Bedbugs are insects that feed on the blood of animals and humans. Adult bedbugs are reddish-brown, wingless and about the size of an apple seed. They are flat with oval bodies. Juveniles are smaller and may appear transparent or yellowish. Due to their coloration, they can be almost impossible to detect. Their eggs are small and white. Bedbugs can be found everywhere, even in the cleanest homes and hotels. They can move through very narrow and inaccessible places, even through a slot as thick as a credit card.

How to get rid of bedbugs quickly? Home remedies that our mothers and grandmothers already knew
Getting rid of bedbugs can be problematic, so you need to act as soon as you notice their presence. Use an old home method to get rid of unwanted bugs from your home using diatomaceous earth. This product gets into every nook and cranny of the insect’s body. It thus damages the shell’s shell and then leads to moisture loss, dehydration and death. Just sprinkle it in strategic places where insects could appear, e.g. in the legs of furniture, in the cracks of walls, wardrobes, around windows, on windowsills. The rule “the longer the better” applies here. It is best to leave the soil for 7 days and then vacuum it up. Remember that if home remedies for treating bedbugs are not effective, you should seek help from a professional.
Specific signs that you have bedbugs in your home. Be careful
Bedbugs can enter the house undetected, e.g. through luggage, clothes, used beds, sofas and other objects. Their flattened bodies allow them to fit into small spaces. They do not have nests, but live in groups in hiding places. Their initial hiding places are usually in spring mattresses, bed frames and headboards where they have easy access to people. Over time, they can also spread to nearby rooms or apartments. Because bedbugs feed only on blood, their presence in your home is not a sign of dirt. You’re just as likely to find them in spotlessly clean homes and hotel rooms as you are in dirty ones. Certain clues can help detect their presence.
- Marks on the skin. Bites that appear on exposed parts of the body while sleeping. The first bites may be concentrated in one place. Then, if you still live in an area where bedbugs are infested, the bites appear all over your body.
- Traces on the bed. Small black spots on sheets, mattresses or bed springs. These stains come from bedbug excrement. You may find them on or near the bed.
- Traces of blood on the bedding. There may be small spots of blood on the sheets, bedding or mattress.
- Sweet smell in the room. These insects emit a specific smell thanks to which they attract each other.
