Are You Suffering with Bed Bugs?

So what are bed bugs, anyway? Everyone has heard of them. They're essentially little bugs that are nocturnal and feed off human blood. There are actually a lot of different kinds, including some that feed off certain types of animals like chickens, but the ones most people are worried about live mainly off humans. They usually live inside of mattresses, where they have convenient access to a food source - you. They crawl out just before dawn and bite you, sucking out blood for about five minutes. You don't feel anything until after the bed bug is already safely back in its home.

They will usually bite once a week or so, and they can actually live for a long time without feeding - usually six months, but sometimes over a year.

Bed bugs can infest all kinds of different places in your bedroom. Most often they're in the mattress - in the seams, the box springs, or sometimes the linens. However, they can really be anywhere near where people sleep - furniture within crawling distance, carpet, books, phones - they've been found in all kinds of random things, because they don't create a nest, they just hide somewhere.

GREEN WAYS D

GREEN WAYS D is and all natural product that is harmless to you. GREEN WAYS D is odorless and is most used when controlling bed bugs. Works well in cracks and crevices, useful in any area. Can be used indoors and outdoors. GREEN WAYS D is safe for pets and children. Active Ingredient: 100%, Diatomaceous Earth

GREEN WAYS D contains 100% diatomaceous earth which is the fossilized skeletal remains of single celled phytoplankton commonly referred to as diatoms. It works by dehydrating insects through a desiccating action. The absorptive properties of the fossilized cell-walls easily remove the cuticle outer waxy layer. This results in the loss of an insect ability to maintain proper fluid levels ultimately leading to death. Unlike boric acid dusts that work best when ingested, GREEN WAYS D only requires contact with the insect to be effective.

· Bed bugs are a crawling insect, meaning they can not jump or fly.
· GREEN WAYS D is a contact killer, meaning if a bed bug touches the powder it will die within 24 to 72 hours. (They typically die in hiding, so it's normal not to find any dead bed bugs in the powder).
· Bed bugs feed exclusively on blood.

With these three facts in mind, all you have to do to be successful in treating any bed bug infestation with GREEN WAYS D is:

1. Make a Barrier

· Make a barrier of powder between the bed bugs and their food source. You must ensure that in order for them to crawl to you they must touch/crawl over the powder at some point! (Remember, they may be hiding on the mattress or bed frame itself as well as around the room).
· Treat the bed: Diatomaceous Earth is an EPA registered products that you can use on the mattress itself! Treat both sides of the mattress. Also treat around the room in places bed bugs like to hide.
· Helpful hint: If you can fit the edge of a credit card into a crack or crevice, bed bugs can fit in too!
· Maintain the Barrier! The barrier has to be constant for the entire treatment period. Even a day lapse could set you back by weeks.
· Keep the powder down for 7 days at a time. At the end of the 7 day period, vacuum up the powder and reapply a new layer.

2. Sleep in Your Bed!

It is very important that you continue your regular sleeping habits during the course of this treatment. The reason is when starved, bed bugs will typically do one of two things:

· Leave the room where you used to sleep, looking for a blood meal. They have been known to travel up to 100 yards to other bedrooms or even adjoining apartments. (In short, you will spread the infestation).
-Or- · Enter into a hibernation type state allowing them to survive for up to 7 months without a blood meal. They will wait in this state until they sense the carbon dioxide and heat released by someone returning to sleep in the room.

3. Treat Once-a-Week for 4-6 Weeks
