How Can I Notice The Presence Of Bedbugs In The Bed?

As we have seen, bedbug bites create quite a few inconveniences for people and this is why it is very important to know how to recognize the presence of these insects in our home. In fact, the sooner we manage to eradicate the problem, the better it will be for everyone. First of all, it is a good idea to always check that our body does not have bites and if there are any, it is necessary to understand whether they are bites from bedbugs or other insects.

Bed bugs

One of the many clearly visible signs are the micro specks of blood on the bed and identifying them will not be easy both due to their size, but also because if you use dark sheets it will be almost impossible. A second foolproof method is to use a magnifying glass to check the entire bed.

Bedbugs have a tiny, oval-shaped body and are about 5 millimeters long. Their color tends towards brown with shades of red-black. Not only will they be alone, but it is also possible to spot their eggs which are white and oval. Another sign, even stranger, is the sweet smell that will be felt between the sheets. Be careful, these insects are not limited to the bed and mattress, but it is also important to check nearby pillowcases, pillows and drawers.

How To Prevent Bed Bugs?

Having said all this, we wonder if there is a method to prevent the proliferation of bed bugs. The first step is certainly to maintain good and correct cleaning of the house in general. The second point is to wash sheets and curtains frequently and at fairly high temperatures (60 degrees).

It would be a good habit to add the use of disinfected products . As far as floors and carpets are concerned, it is a good idea to vacuum often and use the right products. If possible, every now and then the vaporetto.
