环保床臭虫处理选项
Let’s take a closer look at some of the most common bed bug treatments.
Heat Treatment
热处理是摆脱这些小虫子的最有效的方法。它只需要一个热处理来杀死它们。虽然化学处理最多可占三种或四种应用。
The treatment is best done by a professional. First, they seal off the windows and doors of your home. Then they’ll use professional heating elements to raise the air temperature in your home to 120 degrees F or higher.
臭虫不能活在这个极端的热量中。他们必须维持最多90分钟的温度，以确保所有的错误都死亡。如果甚至有几个虫子生存，你就可以在手上遇到另一个侵犯。
And no matter where they’re hiding, the heat will kill them and their eggs. It’s a much more effective method than pesticides. You can leave your home for a few hours and when you return, you’ll be bug-free!
Natural Products
There are a variety of plant-based sprays available on the market. They work best when the bugs are confined to a localized area. They also work in conjunction with heat treatment as an extra measure.
某些精油等茶树油或薰衣草油是对浸湿臭虫有效的。将油与水混合以产生溶液。然后喷洒对受感染区域的溶液。
Another option isdiatomaceous earth。这是一种柔软，易碎的岩石，由硅藻的僵化遗体形成。因为它是一种天然的物质，在你家里使用它是安全的。
Diatomaceous earth is a fine dust that you can spread on the floors and along wall cracks. It works by clinging to the bugs and drying out their bodies. But it won’t hurt mammals.
