Bed Bugs Shoes Treatment

Bed bugs can become a major problem in homes and bring about health problems. Statistics show that the numbers of bed bug infestations continue to rise each year, making it important for all homeowners to be aware and prepared.

One way to prevent spreading bed bugs is through proper hygiene and cleaning routines, especially when helping someone with bed bug issues move out. For example, one study revealed that nearly 80% of people had never seen or heard of cleaning their shoes after helping someone with bed bug issues move out - this statistic demonstrates how important awareness around this topic is.

To effectively prevent the spread of bed bugs via your shoes: use a vacuum cleaner to clean off any debris from the soles and uppers; use warm soapy water and a soft-bristled brush scrubbing into the seams and joints of your shoes; spray down your shoe with rubbing alcohol before allowing them to air dry overnight (the alcohol helps dislodge any eggs stuck onto your shoe).

For more severe cases, it's best practice to dispose of any clothing/shoes/items immediately instead having them contaminate other items inside your house. It might also be worth considering replacing a mattress if you think it has been exposed or contaminated by an infestation (depending on severity). By following these steps you can reduce chances of infection while taking measures towards prevention too!

When it comes to moving people with bed bugs, it is essential that everyone involved cleans their shoes afterwards. Studies show that up to 95 percent of bed bug infestations are caused by individuals physically carrying them from one place to another. This is why vacuuming your shoes after use is the safest and surest way of getting rid of any possible eggs or larvae particles clinging onto fabric surfaces.

After vacuuming, steam cleaning or a laundry washing machine should be used immediately for two cycles on all fabrics with water temperatures between 120-140°F (or 48-60°C). If unable to do a dryer cycle afterwards, then use an insecticide spray containing active ingredients such as permethrin or pyrethrins in order to neutralize remaining live insects. Remember to follow product instructions before applying these sprays directly onto fabrics! Keep your footgear away from others until you have completed all necessary decontamination processes for safety purposes.
