They never leave once they have entered. If u like fumigate heaven and earth, it will only take one month max and they would return even in 2 folds.
Not absolutely true sir!
The secret about winning the war against them is not to relent/relax u have to continue spraying your house repeatedly.

If they enter a new house or clean neighborhood with flats around. And new modern property It can be eradicated.

But if you reside in ghettos or face me i slap you house. And the house is inffected It can never be eradicated completely.

I repeat it can never be eradicated. It's among the senseless war.

Solution pack out leaving inffected property behind. I repeat pack out leaving infected property behind.

Many people believe bed bugs love dirty conditions, and that they’re attracted by filth. This is why many people believe that sleeping in a cheap hotel is a surefire way to get bed bugs.

As it turns out, though, that’s just a common misconception.

Bed bugs are not drawn to dirt or decay. In fact, they can live in any environment, as long as they have access to the one thing they need to survive:

Blood.

Unlike mosquitoes and ticks, which are also blood-eating insects, bed bugs can’t fly or live on their hosts. Instead, they must hide near their food source and wait for a meal to become available to them.

As such, bed bugs are highly adaptable. They can live anywhere from the cushions of a sofa to the carpet of a library, as long as they can access regular blood meals.

If you have bed bugs in your apartment, that’s why!

With that in mind, here are a few main causes of bed bugs:

Purchasing used furniture and bringing it into the home. Bed bugs can enter your space via luggage, purses, backpacks, used couches, and more.

Cross-contamination in a multi-unit environment. Bed bugs can travel between rooms in apartment complexes and hotels.

Contamination from a hotel, resort, or hostel. Bed bugs may get into your clothing or luggage and come home with you.

New people staying in your home. Guests may come to stay at your home, bringing bed bugs with them without knowing.

Have you ever had a dog? We've had two dogs in my family house and I brought one to my personal place here. I had to fumigate and angrily return the dog. Almost every dog has them in it's body unless you treat them regularly. Avoid dogs if bedbugs are a concern for you. Don't say I haven't done anything for you.

So how do we get rid of them incase biko

This chinchi was a menace in our neighborhood back then in the 90s....


Children can share this thing in school like kilode... Op no add that one o


Like the op stated, they can survive multiply in your home for as long as they have STEADY ACCESS TO THEIR ONLY FOOD WHICH IS BLOOD. So to get rid of them, just travel for a couple of months and they will perish naturally.


Try this and you can't stop thanking me.
