New Jersey bed bug infestations are up and it’s important to take precautions when your college student returns home so that you do not have a bed bug infestation on your hands.
Laundering clothing is a critical step in preventing a bed bug infestation. Bed bugs are not able to withstand heat over 113 degrees so all clothing and bedding that is brought home by your college student should be immediately put through the laundry cycle. Using the hottest temperature setting will kill pesky bed bugs and their eggs.
Using mattress encasements on your beds is a good way to help protect your family from a bed bug infestation as well. Encasements keep bed bugs from being able to infest your bed and they make it easy for you to be able to spot bed bugs if they happen to enter your home.
Bed bugs are not a pest that can be treated on your own. These pests are very elusive and over-the-counter pesticides do not provide effective treatment. Additionally, out of desperation many people turn to using pesticides that are deemed safe only for outdoor use. Using outdoor chemicals indoors is very dangerous and can cause illness or even death. If you have a NJ bed bug infestation, it’s best to contact a licensed NJ pest control specialist who will be able to provide proper treatment for your bed bug problem. Allison Pest Control provides excellent NJ bed bug eradication services to Ocean, Middlesex and Monmouth counties.
