They come at night

It all started with the fact that bugs started in our communal apartment. When they got to my room, I began to look for ways to destroy them. No chemical treatment was killed, bugs became more and more

It is not customary to talk about bed bugs. Meanwhile, they are rapidly spreading in residential buildings, hospitals, cinemas, hotels. According to Rospotrebnadzor, the number of these insects almost doubles every year.

And in recent years, the number of tropical bugs has greatly increased in Russia. Outwardly, they differ little from ordinary, but more resistant to poisons. Tropical bugs have long legs, they know how to crawl along smooth vertical surfaces and bite a person not only at night, but also during the day.

The problem of infection with bugs is dangerous not only because of its scale, but also because of public prejudices. Bed bugs is ashamed and dirty. Faced with them, people feel horror and disgust. Friends and relatives avoid visiting and inviting those who have bugs at home.

Itching from bites, allergic reactions, sleepless nights, a threat of reputation, constant anxiety - all this leads to huge emotional stress.

“They come at night” - the stories of people who fought with bugs. Aromatic herbs, vinegar, iron, meditation, smoke bomb - an incomplete arsenal of the fight against tiny insects.

Almost all the heroes asked not to indicate their real names (and they are changed). But participation in the project for them is an opportunity to talk about a problem, to talk about which is not very accepted.

Method 1. Aromatherapy

Bunches of dried herbs of rosemary, St. John's wort, thyme, wormwood or valerian lay out bugs in the habitats. Wipe all the hard surfaces of the bed with 9% table vinegar in a clean or diluted form.

Lyuba : I have never encountered bugs before. I experienced literally animal fear, I had nightmares. The light did not extinguish at all at all. I slept in clothes, doused the sofa with vinegar, laid out aromatic herbs.

I remember: I dozed off, I open my eyes, and two bugs on the back of the sofa.

Once I came to visit a friend. And I realized that I don’t want to go home. I asked him to spend the night. He replied: "You can, only you will stroke your clothes with an iron all night." And I also liked this guy!

Method 2. High temperatures

In the iron, set the maximum temperature and iron clothes, linen, mattress. Pay special attention to seams and folds.

Katya: A terrible feeling: in bed there is someone else except you, and this someone drinks your blood.

I was lying in bed when I noticed that someone was crawling nearby. I was not sure that this was a bug. I poured water into the bank and lowered it there. I could no longer sleep.

In the morning I got up very early. I began to inspect the whole bed. I knew that high temperatures kill bugs. There was no steamer, but there was an iron. I ironed the whole bed, linen, pillows in the hope that if someone was there, then he died. Processed everything around vinegar. I did not find traces of other bugs. But for another two weeks I slept badly. It seemed to me that someone was crawling for me.

Method 3. Meditation on space purification

Spread the rug on the floor . Slowly turn thoughts inside your body. C OSAD the mood to the space of internal silence through the phrase: "Everything that happens in the outside world does not bother me, but only helps me."

Ira: I did not invite them to my house. And I do not allow living where I am. Bed bugs do not have the right to be here.

Meditation helps me. I am now working on cleaning space. The problem is the contaminated energy of this place. It is necessary to change and harmonize the space. So far, bugs do not seem to be visible.

I threw the bed and mattress.

Method 4. Molok "Mashenka"

Out the circumference of hard -to -reach places where insects like to arrange nests: the rear walls of furniture, the internal cavities of cabinets and sofas. For the greatest efficiency, circle the entire room around the perimeter with a continuous line with a width of at least two centimeters. The activity of the chalk strip remains for a long time.

Elena: We replaced the floor, crossed the wallpaper, threw out the bed. I added carbophos to the wallpaper glue. But they still crawled from somewhere. As if they had fallen off the ceiling.

The husband regularly sprayed everything with dichlorthos. I outlined the circle of small "Mashenka" at night.

The brother laughed at me, then somehow we left, and he stayed. He calls us in the middle of the night, asks: "Where is the Call?"

Method 5. Powder "Hector"

The peculiarity of Hector drugs is that they are detrimental to bugs (and other insects), leading to rapid dehydration and death . The room must be processed in a respirator. In order to prevent dust from getting into the eyes, use protective glasses.

With a uniform layer, apply the product to the alleged habitats of arthropods . Use special traps under the legs of the bed. Pour the powder with a layer with a thickness of about one centimeter into a plastic container. Each leg needs to be installed in such a container. Three or four for after disinsection, it is necessary to get the dead pests, the remains of the poison should be assembled and washed into the sewer.

Tatyana : I felt something crawled down my face. She jumped up sharply, turned on the table lamp and found a huge fat bug on her pillow.

The rest of the night spent on the Internet in search of modern means to combat bugs. The choice fell on the powder "Hector". The advertisement said that he was harmless to humans and animals.

I processed them the whole room. The powder was everywhere: on the walls, on the bed, on the floor, on me, in the air. All the neighbors in the communal apartment came running. The dust from this powder came to them. The smell of wet plaster was everywhere. Eyes were watery, it was difficult to breathe.

The next morning I woke up with a severe headache and thirst. But my suffering was not in vain. On the back of the sofa, I found several dry corpses, dry, like a herbarium.

Method 6. Removing an infected object

The sofa and other sleeping places where bugs are discovered immediately throw out. Write a note that the sofa is infected with bugs.

An alternative option is to disassemble the design, remove the upholstery, treat all areas with a suitable insecticide.

Dasha : It was in a rented apartment. My neighbor and I pushed the sofa from the wall and saw bugs there.

There was a feeling that if we throw out the sofa, then the problem would disappear. This, of course, is stupidity. But I realized that I could no longer sleep on him. Therefore, together with a friend at three in the morning we pulled out a huge double sofa from the fourth floor.

And then I slept on chairs for several nights. A friend slept on the floor - and I was dumb. She put up four chairs in a row and slept in the pose of the Momia. It seemed to me that it was hard for them to climb on chairs. Every evening I lubricated the legs of chairs with vinegar.

Method 7. Provak processing

Find a person who is engaged in happiness .

Pervak ​​- the first (head) parts that leave the moonshine. They contain a very high concentration of harmful impurities, methyl alcohol, acetone, etc.

To carry out processing, pour the finished solution into the sprayer and irrigate the treated surface. The drug does not kill bugs, so the treatment must be carried out twice, it should be repeated after the exit of the larvae from the eggs (after a month).

Ivan: He caught several bugs and put in a jar. The battalion commander injected - zero effect. "The executioner" - too.

One evening I drove moonshine. When the mash begins to distill to moonshine, some part (Pervak) should cast, it cannot be drunk-it is poisonous and smelly. But almost 100 degrees.
In short, I took this bubble with Pervak ​​and drove three drops into a jar of bugs. After a second, ten bugs seemed to be shot! And the next day he sprayed upholstered furniture. While he processed - so he almost collapsed from the smell, stunned. For more than a month I walked unstressed.

Method 8. Packaging of sleeping places

Polyethylene packaging is made after the first processing with insecticide and drying the mattress. The berth must be moved from the wall by 15-30 centimeters . Put a wide film on top of the bed , thrown over the backs . On the sides, the film should be slightly wrapped under the bottom of the bed or sofa . Take it in places with tape so that the film does not move off during sleep .

Buy or build canopy over the sleeping places.

Ekaterina: Red pimples appeared in her arms. Himed very strongly. Then all over the body. I went to the dermatologist. I drank a bunch of drugs. And then the culprits were found. I was in shock.

I called the SES and processed the whole room. But! Bed bugs did not die right away. I had to wrap the whole bed with a film. On the smooth surface, they cannot climb, but they can crawl along the wall to the ceiling and spin out of there. Therefore, I had to cover it on top.

Method 9.

Bed linen, clothes, books, paintings must be folded in plastic bags, having previously treated with insecticide.

Valya: I woke up from the fact that someone shone with a flashlight in my eyes. My neighbor in the room stood at me and examined something.

“Quiet,” she whispered, “bugs.”

I immediately jumped up, threw a blanket from the bed, a pillow. Bed bugs were everywhere.

Then I packed the bedding with bugs in garbage bags, the bed wrapped a stretch. She lay on the floor, wrapped herself in a sleeping bag, and around it spread the flowers of the immortality. They scare insects. So I spent all night. In the morning they called a private disinsection service.

The room was processed with the latest method of “cold fog”, spent a lot of money.

In the evening they returned home, and the bugs were running and running.

Method 10. Scythe Smoke "Quiet Evening"

Close everything tightly ok and the doors in the room. Glue with tape all the ventilation holes. Do not allow smoke to spread beyond the processed space.

Place the checker on bricks, metal sheet or in a bucket. Start the combustion reaction. Survey is safe for people and animals.

Lena: bugs appeared in our wooden house. Once from her aunt I heard that bugs are smoked. I went to the veterinary pharmacy. Told about her misfortune. The seller of a good man turned out to be. He advised to burn sulfur checkers.

Somewhere I read that the shamans expel bugs with smoke. This, of course, is a radical measure. But if nothing helps, then you can.
