Sheffield, AL – 3 Tips to Help Prevent Bed Bugs in Your Home – Pest Control News

Even the loneliest people in the world shiver at the idea of sharing their beds with bed bugs. The pesky creatures hide in beds and other dark spaces, coming out to suck our blood like some real-life vamp-sect. Their bite is vicious enough that bed bugs can keep us up at night with fear. Keep your home bed bug-free using the three prevention tips below.

How to Prevent Bed Bugs in Sheffield

Preventing bed bugs is easier than treating an infestation. Implement the following tips into your life to minimize bed bug problems.

Tip One: Go on a Cleaning Spree

A cleaning spree is like a shopping spree, except you need gloves and cleaning supplies, and don’t bring new goodies back home. Okay, it’s nothing the same, but can be just as exciting if you turn on the music and get the party started as you sweep the Swiffer back and forth.

Clean it up, keep clutter to a minimum, take out the trash, and seal any gaps, cracks, or holes in doors, window frames, or other non-conspicuous spots to seal their potential entry points.

Tip Two: Inspect Those Items

Shopping in public opens up the possibility that a bed bug hitches itself to a bag and travels home with you, potentially creating havoc for your family. You can reduce the risk of transporting the bloodsuckers to your home by inspecting items before bringing them inside. Clothing or fabric items? Toss them in the washer and dryer.

Tip Three: Regular Pest Control in Sheffield

The tips above provide bed bug protection, although regular pest control is the most effective way to keep the pest out of your hair. Sheffield pest control experts can address specialized concerns during each service visit, including bed bugs.
