“Devilish” bedbugs: how to get rid of them effectively?

A repellent plant: catnip

Catnip, better known as catnip, is an excellent bedbug repellent.  Even if you don’t have a cat , consider planting some in your garden or on your balcony to keep these unwanted insects away.

Soapy water: the lethal weapon

If bedbugs are congregating in large numbers on a wall or window, place a bucket of soapy water under the affected area.  Drop them directly into the bucket; the soap will quickly kill them.  This method is particularly effective in the case of a large infestation.

• Seal your windows and doors  to limit entry points.
• Regularly inspect the area around your home , including shutters, window sills and cracks in walls.

With these preventive measures and the tips offered, you will be able to enjoy an autumn without the inconveniences linked to bedbugs!
