It is quite possible to etch insects from their homes with the help of sprays from bed bugs, which need to be treated all the places where apartment parasites accumulate.
Bed bugs are not just settled near a person, but where it's easiest to drink his blood, that is, to get food. During the day, insects hide in crevices of the floor, beds, bedside tables, cabinets, other furniture, behind the frames of paintings and mirrors, under radiators, carpets and other interior items, from where it is convenient to creep out at night in search of food.
All these points must be found and sprinkled in order to destroy as much as possible the population of pests and their larvae, which have increased resistance against poisons. In this regard, the treatment of sleeping rooms remains the center of the entire area to be treated against bedbugs. In addition to using a spray from bed bugs, you should know that it is possible to effectively remove bloodsuckers from linen, curtains, other tissues when washing in hot water (from 50 degrees) or freezing (at minus 22), since they can not withstand such temperatures. If there are a lot of bedbugs, two or three treatments are required for complete extermination, with a short break.
Often for these needs, a time-tested insecticide, Dichlophos, is used. It should be noted that a modern, improved version of the insecticide is produced under a well-known brand. Comparatively inexpensive spray from bedbugs will be by the way in temporary housing to protect yourself, for example, for a rest or business trip.
