Step 3: Use Baking Soda to Dry Out Bedbugs
🔹 Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda on the mattress, furniture, and cracks where bedbugs hide.
🔹 Let it sit for several hours or overnight.
🔹 Vacuum thoroughly.
🔹 Repeat this process every 3-4 days for two weeks.
✅ Why it works: Baking soda absorbs moisture from bedbugs’ bodies, dehydrating and killing them naturally.
Step 4: Steam Treatment for Deep Infestation
🔹 Use a steam cleaner with a temperature of at least 180°F (82°C).
🔹 Slowly pass the steamer over mattresses, furniture, and floorboards.
🔹 Focus on seams, cracks, and hidden spots where bedbugs lay eggs.
✅ Why it works: Steam instantly kills bedbugs and their eggs on contact without chemicals.
Step 5: Use Essential Oils as a Natural Repellent
Bedbugs hate strong scents! Make a homemade spray using:
✔ 10 drops tea tree oil
✔ 10 drops lavender oil
✔ 10 drops peppermint oil
✔ 1 cup water
🔹 Mix in a spray bottle and spritz on bedding, furniture, and around the room.
✅ Why it works: These oils deter bedbugs and prevent reinfestation.
Step 6: Seal and Prevent Future Infestations
🔹 Use mattress encasements to trap and kill any remaining bedbugs.
🔹 Seal cracks in walls, bed frames, and baseboards using caulk.
🔹 Keep clutter minimal—bedbugs love hiding in piles of clothes and paper.
🔹 Regularly vacuum and inspect your home.
✅ Why it works: Sealing their hiding places prevents future infestations.
