Bed Bugs

Wondering

If you're wondering if you can really check your clothing for bed bugs, you may be relieved to know that it is indeed possible.

Steps

This article will take you through all of the steps you need to follow in order to do just that, as well as some information on what to do if you have discovered the creatures lurking in your wardrobe.

Wondered

If you've ever wondered about the answer to the question, can bed bugs survive in water? The simple answer is no.

Bed Bugs

To make things worse, bed bugs have a limited amount of time in which to survive, if they do. This makes them susceptible to death by drowning. They can only hold their breath for a few minutes before their bodies start to dehydrate. A few hundred milliliters of blood isn’t enough for them to maintain their breath for an extended period of time. Although bed bugs can float in some liquid, they aren’t very good swimmers. In addition, they don’t have any natural survival skills to take advantage of the water. They only get fluids from blood and their exoskeletons are flat and buoyant, meaning they can’t fully submerge.  

Resources

However, there is a way to kill bed bugs using the most minimal of resources. This is by using hot or cold water. The best temperature for killing bed bugs is between 140 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

Interceptor

In addition, you can also try using a bed bug interceptor to catch them. While this method may not work, it's a good idea to at least give it a shot. Once the interceptor is filled with water, the bed bugs will suffocate to death on the surface.

Cold water

If you put them in cold water, they may die in less than an hour. This may seem counterintuitive, but it actually works. A better option is to keep the interceptor in a sealed bag to prevent infestation.

Obvious way

The other obvious way to kill a bed bug is by vacuuming them out. While this may not be as effective as removing them from the bed itself, it can still be useful in preventing further infestation. You can also clean the mattress and bedding with steam.

Combat

Another way to combat an infestation is to use dish soap. This is especially formulated to break down grease and food residue, which bed bugs can't handle. The fatty acids in the soap will also break down the exoskeleton, allowing it to easily be washed off.

Store

You should make sure to store these items in a sealed bag when you're done. This will ensure that you're not exposed to bed bugs and their fecals.
If you don't have a bed bug interceptor, the easiest way to get rid of them is to wash the clothes they left behind. However, this won't do the trick if they're hiding somewhere else.
You can wash them in a hot bathtub or at the very least, put them in the washer. If you want to go the extra mile, you can put them in a steam cleaner. This method is also the most efficient.

You’re probably wondering, “What are the best ways to kill a bed bug?” Well, the answer to that is, it depends. While there are several options out there, the best way to kill them is by using soapy water in direct contact

If you’ve had bed bugs in the past, you may wonder if they can re-emerge on your clothing. The good news is that most bedbugs die within a few hours of feeding. However, there are some cases where they can survive long after feeding.

One of the earliest signs of a bed bug infestation is the presence of bedbug shell casings, or husks. These husks are found in the seams of furniture, pillows, and mattresses.
