Most Effective DIY Bed Bug Treatment Options
If you do not want to pay a bed bug exterminator and would like to save some money and take matters into your own hands, here are some things you can do yourself at home or at your business to help with your bed bug infestation:
First Thing: Purchase a Good Bed Bug Proof Mattress
Use bed bug-proof mattress covers to create a barrier between you and them so they do not have access to feed on your blood. Hence, you are essentially starving them. Bed bug proof mattresses also prevent bed bugs from climbing onto your bed. If they cannot feed they will eventually die, therefore this treatment option is very powerful. However, this solution is not guaranteed to solve your bed bug issue by itself as bed bugs still may be able to get to you while you sleep even if you have a bed bug proof mattress.
Look Under The Bed
Remove items you store under your bed and package them into plastic bags. Many times our pest exterminators find bed bugs under beds and in items that were stored under the bed.
Inspect Dressers
Empty your night tables and dressers and inspect them for bed bugs. They like to hide in the cracks.
Inspect Sofas
Check your couch seams and cushions. Make sure the remove all cushions from your sofas and carefully inspect all seams. Also turn over your sofas to inspect the bottom part of the sofa.
Inspect Under Carpets & Area Rugs
If you have carpets check the edges where they meet the wall for bugs and eggs and also check cracks in your baseboards. Bed bugs like wood and fabric. The best idea is to have your take your rugs to a professional rug cleaning company.
Wash & Dry Clean Everything on High Heat
It is important to clean infested items in your home and prevent them from becoming re-infested with bed bugs until the problem is eradicated. Bed bugs cannot survive steam and hot temperatures so wash your bed covers, linens, laundry hamper, and any fabric/material items you have that could harbor bed bugs on high heat. Dry on the hottest setting as well and be sure to store the newly cleaned items in sealed plastic bags or sealed storage containers. For small items that you cannot wash or are dry clean only, you should put them in your dryer on high heat for at least 30 minutes.
Wrap Large and Non-Washable Items in Plastic Wrap Thoroughly
For things that you cannot put in the laundry at all, you can try to kill the bugs by wrapping the items in plastic and placing them in the hot sun and letting it stay for a few days so the bugs die. Conversely, bed bugs cannot tolerate below freezing temperatures. To try a freezing method, the infested items must be kept at below freezing temperatures for at least two weeks or in a freezer at – 19 degrees Celsius for at least 4 days. There are no guarantees that it will kill all bed bugs but it may be helpful. You could also try putting things in your backyard if it is a freezing winter and let it stay for two weeks.
Purchase a High-Quality Non-Toxic Bed Bug Spray
You can use non-toxic bed bug spray in other items such as handbags. However, they need to be sprayed and sealed in plastic for a period of a few weeks. There are many bed bug sprays on the market, and the best ones are the non-toxic sprays. Do not purchase the toxic bed bug sprays, especially if you have pets or children as they are very dangerous if consumed or inhaled.
Rent a Steam Spraying Appliance or Purchase One and Return It!
Steam kills bed bugs at all their life stages so you can use a steam spraying appliance and aim it at your baseboards and other areas you know to be infested to kill individuals and their eggs. Contrary to what seems logical, steam cleaning should be done before vacuuming to cause whatever survivors are left to evacuate. Vacuuming can then suck up remaining survivors if they are still on the item and should make the bugs more accessible. Steam cleaning your carpets, mattresses and upholstery is beneficial to kill the bed bugs and eggs. Bed bugs die at a temperature of 50 degrees Celsius and steam is at least at the boiling temperature of water which is 100 degrees Celsius. Be careful using a steam cleaner that produces a lot of moisture because you do not want to saturate your mattress and possibly cause mold to grow. Opt for a dry steamer or low vapour steamer to avoid the potential mold issue when ridding your bed of bed bugs. Also, ensure that you steam clean slowly so that the steam gets as far as possible through the mattress, killing as many bugs as possible.
Thoroughly Vacuum Infested Areas After Steam Cleaning
Vacuum all areas of your house. Vacuum mattresses, box springs, bed frames, couches, dressers and carpets thoroughly to remove bed bugs and eggs. To vacuum your mattress, get a sturdy brush for the end of your vacuum so that you can really scrape up and suck away any eggs that are embedded and attached to your mattress. Vacuum thoroughly. Use a nozzle for the seams. Keep the vacuum on long enough at the end of vacuuming to ensure the bed bugs have been sucked up and won’t remain in the vacuum. Make sure to dispose of the vacuum dust canister contents in a tightly sealed plastic bag and remove from your home to prevent the sucked up bugs from escaping and getting back into your home or neighbour’s homes. Wash the canister and your vacuum’s attachments in hot water with detergent. Also, handheld vacuums as well as vacuums that have material bags or fabric hoses are not a good idea to use because they too can become infested. Bed bugs cling to fabrics and wood so be aware of this and be thorough when vacuuming these types of items. Keeping your vacuum in a tightly sealed plastic bag is also a good idea.
Discard Items too Difficult to Clean
If there is something that cannot be washed, heated or steam cleaned you should highly consider discarding the item since you wouldn’t want that one item or items to be the safe haven for the bed bugs.
Seal Cracks and Holes
Seal cracks and loose wallpaper where bed bugs like to stay. During the day they hide in inconspicuous places such as: behind electrical switch plates and picture frames. Use drywall sealant or glue to seal holes and cracks.
Purchase and Spray Insecticide
Spray insecticide into cracks and hard to reach areas. Vacuum the areas first to eliminate dust and debris that may get in the way of the insecticide and decrease its effectiveness.
Purchase Diatomaceous Earth; It Works
Food-grade Diatomaceous Earth is a product that can be used safely in your home to effectively kill bed bugs. It is made of fossilized diatoms and is a dust which sticks onto bed bugs when they crawl onto it. It acts to absorb the natural water-saving cuticle layer of insect exoskeletons causing the bugs to desiccate and die. It is safe and is a good natural alternative to other chemicals. You can use this on your mattress, in cracks, crevices, carpets and more.
Use Bed Bug Traps
Food-grade Diatomaceous Earth is a product that can be used safely in your home to effectively kill bed bugs.

You can use this on your mattress, in cracks, crevices, carpets and more.
You can also try using bed bug traps. You will get the best possible results if you set up many bed bug traps in all infested areas. The reason for having many traps is to kill as many bed bugs as possible so they do not reproduce quickly. Bed bug traps are also great for preventing bed bugs from biting you, as they go to feed in the bed bug trap on the baking soda. There are many videos n the internet, which show how to create a bed bug trap.
Tee Tree Oil Works Wonders
Tea tree oil is a great natural substance that wards off bed bugs. Spray your home and all the furniture with a spray you can make at home consisting of 18 oz of water and 18 drops of tea tree oil.
Places To Look To Find Bed Bugs
Please refer to the images to find the most common bed bug hiding spots.
I had found and killed what looked like a bed bug, so I called this team for an inspection. They were available the next day. I chose the dog inspection and even though it's more expensive, I think it is totally worth it because it gives me peace of mind (especially if eggs are hard to see). My technician Shaharyar was SUPER thorough. He and the dog inspected all likely hiding spots as well as places I personally was nervous about; he didn't dismiss or ignore any of my suggestions for places to inspect. We ended up finding an exoskeleton but no live bugs or eggs, thankfully! Shaharyar also answered all my questions about bed bugs and gave me advice on how to reduce risk of future occurrences. I am very happy with the service for their professionalism, timeliness, and thorough care.
Highly recommend this business. From the initial inspection with Luke, to the completion of the treatment with Zack, we felt well supported and taken care of. Both Luke and Zack were professional, knowledgable and responsive. They answered all of my questions, even making time for follow up phone calls and texts. They always arrived within the appointed window and would call or text in advance to let me know their ETA.
Pestend and Zack did an amazing job helping me get rid of bed bugs, the process is super easy and requires minimal effort from myself. High recommend
