Discovering your home is infested with bed bugs could be akin to realizing you have rats or roaches. Ironically, you may be better off having to deal with rats or roaches, as horrible as this may sound, because rats and roaches aren't likely to prey on you night after night drinking your blood while you sleep; and rats and roaches may be easier than bedbugs to eradicate.

Bedbugs are small and flat and can fit in very tiny hiding places. Getting rid of bedbugs using any old insecticide could be harmful to you, your family, your pets, and to visitors in your home. Finding natural remedies for ridding bedbugs can be a bit exhausting. For this reason, the following natural remedy tips for bedbug riddance have been compiled to help you on your way.

Natural Remedy Bedbug Removal Tip Number 1 - The easiest and most natural remedy available to rid bed bugs is simply to encase your mattress and your box spring in bedbug proof mattress and box spring covers. Good covers should prevent bedbugs from getting in or out of the mattress or the box spring. It should be noted that these materials might alter the feel of your bed when you sleep on your bed. In addition, yes-sleeping on your bed is an essential part of ridding your home of bedbugs. The reason for sleeping on a bed when treating it is simply that bedbugs come out at night and move toward carbon dioxide and heat they sense from your body. No body - no bedbugs coming out - or perhaps and even worse - bedbugs move to another room where warm bodies are available!

Now if you have money you don't mind spending to replace your mattress - and you'd rather spend it than treat your mattress - go ahead and spend it. You should know, however, that just because you replace your mattress doesn't mean you will completely eliminate bedbugs from your home. Fact is, odds are, you will only remove a portion of the little irritating scoundrels.

Bedbugs may also be found in crevices of your bed frame and any other parts of the frame they care to occupy. They may also be found in your bedside tables, your dressers, bureaus and any other furniture in the room the varmints determine to inhabit. Chances are, you won't want to get rid of all furniture in the room. Besides, bedbugs also hide in closets, between molding, between carpets and walls and many other areas the tiny little critters can fit. Even greater than getting rid of your furniture, odds are, you won't want to throw away your entire room - or your entire home!
