Cheap Way To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are a nuisance. Getting rid of them can be expensive. But, there are some cheap ways to do it. A study found that 70% of infestations can be treated without expensive chemical treatments.

Hot water, a steam cleaner, and a vacuum cleaner are effective against bed bugs. Vacuuming carpets, mattresses and furniture regularly helps control them. Washing clothes in hot water for 30 minutes kills any bed bugs hiding in the fabric. Replace mattress covers or sheets regularly to keep them away. Put barriers under beds or furniture that touches the floor to keep them out of your home.

Finally, get rid of clutter in bedrooms and living rooms so they won't have anywhere to hide.
