How to poison bedbugs in an apartment yourself - 11 ways

How to find pests in an apartment

Before you fight bedbugs at home, you need to identify all the places where they are found. Otherwise, you risk not destroying the entire colony. You need to look for these parasites in upholstered furniture, under mattresses, sometimes in closets, behind baseboards and near sockets. It is not difficult to determine where bedbugs accumulate: near them you can usually find many small black dots - traces of the vital activity of parasites.

A bedbug nest is a moving mass that simultaneously contains eggs, larvae, and adult parasites. There may be several such nests around the apartment. The more there are, the more difficult it will be to carry out sanitary treatment in such a house, which will give the desired effect. If there are a large number of parasites in the apartment, it is not recommended to try to fight them yourself.

If you found only one or two small nests in the sofa, you can cope with this task without the help of the SES. To do this, you will only need to carry out several treatments of the apartment with special means to completely get rid of pests.

How to prevent the appearance of bedbugs in an apartment

In order not to waste energy and money on fighting bedbugs, it is better to take simple measures to prevent these parasites from appearing in a person’s home. Firstly, you need to try and block all the ways parasites can enter the apartment by sealing all the cracks with sealant and installing grilles on the ventilation system. Bedding should be washed at high temperatures and be sure to iron it, which guarantees the complete death of even surviving larvae, eggs or adults. Since strong odors repel parasites, small bouquets of peppermint, lemon balm, lavender and other plants can be placed in secluded places.

The appearance of bed bugs in an apartment is sometimes beneficial for residents, since as a result they have to reconsider some of their habits and take a fresh look at life. Timely detection of insects will allow you to manage on your own, without resorting to the help of exterminators. In addition, it is not always permissible to use chemical control agents. As life shows, if you approach the solution to the problem with all seriousness, after analyzing the reasons for the appearance of such parasites, then you may be able to get rid of them using simple but effective methods, combined with preventive measures.

The presence of bedbugs in an apartment means a feeling of discomfort and poor sleep. As a result, there are various diseases associated with stress and fatigue.

How to prepare a room for treatment

In order to carry out sanitization effectively, it is important to know how to properly prepare the room for it. To do this you need:

• Remove absolutely all food and dishes from the apartment. If you are unable to do this, you must store it in a remote location and be sure to completely cover it with an impervious material.
• Move all furniture away from the walls at a distance of at least 10-15 centimeters. This is necessary in order to provide yourself with full access to all corners, baseboards, and crevices in which pests can hide.
• Remove all contents from linen drawers and soft corners.
• Wash bedding, as well as clothes that may be contaminated, in hot water. Please note: it cannot be treated with insecticides together with furniture.
• Remove other family members and pets from the premises. This rule should be followed even if you use folk remedies for bullying. (more details about anti-bedbug products)

Important: before you start working with any chemicals, you need to take care of personal protective equipment. At home, it is mandatory to use a respirator, gloves, and goggles. All this is necessary in order to protect the skin and mucous membranes from harmful effects, on which chemical burns from insecticides may remain.

Only by following all the above rules can you be well prepared for further processing of the room. It can be done using various means.

Method 1 - special aerosols

How can you poison pests quickly and effectively? Special aerosols cope well with this task; these products are best used if you know where exactly the pest nest is located in the house. They need to be sprayed directly on adult insects, as well as on larvae. When in direct contact with pests, aerosols cause paralysis of the nervous system in insects, which is why they die very quickly. The most effective means of this type are considered to be Raptor, Combat, Raid, Dichlorvos.

It should be noted that it is necessary to treat the apartment with dichlorvos or any other similar product not once, but 2-3 times with an interval of several days. What is it for? During this time, new eggs will have time to hatch, which could not be destroyed during the previous disinfestation.

Important: this type of chemical should be used in areas where the number of pests is small and their nest is easy to find. Only in this case will they help you get rid of house bugs in just a few treatments.

Method 2 – powders and crayons

What is the best way to destroy such pests if you do not know where exactly their nest is located in your house? It is best to use powders or contact crayons for this purpose: Mashenka, Neoprin, Chlorophos. These remedies usually give a fairly long-lasting effect and allow you to get rid of not only adult insects, but also insect larvae. They are also often used to protect your home from such pests.

The principle of using these funds is quite simple. They are applied to those places where bedbugs can live: behind baseboards, near cracks, near entrance doors. Insects come into contact with these agents and quickly die from paralysis of the nervous system.

Important: it is necessary to remember that many products from this category are dangerous not only for pests, but also for humans. Therefore, it is not recommended to use them if you cannot leave your home for the entire period of disinfestation.

How to use such tools? If you decide to poison parasites with similar chemicals, for example, karbofos, you will need to proceed as follows: apply the karbofos solution with a paint brush to places where insects accumulate or move and leave there for several days.

Review of popular brands of bedbug repellents

There are a large number of chemical treatments for bedbugs, varying in composition, effect and cost. When choosing, be guided by the following requirements for them:

• efficiency;
• ease of use;
• no stains on furniture after treatment;
• performance;
• presence of various active ingredients.

Method 4 - temperature treatment

How to remove pests if you do not have the opportunity to treat your home with specialized chemicals? This can be done by using too high or low temperatures. Steaming things gives a good effect. This effect kills most of the adult pests, as well as many larvae.

If you do not have the opportunity to go over all surfaces with a steam generator, you can do it simpler: you just need to pour boiling water over the areas where bedbugs are likely to accumulate and move. If the apartment is not heavily infested, this technique allows you to quickly and easily get rid of them.

In winter, you can remove these parasites in another way: you should put infected sofas and carpets outside for a while. If possible, it is also recommended to leave the apartment and open all the windows so that the temperature in the room drops significantly. The housing must be left to stand for several days so that all pests leave it. Learn more about how to get rid of bedbugs in a sofa.

Important: to achieve lasting results from this treatment, repeat it several times with an interval of 7-10 days. During this time, the remaining bedbug eggs will have time to hatch, but the young individuals will not yet give birth to offspring. Thanks to this, you can completely destroy the parasite colony.

Method 5 – denatured alcohol

How to poison house bugs if you know exactly where their nest is? Use denatured alcohol for this purpose. It is extremely simple to use: you need to find a place where parasites accumulate and pour this alcohol over it - the pests will instantly die. You should not use this product only for surface treatment: in this case, it will have absolutely no effect.

Tip: instead of denatured alcohol, you can use aviation liquid - it has the same principle of action on insects. Just be very careful when using it, as it belongs to the group of flammable substances.

Are folk remedies safe?

Another common misconception is that folk remedies for bedbugs are safer than chemical ones.

On the one hand, indeed, a spherical folk remedy in a vacuum, which housewives dream of, is indeed safer than an ordinary effective insecticide. But here it is important to understand that most folk remedies will not remove bedbugs. Actually, modern chemical preparations appeared because folk remedies could not cope with the task of killing bedbugs and something truly effective was needed. And those folk remedies that can be used to destroy bedbugs even in the form in which the destruction actually occurs are no safer or more convenient than insecticides.

For example, bedbugs can definitely be killed with vinegar if you pour it directly on the insects. That is, all parasites in the room need to be found and watered with vinegar. It’s probably easier to just crush them with your fingers, because after the vinegar, the smell in the apartment will knock off not only bedbugs and cockroaches. Vinegar has no residual effect, and bedbugs will run on those surfaces on which the vinegar has dried, without the slightest harm to themselves.

For example, the photo shows a nest that bedbugs had built on a bed that thoroughly stank of turpentine - the apartment owners were sure that the bedbugs were afraid of the smell of turpentine and had to run away from it:

Or, for example, another home remedy - bleach - is very effective at killing bedbugs. But how a person who has treated a room with bleach for half a day will feel, and with what comfort he will then spend the night in this room - these are big questions.

The same folk remedies that are truly completely safe for humans do not work against bedbugs and are not suitable for killing them.

Method 6 – vinegar

This product does not kill bed bugs, but only repels them. It should be used if there are few pests in the house, and for some reason you do not want to use stronger chemicals. How do you fight bedbugs with vinegar? This product sprays all the cracks in the house where parasites can be found.

Mixtures of vinegar with other chemicals also have a good effect. So, for example, a mixture of wormwood decoction and vinegar in equal parts repels pests very well. It is advisable to use this recipe if one of your neighbors poisons bedbugs, and you do not want them to move in with you.

A mixture of naphthalene, alcohol and vinegar, taken in equal parts, also gives a good effect in pest control. It can poison parasites if it comes in contact with them directly. You can use it if you find a small nest of bedbugs and can completely fill it with this preparation.

Types of poisonous agents

Sometimes homemade bedbug poison can be harmful to insects, but safe or relatively safe for people. There is also poison from bedbugs and cockroaches that harms humans by burning the skin or damaging the respiratory tract. When choosing a substance, you need to consider what type it belongs to. Here are the main groups of insecticides for controlling parasites:

Professional types of poisons

These include such popularly known poisons as:

• Fufanon;
• Karbofos;
• Cucaracha;
• Pyrethrum;
• Forsyth;
• Averfos;
• Digital;
• Xulate C25.

Professional poison can be sold both in the form of an emulsion and in powder form. Among the advantages of such drugs are high efficiency and relatively affordable price. Treating an entire apartment usually costs no more than 1,500 rubles.

Among the disadvantages of the products is a pungent unpleasant odor, and the room will have to be treated twice. It is important that the use of these drugs requires the use of protective measures, otherwise this effective poison can harm a person. Without experience and certain dexterity, using such substances can be problematic.

Household products

• First of all, these are liquid forms. Removing insects with drugs such as bedbug poison Executioner, Get, Delta-Zone and their analogues has its advantages. These nerve chemicals are almost harmless to humans and animals. Most of these drugs are odorless or it quickly dissipates.
• Aerosols and sprays are also widely used. The sale of aerosols and sprays is popular due to their ease of use. The most famous poisons are Clean House from Bedbugs, Combat, Raid. They contain insecticides that have a detrimental effect on the nervous system of pests and cause their paralysis. But they do not always bring the desired result. Here is one of the reviews:

When parasites appeared in the apartment, we decided to try Varan for bedbugs, since we had heard this name of the poison before. As a result, my husband developed allergies, but the bedbugs were still there. After that, we forgot to think about where to buy the poison, and immediately called a disinfection company.

• Powders and dusts are inexpensive and quite effective. In addition, bedbugs, having soiled themselves in such a substance, carry it and infect their relatives. These drugs include Phenaxin, Dust, as well as the poison against bedbugs Hector. Apartment owners often ask which stores sell such poison. You can buy it at any retail outlet offering household goods, and store addresses are available on the Internet.
• Gels are suitable for treating thresholds, window frames, and furniture joints. The poison cannot be applied to soft surfaces. The most popular drugs are Eslandez, Forsyth, Absolute.
• Smoke bombs are not used so often in apartments. The main advantage of their use is that the smoke penetrates into the most remote places. Especially known are such poisons as Quiet Evening, Raptor, Fas, as well as drugs from Japanese manufacturers. True, they do not always help, as the following review confirms:

I don't understand why sulfur smoke bombs are so praised. I tried using Quiet Evening. There were fewer bedbugs, but then it took a long time to finish them off with aerosols and other poisons. But it takes a long time to remove dust and dirt from the apartment.

Traditional methods

Home remedies are usually chosen by people who have encountered the problem for the first time and are afraid to use insecticides. Here are some popular examples.

Vinegar

Acetic acid is used as a poison for insects due to its availability. It does not destroy pests and their eggs, but the pungent odor is repulsive. People have different opinions about this product. Here is one review that will help you understand how vinegar works:

When bedbugs infested the house, we were simply in a panic. They thoroughly processed the apartment, and for some time they really left. But about a month later the infection appeared again. We won’t experiment anymore, we decided to call the SES service.

Turpentine

Turpentine is another chemical with an unpleasant odor. It contains essential oils that insects cannot tolerate. Treat infected areas with a turpentine-based solution. After a few days, the baiting must be repeated.

Owners are often surprised why sofa bedbugs are not removed. But this remedy does not act as a poison, but has a repellent effect and only on adult parasites; their larvae remain intact.

Sagebrush

This herb has been used in the fight against insects for a long time. The answer to the question whether a person can be poisoned by such a folk remedy is negative. If there is no individual intolerance, wormwood will not cause harm.

But you shouldn’t hope that bedbugs will die from it or leave the house forever. They will actually leave the apartment if they find more comfortable housing nearby. However, insects may not survive separation from their previous owners and will soon return again.

The dry plant gives a rather weak effect. To enhance it, it is better to use fresh herb, oil or tincture.

Tansy

This plant has a less pronounced odor, but sometimes it is used against bedbugs. People often ask where they can buy a plant. Dried tansy is sold in most pharmacies. To combat pests, the grass is poured into fabric bags and laid out in areas of infestation, especially near baseboards and under the mattress. Another option is to prepare a decoction of 100 g of tansy and a liter of boiling water.

People's opinions and reviews about bedbug poison based on tansy and wormwood are quite restrained. It makes sense to use such means as a temporary measure and only when the infection is still weak.

Method 7 - ammonia

To get rid of bed bugs once and for all, you can use a special liquid based on ammonia at home. To prepare it you will need:

• 40 grams of benzene;
• 10 grams of ammonia;
• 150 grams of denatured alcohol.

All of the above components will need to be mixed until smooth, poured into small saucers and placed around the apartment. In just a few days, this poison will destroy most of the insects.

Important: remember that this liquid is extremely toxic. It can harm not only insects, but also pets. Make sure that it is completely inaccessible to them.

If you do not need to kill bedbugs, but simply scare them away, you can act much easier with ammonia. All you need to do is pour it pure into small plates and place it near the places through which parasites enter your home. The pungent smell of this product will definitely repel bedbugs.

Method 8 - mechanical processing

You can partially get rid of pests in your apartment and furniture mechanically. To do this, you need to find places where parasites accumulate and collect them manually or using a vacuum cleaner. This method is time-consuming and can be used in homes where chemical surface treatment is undesirable.

Important: if there are quite a lot of bedbugs in your home, using this method of fighting them may not give you good results. In order to significantly increase its effectiveness, use it as a preparatory step before further chemical treatment of the room.

Expert advice for fighting parasites

When choosing a poison for bedbugs, you must follow several basic rules.

• When there are very few bedbugs in the apartment, and you approximately know their possible locations, then it is advisable to try to limit yourself to using an aerosol product.
• But you need to be prepared for a two-stage procedure to get rid of bedbugs, repeating disinfection after about two weeks (to get rid of the larvae that appear from surviving eggs).
• When there are a lot of insects in the apartment, it is best to use sprays. Of these, it is advisable to choose effective preparations without a strong odor, oriented for home use (bed bug remedies Dobrokhim Micro, Get, etc.)

Along with the poison against bed bugs, you can use special Velcro and traps . These remedies work especially well if the paths of movement of bedbugs in the apartment are known and the insects are not in the bed. This method will not completely get rid of bedbugs, but they also give their results.

And finally, when you don’t want to deal with poisons yourself, you can always contact a pest control service . Usually in big cities there are quite a lot of these companies, and in regional centers SES does an excellent job of this task.

Calling specialists costs about 1,500 rubles for removing bedbugs in one room, which can be compared with the cost of the drug for self-treatment of the same room. But at the same time you will receive a guarantee that there will be no bedbugs in the apartment.

Method 9 – dust soap

How is it safe to poison bedbugs in an apartment yourself? You can use a product based on dust soap for this purpose. To prepare this, take:

• half a glass of water;
• 10 ml turpentine;
• 20 ml kerosene;
• bar of dust soap.

You need to dilute the soap in water, after which turpentine and kerosene should be added to the mixture. The resulting mixture should also be applied to all places where bedbugs may be hiding. After some time, be sure to ventilate the room well and wash off any remaining poison from the surface. This must be done because it is toxic not only to insects, but also to pets and humans.

Important: work with this recipe very carefully; under no circumstances allow this mixture to come into contact with your skin. It can cause serious chemical burns.

Effective ways to kill bed bugs in an apartment at home

All methods are divided into several groups:

• mechanical;
• chemical;
• temperature effect.

The first option is used when a nest is discovered. If bedbugs are spotted at home, what to do to poison them is a combined effect. So, first, nests of bedbugs are found; they can be destroyed mechanically. Then the entire room is treated with chemicals, which will allow the remaining individuals to be eradicated.

For some pieces of furniture,

poisonous substances cannot be applied to things, so they use the temperature method.

However, it is not always possible to treat a room in this way, since this often requires the use of special equipment.

Using aerosol insecticides for bedbugs

This method of combating blood-sucking parasites is used if insects have only recently appeared in the apartment; there are still few of them. When treating a room, a fine suspension of a chemical substance (insecticide) enters the air, but quickly settles, making the method less effective.

To improve the result

processing, you can spray the surfaces several more times. This is done after preparing the premises.

The chemical remains on surfaces for some time, continuing to destroy individual individuals. However, it is not possible to poison all bedbugs in this way, but the main part of them. If you plan to use an aerosol, you must re-treat the object, but not earlier than after 1 week. This will destroy the larvae emerging from the eggs.

When spraying, the bottle of poison should be placed at a distance of 20 cm from the surface. The aerosol is finely sprayed and reaches many hidden places

Chemical agents

If the question of how to poison bedbugs in an apartment is being decided on your own, effective means are divided into several groups:

• pyrethroids;
• organophosphorus;
• neonicotinoids;

• organochlorine;
• carbamates.

To get rid of bedbugs

at home, use the products of the first 2 groups.

They act on the nervous system, cause convulsions, and disrupt respiratory function. As a result, the parasite dies soon after contact with the toxic substance. If the question of how to poison a house bug is being decided, you should use only those most effective means that are considered conditionally safe and less toxic, for example, compounds of hazard classes 3 and 4.

Molecule structure of the substance piperonyl butoxide

Highly effective liquid preparations

Concentrated solutions are considered the most effective. This is due to the fact that the treatment is carried out using a spray gun. At the same time, a more significant dose of the toxic substance is released into the air. The insecticide then settles on all surfaces. Parasites inhale the poison and come into contact with it as they move around the apartment. This leads to quick death.

Concentrated liquids

can be used in another way: the substance is applied to the surface with a brush, sponge or brush.

However, this method is less effective in terms of efficiency, since the toxic compound does not enter the air. Effective drugs in liquid form:

• Get;
• Executioner;

• Karbofos;
• Tetrix.

In sprays, the active substance is sprayed mechanically, and not from gas pressure

Application of insecticidal powders and crayons

Such products are inferior in effectiveness to concentrated products and aerosols. It is important to use them taking into account the characteristics of the life activity of parasites. If you are wondering how to properly poison a bedbug, you should remember that the powders need to be scattered where the insects move: along the baseboards, along the perimeter of the bed/sofa, inside the furniture (it must first be cleared of things).

Disadvantage

powder is the inability to process vertical surfaces. Crayons are used in limited areas - they draw stripes where pests live.

Powders and dusts against bedbugs are quite affordable

Destruction of bedbugs by heat treatment ♨

The cooling/freezing method is used, as well as high-temperature exposure. When the first option is used, it is enough to take the contaminated items out into the cold. The longer furniture and textiles are exposed to temperatures down to -25°C, the faster they die. The room cannot be processed in this way.

An alternative option is high temperature exposure. Parasites are afraid of extreme heat. At a temperature of +45°C they stop reproducing and developing. When conditions become even more unbearable (+55°C), the parasites die in a few minutes. Instant death occurs at temperatures of +60°C and above.

For this reason

An effective method is the use of a steam generator. The device processes things and premises.

With a certain amount of skill, a household thermal cleaner can also destroy bedbug eggs and larvae

However, not all types of materials can be exposed to hot steam. Other heat treatment methods:

• washing at temperatures from +60°C and above;
• ironing;
• boiling.

Cold fog

This method is superior to all other options in terms of efficiency, but its disadvantage is high toxicity. The principle of operation is based on the formation of an aerosol cloud, due to which the toxic substance remains in the air for a long time, continuing to destroy pests, and also penetrates into all cracks. In this case, part of the insecticide settles on the surface, where it also contributes to the rapid death of insects.

Household cold fog generators are used. When treating an apartment with cold fog, all doors and windows in the apartment must be tightly closed.

Will quartz treatment help get rid of bedbugs?

Of the options considered, this method should be used last. When exposed to direct rays of ultraviolet radiation, insects will actually die, for example, if you place several parasites in a glass container and leave them near a lamp. However, prolonged use of such a device can also cause harm to residents.

For this reason

At home, it is not recommended to turn on the lamp for a long time. It will not affect bedbugs if it has a short-term effect.

Prolonged quartzing of a room can harm both apartment residents and pets

Method 10 – turpentine

How to effectively poison parasites? A very good remedy against bedbugs at home can be prepared using turpentine and salicylic acid. To get it you will need:

• 6 grams of salicylic acid;
• 80 ml turpentine;
• 40 grams of phenol.

The presented components must be mixed until smooth, and then poured directly onto the bedbug nest. There is no point in wiping surfaces with it - the poison will still need to be washed off so as not to accidentally poison the people living in the house. When working with such chemicals, it is imperative to wear personal protective equipment, including respirators or at least medical masks.

Method 11 – herbs

You can use this method of fighting bedbugs only if the insects have just begun to crawl to you from your neighbors. In other situations, it will simply be ineffective. They use it like this: wormwood or tansy are laid out near the cracks and at the entrance, the smell of these plants repels pests, thanks to which they quickly leave the home.

Important: you can also place wormwood near your sleeping area at home to repel parasites. Its smell prevents insects from finding their prey. It is not recommended to use tansy in this way - it can harm the person himself.

How SES destroys bedbugs

If all of the above methods did not help you get rid of these pests, you should seek help from specialized services. To understand whether such a solution will give the desired effect, you need to understand how the SES poisons bedbugs. In most cases this happens according to the following scheme:

• Initially, the service conducts an inspection in the apartment to identify all places where insects accumulate. Often, representatives of such organizations insist on conducting an inspection of not only the home of the person who called them, but also the apartments of their neighbors. After all, it often happens that the SES is called by residents of relatively safe apartments, to which pests flee from their neighbors.
• Based on the results of the housing inspection, insect baiting agents are selected, and the timing and cost of treating the apartment are also determined. All this is recorded in the agreement between the SES and the residents. The latter are tasked with preparing the room for treatment, since there should be no children or pets in it during disinfestation.

• Next, the apartment is directly processed. It includes the treatment of contaminated clothing, furniture, and surfaces.
• After the disinfestation is completed, residents are invited to inspect the property and also sign a work acceptance certificate.

Important: if bedbugs do not appear in the house within two months after such treatment, disinfestation is considered successful. If it was not possible to get rid of the pests the first time, the SES must be called again.

It’s worth saying a few words about what specialized services use to poison bedbugs. These organizations are allowed to use in their activities only those drugs that cannot cause significant harm to human health. Usually this is Tetrix, Bioprin, Sinusan, Extermin. All these means, when used correctly, allow you to get rid of pests after the first treatment of your home.
