by


1️⃣ Make a powder:
– Grind whole cloves into a fine powder.
– Sprinkle it around mattress seams, cracks, and under the bed.

2️⃣ Make a spray:
– Mix clove essential oil (about 15–20 drops) with 1 cup of water.
– Shake well and lightly spray around the infested areas.

3️⃣ Repeat:
– Reapply every few days after vacuuming to maintain the smell and repel bedbugs.

⚠️ Note:
These are natural deterrents and may help discourage bedbugs, but they will not completely eliminate an infestation. For severe problems, professional treatment is recommended.

  2. Control Humidity: Use a dehumidifier to keep levels below 50%.
  3. Vacuum Often: Focus on mattresses and surrounding areas, and use mattress protectors for extra protection. 🌿✨

    • Invest in zippered, hypoallergenic covers to block pests from entering the mattress and pillows.
  2. Lower Humidity Levels:
    • Keep indoor humidity below 50% using a dehumidifier to create an unfavorable environment for dust mites.
  3. Vacuum Frequently:
    • Vacuum the mattress, bed frame, and surrounding areas regularly to remove dust, skin cells, and pests.
  4. Inspect Secondhand Items:
    • Thoroughly inspect and clean used furniture, mattresses, and clothing before bringing them into your home.
