How to get rid of bedbugs easily and quickly: useful ways

UAportal has prepared effective ways to remove bedbugs from your home with the help of simple home ingredients. Say goodbye to these annoying insects and regain control over your home without resorting to harmful chemicals.

Create a bed bug spray with your own hands

Mix equal parts of medical alcohol and water in a sprayer.You can spray infested areas with this mixture, such as the bed, mattress, and surrounding furniture.

The bed bugs make contact with the spray and then the medical alcohol helps them die. Repeat this procedure every few days until the bed bugs are completely eradicated.

Try baking soda

Sprinkle baking soda liberally all over the infested areas, paying special attention to cracks and crevices where bed bugs may be hiding. Leave the baking soda in place for a few days as it dehydrates and kills pests.

Use essential oils

Tea tree oil, lavender and peppermint oil are known for their insecticidal properties. Mix a few drops of your chosen essential oil with water and spray around the bed and other infested areas.
