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.
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.
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.
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.
