The first thing to do is to make sure that there is a bed bug infestation. There is nothing to distinguish bite marks left by bed bugs from bite marks left by other insects like mosquitoes. So in order to make sure that there is a beg bug infestation the following methods can be used. Observe whether there are distinctive reddish fecal spots and marks left by the bedbugs on garments such as bed clothes or mattresses. Also look for eggs or skins shed in the process molting, in crevices and other places. For exact identification captured bed bugs can be compared with reference images available online from various sources.
There is no simple answer to the question, what is the best bed bug treatment? Treatments may vary according to the level of infestation observed. However while various methods can be used to control the bed bugs, the ultimate aim should be total elimination. The following procedures can be carried out in most cases to eliminate them. Sometimes not all of them may be required. Once the infestation is ascertained, beg bug treatment can start. This would include several processes performed one after another or separately.
All the unnecessary clutter in the house should be removed so that the amount of hiding places available to bed bugs is reduced. Items removed in this process should be inspected, cleaned, and if required applied with insecticide and heat treatment. Bed clothes and other garments that show signs of infestation or could have been infested, and if they are reusable, should be laundered using hot water. If they cannot be laundered for some reason, they should be placed in a clothes dryer at a high temperature.
Any items that cannot be cleaned in any of the above ways and cannot be treated with insecticide and heat should be discarded, after clearly marking them as bug infested. After clearing the furniture and garments, the premises should be inspected and vacuumed after scraping the bed bug hiding places to dislodge them. Vacuum bag should be sealed and removed from premises. Collected refuse should be sealed and disposed. Then an approved insecticide with proven track record should be applied to all places where there were signs of bed bugs. Afterwards unnecessary crevices and holes should be caulked thoroughly so that they cannot be used again.
