Repeat as Needed

STEP FOUR – STAY CONSISTENT

Depending on how severe the infestation is, you’ll need to repeat the process regularly — so frequent inspections are key.

Keep checking common hiding spots every few days for at least 2 to 3 weeks.

• Quickly eliminate any new bugs using the same spray and steam method.

• Re-vacuum and re-wash fabric items as needed to stay ahead of the problem.

🛑 Quarantine Rooms = Safe Sleep Zones 🛏️

To keep bed bugs from sneaking into your room at night, block the gap under your door with something simple like a towel or small rug.

This not only helps seal off your room and stop them from crawling in, but also traps your body heat, carbon dioxide, and scent—so they’re less likely to detect and follow your trail from the hallway.

🚫 Keep Them Out for Good

Inspect everything before it crosses your doorstep.

Bed bugs don’t just appear—they hitchhike in on used furniture, luggage, clothes, and even guests.

✅ Check items before bringing them inside
✅ Be extra cautious with used furniture or deliveries
✅ Ask guests to avoid bringing bags into bedrooms

Time to spy on ’em.

You can buy bed bug traps online (like on Amazon). They attract and catch bugs using CO₂ bait, letting you know if any are still lurking.

✅ Use commercial bait traps
✅ Try a DIY sugar + yeast CO₂ trap
✅ But nothing beats **a flashlight + visual inspection

💡 *Catching even one confirms they’re not gone yet!

🕵️‍♂️ Still Seeing Bugs After 2 Weeks?

If they’re still showing up fast, it’s time to hunt down the source.

🔍 Ask yourself:
• Did I bring in used furniture?
• Have guests stayed overnight recently?
• Have I traveled or stayed somewhere sketchy?

💡 Find the entry point—cut off the invasion at the root!
