What to do if you are bitten by bed bugs

Bed bugs are also known as bedbugs, which have a great impact on human health. They will bite the body, cause skin infections, cause allergies, and spread diseases. If you are bitten by pests, you can apply fluocinolone ointment for anti-inflammatory treatment. The key is environmental prevention and control. You should pay attention to indoor cleanliness. Once bed bugs are found, you should immediately use certain methods to kill the pests.

Environmental prevention

To prevent the invasion of foreign bed bugs, we should pay attention to environmental management, keep the environment clean and tidy, and prevent the breeding of bed bugs. The luggage, furniture and other items of outsiders or those returning from outside should be checked. When traveling or moving, luggage and old furniture should also be carefully checked to avoid the spread of bed bugs. If bed bugs are found, effective measures should be taken in a timely manner to prevent nymphs, adults and eggs from being brought in.

Controlling breeding and habitats to eliminate bed bugs mainly involves maintaining good environmental hygiene, improving environmental quality, and eradicating bed bugs’ habitats. For example, gaps in the walls and floors of houses where bed bugs can hide and breed can be sealed with lime, cement, etc., and the walls should be painted regularly; clothes, quilts, bed sheets, mosquito nets, etc. should be washed and dried frequently; in summer, bed boards, tables, chairs, mats, etc. can be moved outside to be exposed to the sun and turned over frequently to prevent bed bugs from breeding and living conditions.

Physical prevention

Manual killing involves constantly knocking on bed frames, kang mats, bookcases, mattresses, etc. to shake the bed bugs down from their hiding places and then kill them. Bed bugs hiding in cracks in walls, ceilings, and floors can be picked out and killed using long needles, wire, and other tools.

Bed bug nymphs can be killed in just 15 minutes, while adults and eggs require 1 hour to be completely killed. Therefore, bed bugs of all ages and eggs can be quickly killed by using gaps in bed boards, straw mats, bookcases and furniture. Move slowly and repeat several times to kill it completely.

Steam sprinkler irrigation can be done with a variety of steam generators. The steam pressure causes steam to spray out from the small holes in the nozzle to kill bed bugs and eggs in the crevices.

Exposure to sunlight In the summer, you can expose clothes, beds, cupboards, etc. in the sun for a few hours and turn them over in time to kill the bed bugs by the high temperature or by crawling out.

Chemical control

If there are bed bugs on the wall, it is best to apply the medicine where the bed board touches the wall. This will help the bed bugs come into contact with the medicine as they crawl back and forth, thereby improving the insecticidal effect. The method does not require any apparatus and is simple to make, convenient to use and easy to carry. It also has a certain killing and repelling effect on other reptile health pests.

Residual spraying: Sprinkle evenly on floor cracks, bed boards, furniture seams, etc. Use emulsions and other formulations to apply to the gaps in walls, closets, and bed boards. This method has a lasting killing effect on bed bugs, has a wide range of equipment to choose from, is easily accepted by the public, and is economical and convenient to kill bugs.
