  2. Insecticides have different effects on parasites. Most of them can destroy only adults and larvae and are not able to destroy the eggs. The use of such funds involves several repeated treatments.
  3. Bedbugs are afraid some smells, aromas can either scare them away for a while, or lure, but not destroy it.
  4. A certain category of drugs is designed for the contact action of an agent with an insect, for example, crayons, powders, dusts, therefore, count on the complete destruction of bedbugs in the apartment is not worth it.
  5. Bed bugs adapt very quickly to chemicals and the remedy that helped Aunt Glasha may be completely ineffective in your case.

To completely get rid of bloodsuckers in your apartment, you need detect all the places where bugs have accumulated - nests. One surviving female or several eggs is enough for the population to revive again in a matter of months.

Destroy by professional means

When contacting specialized services, company employees evaluate the extent of infection, specify whether a child, disabled person, pet lives in the apartment, be sure to ask questions about the presence of allergic reactions in all households. After that, based on wishes, financial opportunities, the following types of apartment processing are offered:

  • chemical treatment;
  • hot fog;
  • cold fog;
  • barrier protection.

Hot Mist Destruction

Hot fog is recognized as the fastest and most effective way. For its implementation, a thermal or thermomechanical generator of hot fog is used. The insecticidal mixture is heated to a temperature above 50 ° C by means of a device, is split into tiny particles ranging in size from 3 to 20 microns and sprayed in an infected room.

The active substance spreads throughout the room, including even the most inaccessible cracks for humans, in which bugs can hide.After some time, the substance settles and covers all surfaces with a film, from the contact with which the bloodsuckers die.

On a note!

Most parasites die instantly, since contact with hot aerosol vapor is fatal to them.

Professional generators heat the mixture to a temperature of 80-90 ° C, which provides instant destruction of nests, eggs, larvae. Due to the high temperature, the fog holds for a long time and allows you to destroy domestic bugs, which for a number of reasons did not die at the time of irrigation. The insecticidal cloud lasts from 3 to 6 hours, after settling it is necessary to wait another 3-4 hours and only after that you can start wet cleaning, after having aired the room. In the first days you can not wash the floors, skirting boards, walls. For safety reasons, it is necessary to thoroughly wash those items with which households come into contact most.

Despite the high penetrating ability of the drug, it is necessary prepare the apartment for processing: move the furniture away from the walls, provide access to the skirting boards, close windows and windows, remove bedding. No people or animals should be in the treated area. Carry out an independent hot mist treatment at home, irrational due to the high cost of the generator.

Feedback

“Bed bugs wound up in the apartment a year ago. In order to quickly get rid of the unwanted neighborhood, we turned to a specialized service. The staff advised us on a hot fog. The procedure itself lasted about 1.5 hours. Since you can’t enter the premises for 6 hours, we decided to spend the night with our parents. After returning home, they started cleaning, but on the advice of pest controllers the floors were not washed for 10 days. There were many dead bodies on the floor, especially near the skirting boards. After disinsection, the bugs were no longer seen. ”

Destruction of bugs by cold fog

Compared to traditional spray guns cold fog application has a greater effect on the destruction of bugs. In sprayers, the particle size reaches 100 microns, and in cold fog this value varies from 30 to 80 microns. Using a fog generator, a mixture of insecticides is sprayed into the room. Due to the small size of the active particles, the aerosol cloud does not settle for a long time, and chemicals penetrate into the smallest gaps and pores of materials. After processing the apartment with cold fog, you must leave it for several hours.

Feedback

«The reasons for the appearance of bugs in the apartment failed to find out. There is an assumption that the blood-sucking individual was brought from a business trip. In our city, the choice of specialized services is small and therefore, in order to get rid of bedbugs as soon as possible, we decided to call specialists from a private company. On the recommendation of employees, they chose cold fog treatment. In time, the process lasted about an hour. The disinfector left detailed instructions, what to do after bullyingof which I followed. The bugs disappeared, but the smell lasted for almost a month, so I advise everyone to specify which drugs will be used to destroy parasites. ”

Feedback

“After strange chains of bites appeared on the body, I suspected that bed bugs had appeared in the apartment. To dispel all doubts, I set an alarm for 5 in the morning. After the call, he woke up instantly, turned on the light and abruptly pulled off his blanket. The feeling of disgust and horror that I experienced when I saw several creatures on my body can not be described in words. Therefore, without any hesitation, immediately turned to a specialized service to speed up the process, went to private traders. The guys arrived the next day. They put on their hoodies in the apartment, so as not to provoke excessive interest of neighbors. For the processing of a 2-room apartment, I paid 1600 rubles. Within a month, not a single bug bothered me. Then he accidentally saw a half-dead, barely crawling bug on the wall and again called the pest control service. To my surprise, the second time they poisoned bugs for free. “A year has passed after that, and the bugs no longer bother me.”

Barrier protection

Barrier disinsection prevents insects from neighboring apartments, from the street through the balcony, that is, creates an exclusion zone for migratory bugs, cockroaches, mosquitoes. This effect is achieved by irrigation of the walls with special preparations containing repellents. Upon contact with the surface, they create an invisible film.

A peculiar chemical circuit can reduce the chances of pests from neighboring apartments, but the possibility of infection cannot be completely ruled out. The concentration of the agent may be insufficient for the death of the bug.

On a note!

If the parasite lived in an apartment and has already managed to acquire offspring, barrier protection will not harm him. In this case, only comprehensive measures to combat bloodsuckers are needed.

Preparations for barrier pest control do not exude odors. Active aroma can be felt within a few hours after barrier disinsection. Cost bedbug barrier protection fluctuates between 700-900 rubles for a one-room apartment.Many firms provide the service as a bonus or in combination with others to destroy pests.

Review of specialized firms in Moscow

State SES is the most durable company, the activity of which is related to the removal of pests, mold, disinfection and disinfection. Of the advantages, one can note the inexpensive price for services and high quality work. The big drawback is bureaucratic red tape. If you believe the reviews, in order to call the master and wait for the arrival of a specialist, you will need to stock up with remarkable patience and to beat the thresholds of the reception rooms. You can speed up the process when filing a collective application, especially if it contains complaints about allergy from bug bites.

Self destroy bedbugs

The most popular effective ways to destroy bugs:

  • application of high and low temperatures;
  • use of chemicals;
  • folk remedies.

Destruction of bugs using folk methods is ineffective. Herbal based products wormwoodLedum, tansy can only scare away pests for a short time, as well as vinegar solution, essential oils. Mixtures of turpentine, gasoline, ethyl alcohol and other flammable, strongly smelling liquids cannot guarantee complete elimination of bloodsuckers, since their action is based on direct contact with the pest. In addition, it is not possible to process the entire apartment with these mixtures.

Destruction of bugs on their own using temperature conditions is associated with certain difficulties. Freezing city apartments can lead to the destruction of the heating system, and temperatures above 50 ° C are not typical for the European climate.

Bedbug Remedies
Facilities

The most effective way is to use industrial insecticides. With the right concentration and slight contamination of the premises, self-harassment can be very effective. This method has one significant drawback - the adaptation of parasites to chemicals.There is a high probability that home bugs will have to taste more than one remedy before they find an effective one.

Destruction of bugs on their own can exacerbate the situation. Incorrect chemical dosage, illiterate destruction strategy, ineffective drugs will cause bugs to continue breed actively, populate the apartment and ultimately, you still have to call specialists.
