Can Bed Bugs Be Treated Without Professional Help?

Bed bugs may be the hardest pests to treat without professional help. This is because of how they invade homes, and how they evade treatments. You cannot seal up the exterior of your home to keep bed bugs out, because you are the one who brings them inside, you or another human being. Bed bugs are hitchhiking pests that use items we carry to get into our homes. Bed bugs are also very good at hiding from home remedies.

In addition, many store-bought pest controls contain chemicals which can be dangerous to you and your family. Furthermore, if you read that heat kills bed bugs and think you can crank your heating unit high enough, we assure you, it won't work. Bed bugs won't be completely eradicated until your entire home is above 117 degrees.
