It is more difficult to know who is biting, if the parasites are not directly visible. However, there are characteristic signs: paths of red spots on the body, unpleasant smell at home, black spots are visible on the furniture. Then bed bugs are suspected.

It is necessary to fight them as soon as suspicions of infestation in the apartment arise.

Different means can be used at home:

  • chemical;
  • physical;
  • handy (homemade).

The first group includes the largest number of ways to kill parasites. They are united by the presence of insecticides of combined (intestinal-contact) or contact action. It is important that the insects are exposed to the means penetrating through the cuticle. Intestinal inecticides are designed for cases where insects consume poisoned bait.

  • powders;
  • crayons.

Means are listed by level of effectiveness. This means that sprays work best. They can be purchased in ready-made form (with a sprayer on the bottle) or you can make them yourself. In this case, the concentrate is mixed with some water. The ready solution is poured into a container with a sprayer, and sprayed on areas where pests can be found. Aerosol is used on the same principle. The difference between it and the spray is in the effectiveness. Thus, the release of smaller particles is noted, they evenly cover all surfaces. However, microdroplets dry faster when using the aerosol.

The spray is more effective from this point of view.

Powders, crayons - such preparations are used to kill bed bugs in the apartment when there are still very few insects. They are also used to prevent infestation, to prevent the emergence of a colony of parasites. Such remedies are less effective, because they do not cover all coverings. They are used to treat the apartment, hoping that the insects will crawl through where the poisonous substance is applied, which means that there is no guarantee of contact with the poison.

The chemicals also include professional (specialized) products. They are sprayed in two ways: cold and hot mist. The treatment is carried out by specialized services (commercial organizations, sanitary and epidemiological station). A fog generator shall be used for this purpose.
