Don't let the bed bugs bite

Bed Bugs are nasty little creatures.    Once upon a time they were nearly eradicated in developed nations with the use of DDT.   DDT is extremely toxic and has been banned.  With the banning of DDT (which is good), Bed Bugs have come back with vengeance (which is bad).

There are a few different natural ways you can natural get rid of Bed Bugs if you do not want to use chemicals.   Essential oils, herbs, heat, and food grade Diatomaceous Earth.      I don't want to get to involved with that but you can google or go to the library to learn more.

I really wanted to discuss how to AVOID getting Bed Bugs so you don't have to worry about getting rid of them.    It's really pretty simple.   Wash your bedding weekly and before you put new, clean sheets on the bed spray the mattress with a Lavender spray.   To make the spray add 30 drops of Lavendula angustifolia to 16 ozs of water.   It needs to be Lavendula angustifolia.

Don't let the Bed Bugs bite!
