It's an unfortunate reality associated with globalization that bed bug infestations are on the rise. Pest control experts use chemicals to neutralize the adult population but the toxins do not kill the eggs. Steam is the only way to eliminate adult bed bugs and their eggs. Prepare your bed bug steamer according to instructions. Remove bed linens and seal them in a plastic bag for laundering while waiting for the unit to reach operating temperature. When the steamer is ready, steam the carpet, mattress piping, bed frame attachment points and other areas that harbor bed bugs.

Bed bugs can be extremely hard to kill. Some pesticides, including those you can buy at the store, will kill any bed bugs that they actually touch. However, getting rid of hidden bed bugs is almost impossible that way. The best way to kill them is to heat the room they are in to at least 115 degrees F and hold it there for a minimum of 4 hours. The bedbugs cannot survive that much heat for that long.
