Truly Care・Bed bug elimination plan:

  1. Please remove all sheets, pillowcases, bedspreads, curtains, sofa covers first, put them in a big plastic bag and tie them up. *Attention, please try to do the above actions in rooms where bed bugs are found to prevent bed bugs from spreading to other rooms*. Then use hot water above 50 degrees to soak clean and then use a dryer to dry at high temperature.
  2. Empty closets, bedside tables and drawers for inspection and pest control. Put the clothes in a clean plastic bag and tie the knots and dispose of the clothes as in point 1.
  3. Use a professional hot steam machine to spray steam with high-performance pressure to steam and wash mattresses and pillows, and directly kill and remove young lice and bed bug feces buried in tiny cracks.
  4. Use safe and environmentally friendly drugs imported from the United States (low toxicity). They are mainly sprayed on the bottom of the bed and in the cracks of the closet that people cannot touch. The advantage is that the drug is tasteless and residual, and can pierce the surface of the lice eggs and make the bed. Lice slowly poisoned and died.
  5. Truly Care has been using professional high-temperature steam steaming and cooperating with government-approved safety and environmental protection drugs to eliminate the treatment within one month, effectively according to the growth cycle (adults, larvae and eggs) and their living habits.

How to potentially encounter bed bugs

The most common scenario is during travel, such as visiting tourist spots or staying in crowded places like dormitories and hotels, where bed bugs may be present. They can attach themselves to backpacks, clothing, luggage, especially luggage wheels. If these places are infested with bed bugs, there's a high chance of picking them up. Additionally, common hiding spots include transportation seat cushions, armrests, seat belts, carpets, etc.

 

 

Common breeding grounds

The most common breeding grounds include mattresses, bed frames, bed sheets, blankets, carpets, curtains, upholstered furniture, sofas, gaps in wooden chairs, and more. Bite marks typically appear on exposed parts of the body during sleep, such as the face, neck, arms, and hands. Some people may take up to 14 days to develop bite marks. Reactions to bites vary from no visible symptoms to small red rashes, and severe cases may lead to allergic reactions. Allergic symptoms may include the expansion and pain or swelling of bite marks. Itching caused by bite marks may increase the risk of secondary skin infections. Bed bugs can be found in the folds of mattresses and sheets. Moreover, shed bed bug shells or rust-colored spots (bed bug feces) may be found on mattresses or nearby furniture.

 

Bed bugs life cycle

The bed bug life cycle consists of three stages: egg, nymph, and adult. Eggs hatch into nymphs in about a week at 18 to 25°C. The nymph stage lasts approximately 14 to 30 days. Adults can live for 9 to 18 months and can reproduce 6 to 7 generations per year in suitable environments.
