All about bed bugs and how to get rid of "tyrants"

• By Vil Malinoshevsky
• About bedbugs

Bedbugs cannot live inside a mattress if there are no holes on the outside. The body of insects, including small larvae, is much larger than the pores in the tissue. Because of this, they cannot penetrate the inside of the mattress if it is not torn anywhere. In this case, they can only live from the outside. At the same time, people who constantly suffer from bedbug bites think that they live in the mattress, since, examining their bed during the day, they cannot find parasites.

In reality, bed bugs hide not only in beds, but also in many other places, and it can be extremely difficult to find them there. Because of this, it is necessary to process not only the mattress and bed, but the entire room. On the other hand, it is good that bedbugs cannot penetrate the whole mattress. If they lived in it, it would be almost impossible to expel them from there.

The photo below shows a bug that sits on a mattress:

This is an adult, whose body length is much larger than the size of the pores in the tissue. The body sizes of larvae of all ages are also too large for them to crawl through the whole fabric into the mattress. In general, neither bugs nor their larvae can penetrate the mattress through the fabric.

They can get inside the mattress only when there are holes on it. In this case, they will definitely take the opportunity. If this happens, there are several ways to get rid of the parasites. For example, in winter, the mattress can be put outside for 2-3 days, when the temperature there will be about -18-20 degrees or lower. In the summer, you can leave it in a car in the sun. There it will get very hot, which will lead to the death of insects. It can also be heated with a steam generator or heater.

It should be borne in mind that in such ways it will be possible to kill only those parasites that live in the mattress. Many, having processed it, wonder why someone bites them again at night. In fact, this is not surprising. Almost always, bugs live not only in a torn mattress, in a bed and a sofa, but also in other places throughout the apartment or house. To remove bedbugs, most often you have to process the entire room.

How to clean an apartment from worms

The destruction of the infectious origin, that is, the disinfection of worms, is carried out by different methods, depending on the type of parasite and its location. For example, roundworm eggs are sensitive to wet processing at high temperatures. The time required for their destruction depends on the exposure temperature. If at a temperature of 70 ° C, from one to ten seconds of treatment is enough for their death, then at a temperature of 50 ° C, it takes ten minutes.

Worms in an apartment most often accumulate on bedding and underwear, upholstered furniture, toys. If there is an animal in the house that can be a carrier of parasites, then their sleeping places and their favorite places of stay must be treated for helminths. Disinfection of an apartment from worms at home provides:

1. Disinfection of parasites by boiling bed linen, followed by ironing with a hot iron on both sides.
2. Cleaning of pillows, blankets, carpets, mattresses with a vacuum cleaner with the obligatory burning of the collected garbage.

Disinfection of helminths with ultraviolet or bactericidal lamps

Cleaning the premises after worms is akin to general cleaning, but the treatment for worms is carried out more thoroughly and with the use of disinfectants. The treatment process begins in the back rooms and ends with a toilet and bathroom. First, all things to be washed or wet treated with disinfectant solutions are taken out of the selected room. Clean items are packed in plastic bags until the processing of the room is completed. Before applying the solution, all treated surfaces must be cleaned of dirt and dust. Then a complete disinfection of the walls, ceiling, floor is carried out, as well as the processing of furniture.
After wet cleaning, it is advisable to treat the room with an ultraviolet lamp. For this purpose, it is enough to leave it in a closed room, turned on for four hours. Among the effective means used to disinfect worms in the apartment, you can name Desactin. Despite the fact that it contains chlorine, its concentration is low, which makes it suitable for cleaning soft toys. It is also possible to use hydrogen peroxide for these purposes, but here undesirable consequences are possible.

For disinfection from worms at home, a variety of folk remedies are used. It can be acetic acid, ammonia or saturated saline solution, linseed oil, which is also an excellent antiseptic. To increase the effectiveness of the treatment, acetic acid is mixed with salt. Surfaces that are treated for helminths must then be treated with soapy water. Cellophane, rubber toys, sinks, door handles, taps and other items are treated with boiling water.

An alternative to chemical disinfection from worms is the use of an ozonizer. The benefits of ozone are as follows:

1. Strong bactericidal effect, which is three hundred times higher than the properties of chlorine.
2. Destructive effect on all bacteria, while chlorine acts selectively.
3. Unlike chlorine, ozone destroys worm cysts.
4. There is no formation of additional compounds that give an unpleasant odor.

In addition, it is much more profitable to buy an ozonizer, which can be used on an ongoing basis for bleaching and disinfection of linen, water purification, for the treatment of certain diseases, and so on.
For the death of pinworm eggs, as the most common types of parasite, it is enough to treat the surface at a distance of up to one meter with a mercury-viol lamp for half an hour. Irradiation with a high-pressure bactericidal lamp at a distance of 40 cm causes the death of 75% of pinworm eggs. For the period of disinfection measures until the complete removal of traces of the parasite, it is advisable to change bed linen and linen daily, as well as thoroughly clean the apartment weekly.

Signs of bedbugs

There are quite a few signs by which you can detect the presence of blood-sucking insects in the mattress:

1. The appearance of bites all over the body. It is very simple to distinguish bug bites from other parasites: they are located pointwise and connect into a single continuous line. In addition, the damaged areas begin to itch, itch and become covered with red spots. In some cases, the bite sites may swell. Most often, women and children are affected, as their skin is thinner.
2. Bites on bare skin areas appear in the morning, since parasites go hunting in the middle of the night.
3. In possible places where bedbugs accumulate, a characteristic unpleasant smell appears - a cross between sour cognac and whiskey. It usually lasts for several days.
4. Blood stains on bed linen.

There is an easy way to make sure that blood-sucking parasites are in your apartment. Bedbugs go hunting in the middle of the night, but they are terrified of the light.

3-4 hours after the start of sleep, carefully turn on the bedside lamp or floor lamp. It will be possible to notice how the parasites will try to hide in a safe place.

To get rid of bedbugs in a mattress once and for all, preventive measures are required. After processing, put on a protective cover on the mattress to level the surface and hide cracks, seams, holes - new individuals can start in them. Inside, you can add a sprig of tansy or wormwood to scare off parasites with an unpleasant odor.

When using pesticides, the mattress and its surrounding surfaces will have to be washed with soapy water or water with washing powder. Leave the room to ventilate so that the unpleasant odor disappears. For several days, touch the mattress only with protective gloves so that particles of the active substance do not get on the skin and inside the body.

In nature, there are a large number of species of bedbugs. Recognizing bed bugs is not difficult at all. The lack of wings is their main feature. Due to this, the boundaries of the segments are clearly visible on the transparent shell of the insect.

The size of an adult bug can be up to 9 mm in length. In a hungry state, the abdomen has a rounded shape, but after a hearty meal it lengthens almost 2 times. You can distinguish a saturated parasite by its dark color, hungry pests of a light red hue.

Another distinctive feature is the presence of a long proboscis on the small triangular head of the bug, formed by fused jaws. It is with this hard and durable organ, divided into two channels, that it pierces the human skin. Through one channel, the parasite consumes human blood, from the other it secretes a special anesthetic substance. Thanks to which the victim does not feel the bite. What a bed bug looks like can be seen in the photo below.

Where do they come from

Bedbugs
The appearance of bedbugs in the home does not mean the unsanitary condition of the room. Bloodsuckers settle in the immediate vicinity of a person. Waste and garbage, unlike cockroaches or Prusaks, are not of interest to them. Therefore, bedbugs can appear even in a new apartment, where the cleanest housewife lives.

The main ways bed bugs appear in an apartment:

• Moved from neighbors. Especially if they started pest control, but not effectively enough;
  

  Feedback

  After the owners changed in the neighboring apartment, they began to find cockroaches in their kitchens and bedbugs in their beds. The treatment was done more than once, trying to cope with pests on its own, but the result was very short-lived. From what the situation only only worsened. In addition, it turned out that this problem arose not only in our apartment. This continued until they got together with their neighbors and called the pest control service to destroy bedbugs. But I still had to part with the mattress.

  Maria, Omsk

• You can find a bug in a bed in a cheap hotel, sanatorium, or a train car. As a result, there is a high probability of settling such a "tenant" at home;
  

  Feedback

  While on a business trip I had to stay at a hotel. When I found a bug on the bed, I understood the reason for the appearance of red itchy spots on the body. And looking under the mattress, I was horrified - the insects were just swarming there. Had to look for another hotel. And upon arrival home, she urgently washed all the things, she was very afraid to bring bed bugs home.

  Valentina, Moscow

• When buying books, clothes, paintings and other used items. Also, when purchasing furniture from your hands, you can very often find bugs in a mattress or sofa.

And what to do with the stains left after the child's sleep, or with blood stains

• We use textile stain removers to protect the mattress from decay and damage to the fabric. For example, Vanish, Dr. Beckmann, Amway, Loc wet wipes, Unimax Ultra, Antipyatin, etc. Means are universal and narrowly targeted. They also differ in shape - in the form of a spray, liquid or, for example, a pencil.
• Prepare a mixture: 1 tbsp / l toothbrush / paste, a quarter cup of hydrogen peroxide, half a cup of cornstarch. Apply the substance evenly to the stain, wait for it to dry, scrape and vacuum. If a trace remains, we repeat.
• We slightly moisten the area with the stain (we do not wet it, but moisten it!), Pour salt on top, remove it after 2-3 hours with a vacuum cleaner. Next, we blot the stain with hydrogen peroxide (on a cotton / disc) and, as soon as the foam stops forming, wipe it with a dry cloth.
• Take baking soda, white meat softener, and a little water. Mix until a thick paste, apply to the stain. After 20 minutes, blot with a clean, damp sponge, remove the remnants.
• Dissolve h / l of ammonia in 0.5 l of water. We moisten a cotton pad, apply to the stain. If there is no effect after drying, we use a more concentrated solution.
• We make a thick mixture of water and starch. Apply to the desired area, wait for drying. After - remove with a brush. Perfectly removes blood stains.
• We heat glycerin in warm water, apply on a cotton pad, wipe the desired area. Next, remove the trail with ammonia.
• Spray on the stain with a glass cleaner, rub intensively with a sponge / brush, then use ammonia on a cotton pad (solution).
• Dissolve aspirin in water (approx. - for 1 liter - 1 tablet), moisten a cotton pad / disc, wipe the stain.
• Mix soda with water (1/2 to 1), moisten a clean cloth with a solution, leave on the spot for 2 hours. Next, remove the remaining soda and dry.
• We dilute citric and acetic acid in water (approx. - in equal proportions), wipe the stain with a solution with a cotton pad / disc, dry with a hairdryer.

Features of parasitism and reproduction

Reproduction of a bed bug

On a note!

Bedbug eggs are protected by a dense shell, which is well fixed to both horizontal and vertical surfaces. In addition, almost no insecticide is capable of destroying it. That is why producers of the poison insist on reprocessing.

Simple rules will help keep parasites under control

1. Since it is not entirely possible to get rid of the dust mite completely, it is often necessary to carry out wet cleaning and treatment with special chemicals.
2. Airing the room and reducing the air temperature to +21 degrees, reducing humidity will also help. Reduced humidity slows down the reproduction process in parasites.
3. Washing should be done in hot water. Bedding should be taken out in the sun or frozen out in winter. Low and high temperatures are poorly tolerated by mites.
4. It is advisable to change mattresses and pillows for new ones every five to seven years.

For people with allergies, dust mites are quite dangerous. The accumulation of parasites and the high concentration of their secretions in the room can cause a deterioration in well-being - coughing attacks or swelling of the respiratory tract. Vigilance and utmost care for cleanliness in the home will help to avoid further health problems.

Steam generator and vacuum cleaner for cleaning the mattress

If the house has a steam generator, then removing stains will not be a problem. The main advantage of cleaning with a steam generator is its ability to kill bacteria. It is the bacteria that give off the unpleasant odor. The hot steam quickly kills bacteria and immediately removes them from the tissue. The steam vacuum cleaner can handle materials that cannot be wet washed.

A vacuum cleaner is necessary for dry cleaning of the mattress surface. He can clean the product from dust, hair and other small debris. Also, you cannot do without a vacuum cleaner if the stain has been covered with soda or salt. Only a vacuum cleaner can completely remove them from the fabric. If cleaning is done with a dry odor absorber other than a vacuum cleaner, shake the mattress vigorously. The chemical must be completely removed from the mattress.

Bedbugs on the mattress where they hide

The opinion that the favorite habitat of domestic parasites is the mattress is not always justified. Insects can settle in the crevices of the bed frame or sofa, under the upholstery, in the folds of the sleeper covers. As a rule, parasites settle 3-5 meters from a person - a food source.

First of all, the integrity of the mattress is checked. If there are no tears or damage, inspect the seams.If there are no signs of vital activity, do not throw the mattress, but pack it in plastic and inspect the bed frame. Parasites settle where nothing will disturb them, they do not tolerate extraneous movement.

The mattress is not the cause of bedbugs or their primary habitat. However, during the day, insects can hide in its folds if the room is heavily infected. In addition to the mattress, bugs sometimes settle in the space between the pillowcase and the filler.

An interesting folk way of detecting bedbugs. A little sunflower oil is dripped into a small container with water, placed in a larger container and placed under the legs of the bed. The parasites will not be able to get out of the oily water and are easy to spot in the morning.

Folk remedies

With a small number of parasitic accumulations, folk remedies help repelling the spectrum of influence. They will not be able to completely destroy the bloodsuckers, but they will scare them away for a while.

Bunches of fresh grass with a strong aroma are laid out under the mattress: tansy, wormwood, valerian, wild rosemary, chamomile. Layouts are changed every 3 days, since they do not work when dry.

Chemical liquids are saved from uninvited guests: turpentine, ammonia, naphthalene, vinegar. A solution is made and applied to potentially dangerous areas of bedbug infestation. When working with them, they use personal protective equipment: a respirator for the nose and mouth, a scarf for the hair, rubber gloves, old clothes (then they are thrown away).

How to process a mattress to remove bedbugs

Treating mattresses from bedbugs is the primary task after the detection of parasites. it is in the mattress that they prefer to lay their eggs, since there will be no problems with access to food. In addition, mattresses have a lot of seams, folds, cracks in which to hide.

The mattress can be processed using chemical or folk methods (used as a prophylaxis), exposure to high or low temperatures. The easiest way - mechanical, is to manually collect the parasites. It is not effective, since it will not be possible to collect all the parasites, besides, their eggs are invisible to the naked eye.

If it is not possible to call a special service at home, the room should be treated with chemicals, in particular aerosols, since they are sold ready-made and the probability of changing the dosage is zero. Compliance with safety measures is mandatory.

How to prepare the mattress for processing?

Before removing bedbugs, the mattress must be prepared. First you need to remove it from the bed frame, remove bed linen and pillows, covers, mattress covers. Put things in plastic bags in case there are eggs of parasites and their larvae on them.

Attention! Things that have come into contact with the mattress will then have to be boiled, doused with steam, or placed in the cold (below 20 degrees) for several days. ... Vacuum the mattress itself thoroughly to eliminate most of the pests

You do not need to use a brush attachment. Pay special attention to folds, seams, cracks. After the mattress, process the bed frame, adjacent cabinets, drawers, dressers. Before processing, put things in tight bags and take them out of the room.

Vacuum the mattress itself thoroughly to eliminate most of the pests. You do not need to use a brush attachment. Pay special attention to folds, seams, cracks. After the mattress, process the bed frame, adjacent cabinets, drawers, dressers. Before processing, put things in tight bags and take them out of the room.

How to choose a method for dealing with bedbugs?

To get rid of bed bugs quickly and effectively, it is important to find the right product. There are many nuances worth paying attention to.

It is better not to spray aerosols and sprays in an apartment where there are allergy sufferers or pregnant women, as well as persons suffering from respiratory diseases.

If you have small children, you will have to give up poisonous powders and crayons, which curious babies can mistakenly drag into their mouths. It is also not recommended to use folk remedies like wormwood and tansy, which give off a toxic odor and pose a threat to children and pets.

Folk remedies are not so popular, they are mainly used by opponents of pesticides. It will not work to completely destroy bedbugs with their help. Basically, folk remedies are used for prophylaxis and scare off parasites with an unpleasant odor.

What to do after processing?

During processing, strictly follow the instructions and do not change the dosage. At the end of the procedure, the mattress will have to be cleaned of dead bodies and bed bug eggs. Vacuum the surface again, dispose of the garbage bag immediately to prevent re-infection.

The next step is to cover the mattress with a special cover to close all holes and cracks in which parasites can settle. For prevention, you can put twigs of wormwood or tansy inside, which scare off bedbugs with their unpleasant odor.

Calling special services

Often, finding bugs in their house, residents begin to panic. After all, they have no idea where to complain or what to do. If you have neither the time nor the desire to solve the problem yourself, you can contact special services. Then all the efforts to eliminate pests and protect furniture will be assigned to them.

As for the cost, it ranges from 3 thousand rubles. The price of the service depends on the specific situation and the complexity of the work. You can contact the city SES, such a service usually gives a guarantee for its services for a period of 3 months.

Too low cost of services should be alarming. As a rule, such agencies use low-quality drugs that do not allow cleaning the mattress from insects and achieve the desired effect.

It is worth noting that after the procedures, it is best to live somewhere else. Sometimes you have to buy a new mattress, since not every product is capable of performing its functions after processing.

Bedbugs can start again after treatment. In order to prevent their return in the future, it is necessary to do regular cleaning, wear only clean clothes, and change bed linen in a timely manner. It is important to remember about hygiene and be attentive to everyday wardrobe items. At least twice a year, the mattress is turned over and carefully examined. If a path of excrement is identified, they immediately begin to persecute parasites. Upon returning from vacation, suitcases must be checked for insects.

Moth

The insect has several varieties: clothes, fur, grain, furniture and mushroom moths.

Moth eggs are brought into the house along with old things or work clothes that have not been washed for a long time.

An adult winged insect lays eggs in damp, dark, warm places: these can be cabinets, the back of furniture, cluttered closets, open bags with cereals. The hatched larvae begin to eat natural materials: wool, fur, felt, etc.

To get rid of parasites, you should carry out wet cleaning using cleaning agents, disassemble the accumulated rubbish, throw away unnecessary rags, and thoroughly ventilate the room.

Found masonry moths are sprayed with 9% vinegar solution, garlic heads are laid out nearby.

The moth does not tolerate pungent odors, therefore, to prevent its appearance, it is recommended to place bags with dry lavender, tea tree leaves, eucalyptus in places where clothes are stored.

It is better to store fur coats or coats in plastic covers, this will prevent them from being damaged by gluttonous larvae.

Preventive measures

It is not possible to completely protect your home from pests.But there are options that help to worsen their living conditions, and reduce the likelihood of their reproduction. The main principle of protection can be the choice of special outlets and the timely implementation of cosmetic repairs. Here's another list of actions:

• Turn the mattress frequently and check for any signs of insects.
• Try not to bring old things into the house or inspect them carefully.
• Wear shoe covers in places where bedbugs are likely to settle.
• Do not take other people's furniture from the street.
• Examine the wallpaper on the walls; there should be no defects on them. In the future, bloodsuckers can settle in such places.
• Do not lay parquet on floors.
• Make sure children do not bring bed bugs from school or outside.

Summing up the above, we say with confidence that wadded mattresses are excellent shelters for night bloodsuckers. If you spot an insect in bed, start fighting immediately. And don't forget:

1. Be scrupulous about the things that you bring into the house.
2. Clean bedding furniture more often.
3. Do not delay calling specialists.

Control methods

Bedbugs give home owners a lot of discomfort, so they try to get rid of annoying insects as soon as possible. Traditional methods are often used to control parasites, although they are less effective than pesticides, but they are safe for residents. This is especially true if there are small children or sick people in the house and it is not possible to remove them from the apartment at least temporarily. Usually they use proven folk methods of dealing with bed bugs.

• The herb of tansy, wormwood, wild rosemary and some other plants is used as a deterrent. It is scattered in places where insects are likely to live.
• Bedbugs do not tolerate the smell of valerian. Therefore, if you lubricate the seams of mattresses, baseboards and other places where they live with tincture, insects creep out, where they can be easily destroyed. Processing should be carried out several times, since the product does not destroy the egg-laying, and after a while young insects will appear from them.
• One of the easiest and safest remedies is vinegar essence. It is used to lubricate cracks in baseboards and furniture, seams on mattresses and other habitats of bedbugs. The strong smell of vinegar repels insects
• Furniture, skirting boards, crevices and floors are treated with alcohol, salt water and hydrogen peroxide.
• One of the proven old remedies for bedbugs is a solution of kerosene, turpentine. The constituent parts are dissolved in hot water at the rate of 30 ml of turpentine and 40 ml of kerosene per 300 ml of boiling water. For better adhesion, it is advisable to add soap to the solution (about 80 g).
• Bedbugs do not tolerate high temperatures. They begin to die already at 60 degrees. Therefore, to kill insects, bed linen and other things are washed in hot water, and cracks in furniture, seams of mattresses and other places of possible habitat of these parasites are spilled with boiling water.
• You can effectively destroy bedbugs using a steam generator (steam cleaner). Unlike boiling water, steam cannot harm clothing and furniture. At the same time, it penetrates into the most inaccessible places and the smallest crevices.
• Low temperatures (below -20 ° C) are detrimental to these parasites. Bed linen, mattresses, pillows and blankets are taken outside in winter and left in the cold. Bed bugs will die within 24 hours.
• These insects live exclusively indoors and cannot tolerate sunlight. Therefore, if things and furniture infected with parasites are left in the sun for several hours, the bugs will die.
• You can significantly reduce the number of insects and their larvae using a vacuum cleaner with a narrow nozzle. However, this method will not completely get rid of bedbugs.
• The following mixtures are effective means: turpentine, kerosene and naphthalene at the rate of 5x5x1; turpentine, ethyl alcohol and camphor (20x20x1).These mixtures are used to treat places where insects accumulate. But it should be borne in mind that they have a pungent unpleasant odor.

In order to remove bedbugs using folk methods, patience and perseverance are required. The procedures must be repeated several times in order to destroy the larvae hatched from the eggs and the living insects remaining after the treatment.

Accurate diagnosis

Small individuals of the annoying species cannot be noticed immediately. Most often, from the moment the first representatives of the species appear in a living room, enough time passes for their number to increase significantly.
In order to prevent the occurrence of a large-scale spread of pests, it is necessary at the earliest stage to understand whether foreign organisms live in the mattress. You can determine the health of your own bed yourself. To do this, you need to use three basic senses:

• sense of smell,
• vision,
• touch.

No matter how strange it may seem, but the mattress needs to be sniffed in order to feel that strangers live in it. They are characterized by an unpleasant smell, given off by a special secret, and it is impossible not to feel it. First of all, you can catch the specific "aroma" of pests that live and reproduce in pillows.

At the second stage, the mattress is carefully examined. Signs of active life can be the remains of chitinous shells (almost transparent dust) or excrement (small dark crumbs).

The most unpleasant fact is to touch insects with your own body. Finally, make sure that the bugs began to live in close proximity to the person, their bites will "help".

The presence of all these signs allows us to say with confidence that the correct diagnosis has been made - real bloodsuckers live in bed, who will not allow a person to sleep peacefully at night, developing active life on the mattress and in pillows.

Operative treatment

Preparatory stage

Blanket and pillows

Pests can also live in blankets, and especially in feather pillows. In winter, in order to get rid of them, it is enough to take out the bedding in the cold and leave it there for a day.

Before bringing things into the house, they are carefully knocked out to remove dead parasites and packed in bags. If there is no way to freeze blood-sucking aliens living in pillows, then you should pay attention to the services of dry cleaners.

Dry cleaning is guaranteed to remove all unwanted visitors.

Having made the decision to take blood-sucking inhabitants out of bed at home, you need to be patient and prepare for a stubborn struggle.

Mattress

Remaining adults, larvae and laid eggs must be removed from the surface. After that, the mattress is opened. The process is problematic, but without it, the treatment will be in vain: the remaining bugs will live and develop inside, forcing you to repeat the entire procedure for removing them again.

Ants

Insects can appear in the house if there is a sawmill, garden, park, or vegetable garden nearby. Cruising in search of food, ants trample entire roads, and the wall of the house on the way to food does not become an obstacle.

A cluster of ants can be found in a sugar bowl, in a bread basket, in a bowl of sweets, under a cloth for cleaning the table, in a sink. Little pleasant, especially since insects bite painfully.

There are several ways to deal with ants:

• sprinkle all ant paths together with insects "Dichlorvos" or "Raid" draw several lines next to the plinths with chalk "Mashenka";
• use special gels, such as "Great Warrior", or traps.

A simple remedy helps well: sprinkle the horizontal paths with salt, and grease the vertical paths with sunflower oil.

When getting rid of insects with chemicals, take precautions: do not spray the products in an area accessible to pets, and be sure to ventilate the area after completion of work. ...

Rules for getting rid of bedbugs

Getting rid of bed bugs is possible. It is not always possible to call a professional exterminator to the house; therefore, manufacturers are actively presenting products on the market that allow them to destroy pests on their own.

Before proceeding to processing the premises, you should consider a few basic rules:

1. Chemical insecticides are only allowed to be used in a protective suit, which must include long sleeves and trousers, rubber gloves and a respirator.
2. There should be no strangers and pets in the room at the time of processing. Cover aquariums and cages that cannot be taken outside with a thick cloth so that pets do not get poisoned by poisonous vapors.
3. Food, personal hygiene products and other things with which a person is directly in contact with unprotected skin areas, take out of the room or place in tight plastic bags.
4. Seal door jambs and window openings with paper tape or cloth, fix fire safety sensors and ventilation openings with something during processing.
5. Before using pesticides, ventilate the room to get rid of foreign odors and improve air circulation in the room.

These rules will help not only ensure the safety of family members, but also increase the effectiveness of the treatment carried out. Some substances continue to act after direct baiting; harmful particles can remain on walls and other surfaces, in cracks. They must be washed with soapy water or washing powder.
