Without the help of a professional, it can be difficult to get rid of bed bugs. However, there are several things you can do to remove the bugs from carpets and rugs.
To get rid of bed bugs in your carpet, here’s what to do:
- Use a vacuum with a bag to be able to seal the bugs properly.
- Spread diatomaceous earth on the carpet or rug.
- Thoroughly vacuum, going over the areas at least 2-3 times.
- For very infested carpets, repeat steps 1-3 as much as needed.
- Remove the vacuum cleaner bag outside if possible, and securely seal it before throwing away.
- For extra protection, consider cleaning the rug or carpet with shampoo or get it professionally cleaned.
