Is It Possible To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs Completely?

Bed bugs can drive you up the wall. What makes this problem even worse is when you’re forced to repeatedly deal with the problem. If you’ve been infested more than once, you’ll know exactly what we mean. At this point you may also be wondering, is it actually possible to get rid of bed bugs for good?

How to get rid of bed bugs once and for all

There are three steps to doing this. First, you want to deal with your current infestation. You also want to make sure that every single bed bug is removed from your property. To do this, avoid methods like fumigation. This often leaves behind eggs, that then hatch into new bed bugs. What you want to go for are heat treatments. This method is scientifically proven to destroy 100% of all bed bugs. Once you’ve had this treatment, there will no longer have these bugs in your home. That isn’t enough though. To get rid of bed bugs for real, you also have to prevent them from coming back.

To do this you need to pest proof your home. You see, bed bugs often move in from an adjacent building. This is especially true if you live in a flat.

You home must become a fortress into which no bug can penetrate. This is a difficult task to get right, so if you’d like help, don’t be afraid to reach out to us.
