How to get rid of bed bugs: contain belongings, remove visible bugs and get a coordinated treatment plan. Roanoke, VA help: (540) 632-8124. A few DIY steps can help, but cleaning one item does not eliminate bed bugs throughout a home.
DIY steps to try first
Keep belongings contained
Bag affected clothing and bedding before moving them through the home. Avoid carrying unbagged items into another bedroom.
Use the dryer for suitable items
EPA recommends high heat for 30 minutes for clothing and bedding that can tolerate it. Check care labels, then place treated items in clean, sealed bags.
Vacuum carefully
Vacuum accessible seams, cracks, and baseboards. Seal the vacuum bag in another bag and discard it outside. Ask your provider how preparation fits the proposed treatment.
Do not heat rooms with space heaters or use flammable liquids. Whole-room treatment is different from safely drying suitable clothing.
