Bed bugs, despite their seemingly telling name, are capable of settling not only in beds.

These creepy insects can use the space under wallpaper or baseboards as their shelters.

In addition, they can be found with 100% certainty in the folds of the canopy hanging above the bed.

This fact, by the way, made many people refuse to install such an attractive, it would seem, interior detail, but that is not the point now.

To prevent bedbugs from appearing in your apartment, try to keep it tidy and regularly wash your bed linen and other textiles.

By the way, washing will also help if these parasites have already been found in the bed.

Immediately remove the sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers and put them in the drum of the washing machine, choosing a mode with a water temperature of at least 50 degrees - under such conditions, after 20 minutes the adults will be dead, and after 30 minutes their larvae will also die.

You shouldn't ignore the presence of bedbugs: these creatures reproduce quickly, and their bites often result in allergies and skin diseases.
