How to get rid of bedbugs

Bedbugs? In my car?

It is impossible to imagine a more exotic habitat for blood-sucking insects. But take your time. Although the people, traditionally capable of creating legends about everything, have not yet written anything about bedbugs in a car, precedents have happened.

Theoretically, the question of whether bedbugs can live in a car suggests a positive answer. But in practice, everything is possible. If we take into account the good fertility of human ectoparasites - 300 newborns in a month and a half, and the speed of movement - 40 meters per minute, then it will not be difficult for an insect to move from a person’s clothing into the folds of soft car seats. After all, they move to neighboring apartments through ventilation pipes, balconies, and cracks in the walls. And if they settle there, then expelling them sometimes costs a lot of time, effort and money.

What ways can bedbugs end up in a car? – If these parasites appear in the rooms where people live, then it is quite possible for them to move in the folds of clothing, in the seams of cloth bags, shoes, in books, packages, and cargo. On the paws and fur of pets. Thus, they find themselves in personal, public transport, and taxis. Having studied a new habitat, obligate insects just as willingly transfer to the next person. And the migration of bedbugs in nature occurs.

Bed bugs can hide in the seams and folds of car covers, under seats, and in the trunk. Although these are nocturnal insects, they can come out into the light during the daytime in search of food. One individual is enough for you to have troubles for almost a year. The question arises: how to remove bedbugs from a car?

Many motorists may be horrified by this news. It turns out that common bed bugs thrive not only in beds, but also in various cars. The annual spread of ticks (and they all belong to the order mites) is gaining momentum. Therefore, it is quite natural that such insects can appear in places where it was impossible to find them before. How can they get into the car, how real a threat can they pose there, and how can they be “smoked out” from there? There are a lot of ways of spreading these insects and they have long been thoroughly studied. There are many ways to kill bedbugs yourself. However, this does not make the fight against them any easier.

First of all, it should be borne in mind that this insect never attacks immediately, but hides and waits for the right moment to attack. For this reason, it is simply impossible to notice it in time. Therefore, he will be able to get into the car with some random passenger. First of all, those vehicle owners who are constantly engaged in private transportation are especially exposed to this risk. In order to detect them, you should inspect all the secluded places of the car, remove the covers and, in good lighting, look through all the folds of the material. Considering that these insects like to attack their victims from above, you should especially carefully examine the upper trim of the car. If any insect was suddenly found, you can crush it. The smell that appears will leave no doubt that they have actually moved into the car. If a clear smell of these insects is heard in the car, this means that the problem has gone far enough.

What to do in this case and how to remove them?
Exterminating bedbugs in a car is a rather specific task, but such a simple solution as treating the interior with reagents is unlikely to be suitable in this case. First of all, for the reason that car upholstery perfectly absorbs foreign odors. Official epidemiological authorities may suggest chemical treatment using strong-smelling products. Their smell will be even stronger than the smell of bedbugs themselves in the car. After such treatment, it will be very difficult to sell the car, and driving such a smelly car yourself will not be very pleasant. But in this case there is a way out. The main thing is that you do not need to solve this problem yourself, but it is best to contact the appropriate specialists. Such advice can be obtained online on certain Internet sites. There are ways to optimally solve the existing problem of killing bedbugs in a car. The main thing in this case is to contact the company that will do everything with the highest quality and speed. This problem cannot be ignored or hidden, because... this will only make the situation worse. Therefore, the sooner the uninvited guests are destroyed, the better. TAGS: auto

The fight for living space

Bedbug infestation turns out to be not only a domestic disaster, but also a car problem. Once you realize the scale, take action immediately! And then the advice and recommendations I once heard from friends on how to get rid of small parasites come to mind. To save the car from uninvited passengers, the car will have to be thoroughly cleaned.

An integrated approach will certainly help:

• treat covers, chairs, mats, trunk with spray, powder, but not aerosols;
• vacuum the surfaces, floors and walls of the car;
• wash the car with hot water;
• freeze the car using air conditioning;
• invite exterminators.

Why not call the professionals right away?! They have developed technologies, they know the habits of parasites, they have proven means against blood-sucking insects. Many people do this. However, others are trying to cope on their own. Apparently, this insistence is caused by the fact that in our society there is still an opinion that it is a shame if there are bedbugs in your house, and you should not wash your dirty linen in public. But we now know that there is no connection between the tidiness of the home and the invaders of our territories.

If you have declared war on these small insects, go to the end. All the same, the car needs another headwash. Covers, if they have stood the test of time, can be thrown away and bought new ones. Relatively suitable for washing, steaming, ironing, dry cleaning. Steam the soft upholstery of the chairs with hot steam. Turn the seams out, tape them with tape and see if anyone is stuck. Use a powerful vacuum cleaner to get through hard-to-reach places. Wash the hard surfaces of the machine inside and out with detergent. And review all the things that were in the car.

So, a colossal amount of manual work has been done. Now get your insect repellent on your side. But do not use aerosols with a strong odor, as they can cause allergies and make breathing difficult. Sprinkle bedbug dust under the seats, trunk, and car seat belt slots. Spray Bed Bugs Patrol spray and set up Bug Patrol traps. And mothball the car for a few days. Well, if this doesn’t help, call the exterminators.

Are there pastel bugs in cars?

Strange as it may seem, but yes. Bedbugs in a car (auto) can easily start up . Bed bugs constantly travel, remaining in packages, clothes, furniture, etc. They are able to travel vast distances while hibernating without food. But, as soon as the opportunity arises to come to life and start feeding, the parasites will certainly take advantage of it. Bedbugs are very adaptable parasites. They are afraid of cold and extreme heat, but can live for a very long time without food. Therefore, in any part of the world where there is no frost, the likelihood of catching bedbugs increases markedly.

This means that if you constantly transport strangers, parcels or furniture, then there is a possibility of infecting your vehicle with house bugs. And believe me, you will not be happy with their presence in your personal or work vehicles. [What are the dangers of bed (house) bugs]. In a new environment, bedbugs can adapt and can bite you right on the road in the dark. Bedbugs will continue to spread to passengers, getting on their clothes and in their luggage. Those who often travel and create comfortable places to sleep in their cars also suffer from bedbugs.

For example, you spent the night in a “hostel” (cheap hotel), but upon leaving you picked up parasites in your luggage. They quickly became active in the car, spread and are now even multiplying. An adult bedbug needs to eat 2-3 times a week, maybe less often. Therefore, those who constantly use contaminated transport will have a hard time. At risk, as already mentioned, are taxi drivers and private cab drivers (“bombs”). Also people whose vehicles contain enough cracks and fabric pads (seat covers, insulated upholstery, etc.).

Frequently, truck drivers and those who use so-called “homes on wheels” report the presence of parasites. In relatively comfortable conditions, the parasite will quickly settle and begin to multiply, making your temporary place of residence unsuitable for overnight stays.

How to remove bedbugs from a car?

Poisoning bedbugs in a car is not as difficult a task as it is obscure. Usually, when a car owner suddenly finds out about some “biting bugs,” the first thing he will do is shake the mats and covers. Well, at most he will order an internal wash at the all-inclusive rate. This behavior is partly true, but bedbugs will not settle where they are easy to reach. They will hide under the seats, closer to the cracks from the gaskets and even, periodically, in the seats themselves. For example, having found a hole in the base, bedbugs can easily crawl under the upholstery and set up a “temporary headquarters” there.

to get rid of bedbugs in your car once and for all , you will have to resort to chemical services. Completely clean is also good, but you need to be insured. Bedbugs reproduce easily and are able to restore the population in a short time. To treat the car interior and trunk, you will need various dusts against bedbugs, which can be used in small quantities almost immediately after cleaning.

Important! Before you start cleaning, do not carry all the items from the car home. Together with them, you can bring this parasite into your home. In many cases, this is exactly how bedbugs appear: they are brought in furniture, clothing, a package, or something else.

Poisoning reptiles with dichlorvos, as some car owners advise, is stupid. This will not destroy them. But they are so afraid of hot steam and boiling water. All you have to do is run the steam cleaner generously through all the questionable folds in the car a couple of times, and you are guaranteed to kill most of the lurking parasites. Of course, freezing also helps in the fight against bedbugs: any negative changes in the car lead to the fact that 99% of the colony dies. In the conditions of our Russian Winter, bed bugs do not survive in cars. However, spring and summer will be enough for them to spoil your blood.
