Beyond disrupting our sleep, bed bugs can become a maddening presence that invades our homes and personal space. These minuscule nocturnal pests leave behind itchy bites and a persistent sense of unease. In this article, we delve into the realm beyond sleep, and let’s explore the effective ways to get rid of them.
Regularly clean mattresses, sheets, pillowcases, and pillow covers by washing them in hot water and drying them at high temperatures. Bed bugs cannot survive in temperatures above 46 degrees Celsius, so using a washing machine or dryer at 60 degrees Celsius or higher is recommended to ensure elimination.
Use natural bed bug products to spray on clothing, curtains, bedding, etc. These products do not contain harmful chemicals, are environmentally friendly, and pose no harm to humans.
Bed bugs dislike the scent of lavender, lemongrass, and peppermint. You can add a few drops of these essential oils to your bedsheets and pillowcases, or place lavender sachets or dried lemon peels on the bed to repel bed bugs.
Bed protectors made from natural materials have effective mite and bed bug prevention functions. They can prevent bed bugs from entering mattresses and pillows, and fully encase bedding, reducing the risk of bed bug infestation. For example, the Hefel Dust Mite Pillow Protector, extra dense cotton twill to prevent dust mites, these sumptuously soft pillow protectors are coated with an aloe vera finish for extra comfort. These protectors are lightweight and portable, making them convenient for travel and keeping you away from bed bugs in different accommodation settings.

Keep the room clean and tidy by regularly vacuuming and cleaning floors, carpets, and furniture, which may harbor bed bugs.
Apply residual powder in hidden areas and crevices, such as bed frames and baseboards. Bed bugs will carry the powder back to their nesting areas, spreading the insecticide to other individuals. Diatomaceous earth (DE) powder, a natural option recommended by Consumer Council and Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, can penetrate the bodies of bed bugs and cause them to dehydrate, particularly effective against adult bugs.
Pre-emptively add some insecticide to the collection bag of the vacuum cleaner to kill the bed bugs trapped inside. Pay attention to vacuuming areas such as wallpapers, walls, bed frames, wardrobes, clothing, bedding, sofas, and curtains to capture any escaping bed bugs.
