Tips To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs: Be it winter or summer, if there are bedbugs in the bed, then both the peaceful sleep and the peace of the day disappear. Bed bugs come out at night and suck blood, which causes red marks, itching and rashes on the skin. Many people become so troubled by this problem that they change the bedsheet every day, keep the mattress in the sun, try a million types of sprays, but the bedbugs still come back. Generally, it is considered difficult to eliminate bedbugs and even pest control sometimes does not give complete results. But now you do not need to buy expensive sprays or spray pesticides.
Nowadays, a very easy and cheap home remedy of a YouTuber is going viral on social media, in which it has been told how to get rid of bedbugs by using camphor worth only Rs 2 and a black thing i.e. the spice of incense sticks. The good thing is that this method can be done with items available at home and shows immediate effect. In this article, we will explain to you step-by-step in simple language how bed bugs, cockroaches and even rats run away with this home remedy. If you want to get back the night’s sleep and the safety of your bed, then definitely follow this method once.
1. Preparing powder from camphor and incense sticks
The beginning of this recipe is very simple. You have to buy camphor worth Rs 2 from any grocer’s shop. Put camphor in a plate or mortar and mash it well. Grind it so finely that it looks like powder. Now take 5 incense sticks from the puja room and remove the black spice from them. This spice is actually made of aroma, smoke and such elements, which do not allow insects to come around it.
Put camphor and incense sticks together in a mortar and pound well. Within a few minutes it will become a very fine and uniform powder. The strong smell of camphor and the smoky effect of black spice, together prove to be very effective in driving away bed bugs.
2. Dividing the mixture into two parts
- Now divide this powder into two parts:
- a bigger portion
- second small
Put the large portion in a plastic container and add some water on top and leave it for about two and a half hours. During this time, the elements of camphor and incense sticks completely dissolve in water and a strong smelling liquid is prepared. The smaller portion will be used later to make a bundle, which will keep bed bugs away for a longer period of time.
3. Preparing bedbug spray
After two and a half hours, filter the soaked mixture in the container and fill this liquid in a spray bottle. This liquid camphor has such a strong smell that insects are afraid to come near it.
- Now spray this:
- on the bed frame
- mattress stitching area
- in the corners of the bed
- in the cracks of the wall
- in wooden furniture joints
Bed bugs are mostly active at night, so spray during the day so that the smell spreads well in the room and the effect is greater.
4. Making a bundle for prevention (long-term solution)
Add a little flour and ghee to the small portion of powder that is left. Flour and ghee are necessary for its binding. Now take small pieces of old paper or cloth. Place a teaspoon of this mixture on each piece and make small packets.
- Keep these bundles hidden:
- in the corners of the mattress
- under the bed
- inside bed box
- in the corners of pillow covers
- behind the cupboard
The continuous fragrance of camphor does not allow bedbugs to come near. According to the YouTuber, this bundle also helps in keeping the rats away, because rats do not like the smell of camphor.
5. Drive away cockroaches with the remaining thick mixture
- The thick mixture left after preparing the liquid is also very useful. Don’t throw it away.
- Place it in a small lamp or bowl and put some cotton on it. Now this bowl:
- inside kitchen cupboard
- in kitchen drawers
- storage space
- bathroom corners
- Keep it hidden. Its smell prevents cockroaches from coming there.
