my channel and I'll leave this in the description too not just in the description but in the end nuts and a little box there um I don't agree with heat treatments for bedbugs I agree with a chemical application I find they work the best and I know a lot of customers that I have worked for that have had heat treatments that have failed they've hired me for liquid application and it works it is a lot of work it's a lot of manual labor when you're having to come in and basically rearrange someone's house when you figure every bedroom you know they got two-three bedrooms two three beds and you're having to lift those beds especially if it's a king-size bed or something it's just a lot of work a lot of hard work so and he is not you know I mean I don't want to say he isn't working it's you know doing a heat treatment it's a lot of work involved in heat treatments to you know dragging hoses and stuff like that and hooking up our propane heaters and electric heaters and stuff but you know just so you know liquid applications the way to go it's what I've done for years it's what's worked for me and if you are if you liked this video give me a thumbs up and if you really liked it subscribe to my channel and I hope you're able to catch all of my other how-to videos also check me out on Facebook I've got a Facebook page Green Acres PC well my website websites Green Acres PC calm my Facebook's Green Acres pest control LLC I'll hit me up anytime I'm always open to help you out if you need help and I will be talking to you later Up next
