4 steps to clear your couch of bed bugs
  • We live in an age when many of the species in the
    planet
  • are fast receding to extinction( a report says
    that 2/3rd of
  • the earths wild animals would be gone by 2020).
    So when
  • its important that we do our best for
    conservation efforts its
  • also ironic that there are certain living things
    present
  • maybe not wild animals but annoying and sometimes
    a
  • danger to health-which we would go out of our way
    to
  • eliminating from our homes. The bed bug is one
    living
  • thing which certainly falls in this category.
  • So here are 4 steps bed bugs control from your
    couch

3
1.Begin with the furnishings
  • If you have upholstered chairs etc. then the
    first thing to do is to remove all the
  • seat cushions. Also from the couch, all the
    removable cushions ought to be
  • removed. Once the covers are stripped off, wash
    and then dry them at the
  • highest setting on your machine. If exposed for
    90 minutes or more to a
  • temperature of 45 degrees Celsius, the bed bugs
    would die. But bed bug eggs
  • can be more resilient. They can be eliminated
    only if you expose them to 48
  • degrees for an hour and a half. If youre unsure
    as to how hot the dryer gets, you
  • should run the dryer for a minimum of 90 ,
    minutes. The cushions can be run
  • through the dryer if they fit. Otherwise, they
    should be set aside for steaming.

2.Vacuum
  • Vacuuming alone wouldnt clear the house of beg
    begs but its still effective as
  • vacuuming can suck up quite a large number of bed
    bugs and eggs, thus
  • keeping their count low. Also, stuff like shed
    skins and faecal matter which
  • belonged to the bed bugs would be cleared in the
    process. Using an
  • attachment is a good idea since it will help you
    vacuum thoroughly every crack
  • and crevice in the sofa. Pay particular attention
    to the seams and also the
  • edges and the corners. After vacuuming, the
    vacuum bag should be placed in a
  • sealed plastic bad and should be disposed
    immediately.

3.Apply steam
  • You can opt to get a home steam cleaner that
    would help you get rid of some of
  • the bed bugs on the couch. Usually, such cleaners
    would produce steam hot
  • enough to eliminate the bed bugs. In fact, the
    steam could be hot enough to
  • destroy the eggs. Only, make sure that you dont
    get in the way. Also, many of
  • these cleaners come with a warranty, so make sure
    you get one that comes
  • with that provision.

4. Spray them to death, if bugs still remain
  • Unless the infestation is particularly bad, the
    first three steps should take care of the bugs.
  • But of some of them persist, you can spray them
    off the couch. Heck, you can spray
  • them off the existence! It takes about two weeks
    of continual treatment for the eggs to be
  • eliminated if you are using a chemical spray.
    However, the better option is to use a
  • natural spray since its safer for everyone at
    home. Commercial variants of such
  • natural sprays are easily available.
