furniture legs in cups of alcohol
- Place plastic cups or bowls under the legs of the bed/furniture as a barrier between the floor and bed. Pour 91% rubbing alcohol into each cup. Refill after about a week or so of evaporation. Also, spread Vaseline around each leg above the cups as backup. Also, for any unused blankets in the home, suffocate the bugs by storing in vacuum seal storage bags.

How to Properly Kill Bed Bugs!
- It seems as though alot of poeple are unaware of how to kill bed bugs! I hope everyone will read this information and completely understand what they are dealing with. Beg Bugs are very easy to bring home with you but very hard to get rid of. Bed bugs can survive extreme weather conditions. We pick them up in local spots such as bus stations, hotels, airplanes, to name a few! To properly get rid of them you must call a Pest Control company to come in and clean your home, you must also (depending on the severity) of the infestations, throw out such items as a mattress, sofa, love seat, etc. The items that can't be washed must be thrown out. Make sure you damage them before you throw out so that no one else picks up the used pieces of furniture. Secondly, when you purchase a new mattress, make sure to purchase an encasement that is fully bed bug entry proof, as well as waterproof and breathable, Protect-A-Bed Aller-Zip, I highly recommmend. Get repeat visits from Pest Control co's.

Steam
- If you have a portable steam machine like the ones they advertise on television for cleaning. It can steam and heat up small places you wouldnt think to heat up. I did this and havent seen a bug since and no bites either. Not to mention I have been throwing all bedding the the dryer every day and putting it back on the beds while still hot. I also was spraying pesticide on the floors and base boards every morning before work. Its a lot of work but I think we are winning the fight in my home.

Kill bed bugs
- Bed bugs are great menace, everyone hates them. So you want to kill them right? Hot water technique is difficult to use since you can't put hot water everywhere without damaging the stuff. I have found out that these bugs can also be killed by sprinkling them with kerosene oil. The oil can be poured into the sprayer and then can be used almost everywhere since it is a volatile substance and will evaporate soon, killing the bugs instantly.
