How to kill Bed Bugs

Getting rid of Bed Bugs

Did you know that Bed Bugs hide during the day and come out at night when the lights are out?

They can hide in the corners of your carpet where it meets the wall, under your bed and even (commonly) in the electrical power sockets.

Sprinkle the Diatomaceous Earth powder around your bed where it meets the floor. Dust liberally using a Duster or Puffer is best. Dust the mattress and carpets and sprinkle the Diatomaceous Earth powder along the walls where the carpet joins the walls and add some extra under the power sockets. (bed bugs love to hide in power sockets for some reason) If you have a powder duster, you should also do under your bed and also along the top of any woodwork of your bed.

Leave DE in place as long as you can. Repeat until you no longer have a bed bug problem.

This may take weeks depending on the amount of bed bugs you have and how far they have spread through your house. Quick action can stop them spreading and being carried to other places.
