A tireless traveller, bed bugs do not hesitate to invade our homes. They put their suitcases in the most inaccessible corners and then sneak between our sheets and our mattresses.

How to get rid of bed bugs once and for all? 3 infallible tips
Having bed bugs can be a nightmare. Although associated with the notion of dirty environment, it is not uncommon for them to invade the world’s most luxurious hotels. Because very often, they jump into our luggage to create a new place to live. So if you spot mosquito bites on your body, little black spots on your sheets, your belt, your mattress, your walls or your floor, or slight traces of blood, that should alarm you. You can also recognise them in their small size (about 5 mm), rusty brown color and oval shape. And in front of these insects, don't panic. These simple steps will help you eliminate any invasion.
1. Hot washing, the most effective treatment against bed bugs.
Bed bugs are very difficult to eradicate. So what? Females lay white eggs that usually hatch as larvae after 15 days. They multiply rapidly and are characterized by a long lifespan. It is therefore preferable to use the high temperatures of the washing machine and the steam in the dryer to eradicate them. So, at the slightest sign of infestation, wash everything close to your bed, i.e. pillows, blankets, quilts, fluffy and sheets. You can even use a steam cleaner for curtains and sofas. Hot steam can do wonders for cleaning and pest control.
