Babina, the council helped me get rid of the bugs from the mattress
Homemade bed bugs are a nightmare, but you can fight them. Getting rid of them requires patience, regularity and often combinations of various methods. Most often they live at the seams of mattresses, frames, headrests, skirting boards, electric sockets, behind wallpapers, upholstered furniture, clothes and bedding. What do bed bugs look like? These are small, flat, oval insects, apple seeds (4-5 mm). They have a brown color to red, depending on whether they have recently drank blood. They spread easily through luggage, used furniture, clothes, and can also pass between apartments. They feed on the blood of people and animals, mainly at night, and their bite is easy to recognize. They are itchy red spots on the skin, often arranged in a line or group. When after the holidays I noticed that these terrible insects settled in my apartment, I quickly took advantage of the advice of my grandmother, who suggested how p. It turned out to be a hit.
I scattered this powder on the surface of the bed and vacuumed, and the bugs disappeared once and for all
One of the most effective is diatomaceous land. Diatomaceous soil is a natural powder that arises from diatoms, i.e. petrified remains of unicellular algae. How does diatomaceous soil work for bugs? Bed bugs passing through a layer of diatomaceous soil are scratched by microscopic edges. This damages their outer coating, causing moisture loss and drying. Diatomaceous soil does not work immediately, but gradually, within a few days. That’s why I scattered her on the surface of my bed, where I noticed bugs and after some time I dusted and the insects disappeared.
