Bed bugs (3)

3. What to do if your home has bed bugs?
First, find out the source of those bugs and cut further infection. Usually, they can travel between places through used furniture, suitcases and trash. For example, I check with my previous roommates and one of them said they were bitten by something and found bugs in his used furniture several months ago. After he threw it away, it became much better. Obviously, bugs traveled into our apartment through used furniture. Because my previous roommate has moved out, I do not have to worry about the source any more. What I need to do is to clean bugs up and I will be done. For my new roommate, all his furniture is new so I do not have to take any actions on that.
Second, identify bugs which bite you. Usually beg bugs hide at the edge of your mattress, corners of your carpet, and even in your pillow and comforter. Find them out. They are almost square-shaped, extremely flat, and brown in color.
Third, throw your furniture which got infected, IMMEDIATELY.
At last, call professionals to exterminate them.
