Bed bugs (Hemiptera) are common types of parasites that can settle not only in apartments, but also in private homes. Destroy the insect will help both specialized remedies and simple folk methods. The main thing in this business is patience and an integrated approach.
Freezing
Vital processes in the body of the bug begin to slow down when the temperature drops to -22 degrees. Therefore, in the fight against parasites, it is recommended to use the cooling method. However, this is a seasonal measure and is suitable for the winter period. If possible, leave the room for several hours, opening all doors and windows. Take out the bedding and clothes on the balcony. After the procedure, carefully check the places of accumulation of bugs and larvae. If you did everything right, then the insect will die. It remains only to remove him from the apartment.
Bedbug Herbs
In the fight against the parasite since ancient times, medicinal plants with an unpleasant and repulsive odor have been used. Valerian, chamomile, tansy, ledum, celandine and wormwood have an excellent insecticidal effect. The tannins contained in them either scare the bugs away from their favorite habitats for a long time, or cause complete paralysis in them. To process the room, you should prepare a tincture or decoction in advance. Consider a few recipes:
- Take 3 valerian roots, pour 150 g of alcohol and insist for 5 days.
- 300 g of fresh wormwood pour 3 cups of boiling water and leave for about 8 hours.
- 40 g of tansy pour 50 g of vodka and leave for 3 days.
- Mash 50 g of chamomile inflorescences with 2 g of naphthalene in small crumbs.
Next, pour the solution into a pre-cleaned vessel and spray the apartment. You can also set fire to dry grass and fumigate the room. Do not forget to observe the safety precautions and to ventilate the home after the procedure.
