How to Eliminate Bed Bugs Naturally
Bed bugs can be very persistent, but there are several effective natural remedies to get rid of them:
Vinegar and Baking Soda: Mix a small spoon of baking soda with vinegar and spray it on suspected areas like mattresses and bed frames. This mixture is toxic to bed bugs and helps repel them.
Extreme Temperatures: Bed bugs dislike both very cold and very hot temperatures. You can air out rooms in freezing weather or wash bedding and clothes in hot water (above 50°C) to kill them.
Essential Oils: Oils like peppermint, clove, lavender, neem, and tea tree have strong scents that repel or kill bed bugs. Spray diluted oils on mattresses and corners.
Alcohol Isopropyl: Spraying alcohol on infested areas can quickly suffocate bed bugs.
Diatomaceous Earth: This natural powder dehydrates bed bugs by absorbing their oils. Spread it around beds and cracks, leave it for 1-2 days, then vacuum.
Steam: Applying steam at around 180°C directly on bed bugs and their hiding spots kills them instantly.
Using these natural methods regularly and thoroughly can help eliminate bed bugs without harsh chemicals.
