Of all the beasties i have had to cope with, Bedbugs have got to be the most sickening. I hate the little blighters! There are several species of Bedbug but this article will deal with the Common Bedbug ( Cimex lectularius ), as it's the most plentiful, being found in most temperate climates around the world.
The Common Bedbug feeds off human blood and doesn't discriminate between blood groups. The adult has a flat reddish-brown oval body and measures roughly 4-5mm in length. During feeding, their abdomen fills up with blood and expands leaving the bug resembling an apple seed with legs.Ensure proper mattress fitSome log bunk beds come with a metal frame to hold the mattress, but some of the Amish build them with a wood frame to hold both the box spring and the mattress. You don�t have to put a box spring in those beds, but you certainly can.Strangulation deaths have occurred in the US when children fall through openings between the mattress and the frame during the night. Make sure the mattress opening snugly fits the mattress without a lot adjustment room. If the mattress has a gap greater than 3 inches from any side of the mattress to the bed frame, headboard or footboard - it does not fit properly.Examine and test the durability and strength of the bunk bed frame. It should easily hold a parents weight - climb on it and wiggle the frame a bit. A good bunk bed with remain firmly grounded without movement or noise.
So what about the pros ' should you just take the simple route and pay for them to solve your problem? Well if you do, they will come along and tell you to strip the bed so they can start using isopropyl alcohol for bed bugs to the mattress and bed frame / divan base. If they're intensive and know their business, they should also look for possible harbourage across the room and treat these areas too. You are still going to need to deal with sanitizing your bedding, so you must weigh up whether you would like to pay for the spray or the cost of a steam cleaner.
