An innovative method can solve bed bug problem in 2 hours by yourself. Chemicals can’t reach inside of mattress; people buy mattress encasement. This is no longer right. It only seals bugs inside of mattress. A bed sized trap seals all of bugs in a bedroom. One trap replaces both mattress and box spring encasements with additional function of no more bites.
Each wash/vacuum/spray effort may kill 8? % bed bugs; but those behind wall and under carpet can suck blood and lay eggs. You may wash/vacuum/spray daily or weekly to kill bugs faster than the egg laying speed. This is similar to a dummy mosquito method which opens windows and sprays chemicals in a house instead of closing windows.
Build sticky barriers, so that bed bugs can’t get access to top of bed, chairs, tables, clothes, and shoes. This is similar to the closing window method. It immediately stops bed bug bites and your daily effort to keep barriers’ function is almost zero. No more bite and zero daily effort mean that you have solved bed bug problem after 2 hours of initial effort.
