Can you steam a mattress to get rid of bed bugs?
Can you steam a mattress to get rid of bed bugs? Steam cleaning is effective in killing bed bugs including their eggs. However, the effects are temporary and bed bugs can still repopulate inside your property especially if you are not so keen on reaching the insect's hiding spots.
Do bed bugs hate anything?
Bed bugs hate scents such as lemon scents, cinnamon oil, neem oil, spearmint, and silicone. They will hide from you when you use these smells.
Can you still sleep in a room with bed bugs?
Do continue to sleep in your bedroom after identifying a bed bug infestation. If you move rooms or start sleeping on the couch you run the risk of contaminating these other areas of your home. Similarly, avoid taking your bedding from the location of the infestation to other rooms of your home.
