Seeing even a single bed bug on your precious sleeping area is liable to make you lose your mind, since you would be fearful of the possibility that you’d never get a good night’s sleep again for as long as you live. When you see an insect in any other part of your home, killing them can be rather easy once all has been said and is now out of the way. The reason behind this is that you can just spray some insect repellant on them, and even the ones that survive will return to their hive with the poison on them thereby spreading it to the rest of the colony.
The thing is, the insects that we are talking about here are not in just any part of your home. Rather, they usually set up shop in your bed which makes using bug spray a bit riskier than might have been the case otherwise. After all, you don’t want to douse your mattress with bug poison since breathing this poison in all night long can give you brain damage. A bed bug conventional treatment usually eschews the use of poisons in favor of something that is far more instant as well as safe: steam.
Pumping high temperature steam into your mattress will kill almost every single living creature within it in the blink of an eye. This includes bed bugs, and while you might need to spend a while cleaning the dead insects out, you will likely be really grateful that you were able to use such an efficient method. Gassing bugs can often do more harm than good, but that’s not something steam could ever possibly do.
