However how are you meant to get rid of bugs if you don't know how to look out for them? Here are some symptoms of bed bugs in your home.

  1. If you can see bites on your body that get smaller over time then this is a sure sign that you have bugs, although it could be other kinds of insects too.
  2. If you are itchy at night that may be a symptom of bed bugs.
  3. Bed bugs are quite hard to find, they usually hide in cracks in the bed cover or the wall, so you should look carefully there and see if you can see them.
  4. Sometimes you can see darkened patches on the bed cover which are caused by the bugs excrement.
  5. Often there will be a musty odor in the room or even in the whole house if you are heavily infested, this is definitely a sign that you have bugs in your bed.

Do you want to kill those pesky insects that are making your life a living hell but can't afford a professional?

I know how you feel...I have been there and done that.

I can't tell you how crummy my life was when the bed bugs were infesting my bed.

Have you looked into mixing your own powder or dust to kill the insects? Bed bugs have a waxed shell and are vulnerable to getting dehydrated if they crawl through the wrong stuff. They are also killed by the sharp edges of the powder that abrades their shells.

So what is this home made remedy? It is this:

1. Create your own powder out of Diatomaceous Earth. You can obtain the diatomaceous earth at a pet store because it is used in aquarium filters as well as kitty litter.

2. Another substance that works the same is Silicon Dioxide crystals. These powders are also found in some types of kitty littler.

With both of these powders, you may have to grind the powder to a fine dust in a blender. That will make it easier to spread around the room. Dust all the seams and crevices in your mattress on both sides.

Be sure to dust all the cracks and gaps in the bed frame as well.

After dusting, you can enclose the mattress in a bed bug proof plastic cover. A handy tip is to use duct tape on all the zipper closures for a complete seal.

Follow up with a thorough washing of all the bed clothes in very hot water and dry on the hottest setting.

Warning: Be sure not to neglect this above tips or you will still have the horrible pest problem
