Understandably, most people\u2019s reaction when they first see a bug in their home is \u201cEw, <\/span>go away!!!\u201d. <\/span><\/i>Some prefer to kill the invading bugs, others prefer to carry them outside and set them free. Either way, the desire is the same: to get that bug out of their house and away from them as quickly as possible! Consequently, when you find bed bugs, you may be dismayed to find them in groups, meaning it\u2019ll be harder to just pick them up and carry them outside or use a tissue to kill them. So <\/span>what can you do to kill the bugs<\/span><\/a> instantly?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Removing Bugs One at a Time Likely Won\u2019t Help\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

Unfortunately, removing the bed bugs one at a time won\u2019t be effective. Unlike spiders, flies, or other creatures that sneak into your home once in a while, bed bugs tend to gather in groups and stick around. So even if you remove one or two bed bugs, the others will stay right where they are and you\u2019ll still have a problem. Even if you remove the items that the bed bugs have appeared on, this may not get rid of them entirely. For example, if you\u2019ve found bed bugs on your sheets, it\u2019s certainly not a bad idea to get rid of those sheets. However, don\u2019t assume that you\u2019ve gotten rid of the bed bugs because you\u2019ve gotten rid of the sheets. They can easily transfer to other areas of your home, especially carpet or upholstery.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can Sprays and Traps Kill Bed Bugs Instantly?<\/span><\/h3>\n

When it comes to chemical treatments and sprays, you may get mixed results. Most chemical sprays require direct contact with the bug to kill it. Bed bugs are very small and tend to hide in tiny cracks and crevices, sometimes even in places such as <\/span>the spine of a book<\/span><\/a>. Because <\/span>they\u2019re so good at hiding<\/span><\/a>, it\u2019s difficult to find all of them and eliminate them individually, which is what you\u2019d have to do with chemical sprays. Bed bug traps usually do not work very well. For one thing, they don\u2019t kill the bed bugs, they only trap them. If you pick the trap up to empty it and spill it, you\u2019ll have to start all over again. This might sound silly, but it\u2019s been known to happen!<\/span><\/p>\n

Heat Treatments<\/span><\/h3>\n

Heat treatments are one of the most common- and one of the best- ways to kill bed bugs. They won\u2019t kill bed bugs instantly on contact, but heat does kill bed bugs in under 24 hours. During a heat treatment, a home is heated to over 150 degrees, which is too hot for bed bugs to survive for very long. Since heat penetrates even the tiniest cracks in walls or floors, you can be sure that none of the bed bugs in your home will be able to escape the effects of a heat treatment. Within 24 hours, the bugs have been eliminated and peace has been restored to your home. So while there\u2019s really no <\/span>instant <\/span><\/i>fix for bed bugs, heat treatment is fast, easy, and doesn\u2019t leave the same gross chemical smell as most sprays do, making it the best choice to get rid of bed bugs quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n
