Bedbugs may appear in your home if you are not careful to make sure it is as neat and tidy as possible.
Bedbugs may infest your home in many ways, but by keeping it clean, you lessen the chance of making it a likely target. These bugs will have fewer places to live if you keep the clutter in your home to a minimum. By regularly vacuuming, cleaning your furniture, and wiping down most surfaces, you are actively cleansing areas they may live. When you clean your bedding, make sure to use hot water. Make sure any cracks in your floor or wall are sealed as this is a prime location where they may live. Although bedbugs got their name because they usually bite you while you are sleeping, they can live almost anywhere including a bed. Typically more active in the dark, these creatures will strike while you are sleeping. One of the ways they get into your bed is by climbing up the legs of your bed and into your sheets. You can prevent this by setting the frame legs in mineral oil so the bugs can't crawl on them. Preventing sheets, blankets, or bedspreads from touching the floor is also a solution. While you are working on a way to eliminate them, this will prevent them from biting you while you sleep.
