Bedbug generator

Using a bedbug cleaner is one of the most popular and safe ways to control these pests in your home. The problem of detecting and destroying “night bloodsuckers” in an apartment remains relevant for several millennia in a row, because bed bugs harassed people even in their primeval housing.

At what temperature do bugs die

Studies by scientists have shown that bedbugs die at a temperature + 45ºС, and at + 50 ° С their death occurs in a few seconds. Therefore, the question arose whether it is possible to kill bedbugs with steam. In recent years, electrical appliances such as steam cleaners and steam generators have become popular, which helped people come up with an improved way to control pests - the destruction of bedbugs with steam.

Important!

From heat and steam, not only adults die, but also the eggs parasites, which is a great advantage over other methods of control.

The only problem that remains is that not all furniture can be processed at this temperature, but other pest control products will come to the rescue.

Before you start processing the apartment, you should find everything places of accumulation of bugs, because if you leave at least one parasite alive, then breeding process will start again.

How steam generators work

A steam cleaner (steam generator) is a special device designed for domestic use with the aim of cleaning clothes, cleaning and disinfection of various things.

The device of the steam cleaner is based on the formation of steam when water is heated by a heating element. In the kit, various nozzles are attached to it, with their help you can direct a stream of hot air into narrow and inaccessible places in the room and the gaps in the furniture.

Cleaning the room with high temperature will not only help from bedbugs, but also destroy harmful viruses and bacteria.

Advantages and disadvantages of the steam method

Bedbug steam treatment has many advantages over other methods:

• steam cleaners are very common now, so you can buy them at any household appliance store or rent them;
• the method will allow you to get rid of parasites in your home for a small price;
• this method is the most environmentally friendly (no chemical and insecticidal drugs are used);
• hot steam treatment will allow to destroy insects on surfaces and objects on which chemical insecticides cannot be applied;

Disadvantages of using steam cleaners:

• a directed air stream with a high temperature is not able to penetrate a very narrow gap or pass through a dense fabric;
• bedbug eggs can be removed only at a close distance from the nozzle;
• steam consists of moist air and can harm furniture and some surfaces, disrupt their appearance.

To ensure the safety of objects, the interior and the person who uses the steam generator from bugs as a means of destroying them, you should know:

• when working, it is impossible to set the level of high humidity on the steam cleaner so as not to spoil the wall covering (wallpaper), fabric materials;
• no need to direct a strong stream of high temperature air onto wooden, especially varnished and plastic surfaces;
• it is forbidden to use steam cleaners near sockets and electrical appliances, as this can cause a circuit wiring;
• care must be taken not to accidentally burn yourself or a person standing nearby.

On a note!

Before starting the steam treatment, it is recommended to wrap the steam generator nozzle with a cloth so that strongly directed air does not blow off insects and their eggs.

Rules and instructions for processing

The main rule: to get rid of bedbugs, a stream of high temperature air must be sent directly to the parasite itself, then it will die in a few seconds.

Important!

To improve the quality of processing, you should choose a steam cleaner with high power. With small devices, the result may not be as effective.

In order to get rid of bugs with a steam cleaner, you need to know the general rules for its use:

1. Processing should begin with places of a large accumulation of insects: sleeping places (beds, sofas) and the area next to them, seams in upholstered furniture and mattresses, etc.
   

   

2. You should direct a stream of air with a temperature above 50 ° C along the baseboards around the perimeter of the room, frightened bugs will come out of the shelters, and they can be killed faster.
3. Separately, you need to process the rear walls of cabinets and other furniture, especially one that stands close to the berths.
4. You can take out bugs with steam on clothes or bedding, where insects like to hide, you should also process clothes from the closet.
5. “Steaming” is also necessary for curtains, carpets and other home textiles.
6. Before you start to remove bugs on upholstered furniture, you should study the instructions for it, because some surfaces can deteriorate due to the action of hot and humid air - then you should use a special aerosol with a spray;
7. For reliable disposal of parasites, the fight against bugs with a steam cleaner should be carried out regularly (weekly) until the moment when the parasites disappear forever. Repeated processing will kill new larvaethat hatched from the surviving eggs.

Bedbug Steam Cleaner Reviews

When I discovered at home bed bugs, She was simply terrified, because she always believed that they appear only in untidy and dirty rooms. First called a special service that performed professional processing chemistry. The smell in the apartment was incredibly ugly. I went over all the things and curtains, but the insecticide does not want to weather in any way. And then again these reptiles appeared. I was desperate, and then we were saved by a steam gun, which my husband bought in a hardware store. We processed all sofas and furniture, baseboards and carpets with a gun. Bedbugs all died! I am delighted, and most importantly - no nasty smell.
