You might not wish to think about it, but there are bed bugs in homes across the country. Thriving during spring and summer, households will want to keep on top of the pests and a cleaning expert has shared just how to do this without the need for chemicals or expensive treatments.
Although you may not realise it, bedbugs are likely to be sharing your home. According to the NHS website, the tiny creatures, which measure just 5mm long as adults, live on furniture or bedding and can hide in various places around your home including behind pictures and, of course, in mattresses or on bed frames.
Over the winter, or when temperatures drop below 13 degrees Celsius, bed bugs go into a state of hibernation, according to the Express, and can stay in this dormant state for up to a year. However, when the parasites awaken once the weather warms up and when they sense food (humans) nearby, you need to act to keep them under control and from nipping you.
