Many of us must have heard about bed bugs and the nuisances caused by them. Some of you might have even experienced, or are experiencing it and are taking whatever you can to remove them. But, this is not the best way to deal with it. Just like in the case of diseases, prevention is always better than cure. And this prevention is easy when carried out in the right way. Bed bugs grow in numbers very rapidly, which is why you should make your house ready for bug treatment, and take immediate action.
Inspect your house
You should have a bed bug search throughout the house to locate bed bugs and their eggs. They generally hide in furniture cushions, bed frames, cracks on the floor, under the mattress etc, and inspecting these places will make bug control treatment easier. If you discover the presence of bugs in your house, a complete bug control treatment should be carried out with the help of professionals. But be sure to remove as much as fabrics from an item before the pest control treatment, as this will make sure that they don’t collect bugs during the pest control treatment.
Avoid messy cupboards, drawers and other clutters
Clutters are basically the safehouse of bed bugs. If not removed, bugs find this as an easy place to chill, and you may not even know this, because you never tried to keep these places neat. This makes bug control treatment more difficult, and may even lead to a situation that bed bugs still come out after a full bug control treatment. In such cases, always make sure that all the things are at least 18 inches off the ground, as the bugs may come out from places you won’t even imagine. It is better to avoid clutter, so that there is no hiding place for bugs, which will make the whole process easy. Vacuuming your place before the bug treatment will also help to remove the bugs that rest in furniture cushions, mattresses etc.
Clean up holes, cracks and dark areas
Holes, cracks and other inaccessible areas harbour bed bugs silently. Since these are not places of everyday concern, we may not consider them until we experience bed bug presence. It is also recommended to clean these cracks and holes before bed bug treatment, so that the hiding ones come out. This will also make the treatment effective so that you can further start from ‘bug-zero’. It is also recommended to repair the unwanted or accidental cracks after a full bug treatment, so that you can avoid the task of intense vacuuming before the next bug treatment. As discussed above, there is a lot to do to make your house ready for a complete bed bug treatment. With the help of a wide range of avoiding and cleaning measures, you can make the bug treatment in your house more effective. You may find a number of professional services offering pest control in Dubai. But be careful to choose those who not only do their service effectively, but also educate you with more tips and tricks to control these pests. Because, that’s what the most trustable ones do!
