Your day is not that good. You had a horrible nightmare the night before. You peed in your bed. You are already late on your appointment. 

What a terrible morning this could be, you though. Then, your right arm starts tom get itchy. You search for the spot and relieved yourself by scratching. 

The next minute, your left knee itches, then there’s another spot in your navel, your right elbow, your back, your butt. Oh my God! Your whole body is itching! 

What a horrible situation that could be! If you have experienced that, you probably have bed bugs in your bed or in your room. 

Because bed bugs cause you too much inconvenience and discomfort, you will certainly be eager to find out how to kill bed bugs. 

-- Killing bed bugs: knowing the target 

First, you may not want to act impulsively and kill bed bugs right away. You have to know a few little facts about them. 

For a start, it will do that you know that bed bugs are insects (what else could they be, anyway?). Bed bugs are tiny little insects but when they fully mature, healthy and aging bed bugs can get as large as one fourth of an inch. Makes you want to kill them more, huh? 

Bed bugs are so tiny, they do not have wings. Thus, you will see them, if you get the lucky chance, crawling on places where they may thrive. Thankfully, they do not have wings. Otherwise, imagine how rapidly they could invade the whole city. You will also find it harder to kill them, if ever they had wings. 

Here are some of other trivial facts about bed bugs that will further invoke your emotions and want more to kill them: 

o       Bed bugs are one of the most persistent insects in the world. Even if you have successfully killed or eliminated them in your home, chances are, another batch of bed bugs will reappear. 

o       Bed bugs not just hide in small and extremely tiny  crevices or cracks in floors, walls, beds or furniture. They live in them. If you are too possessive, kill them, will you?

o       Bed bugs are nocturnal. It means that they are rarely seen during daytime, but they can be found crawling and wandering around at night. This is the time they hunt for food and suck blood from unsuspecting hosts or victims, like you. Kill them! 

o       Bed bugs even without blood from nourishment can endure and survive for at most a year. They can hide within that long period to ensure their survival. 

o       Bed bugs are good travelers because they usually thrive in baggage, suitcases or luggage. Thus, it is not impossible that a bed bug check will find the existence of bed bugs in cruise ships, vehicles, aircrafts, hotels and even motels. 

o       Throughout their entire life span, female bed bugs can lay eggs three times. A female bed bug can lay around 300 eggs per batch. So they populate rapidly, huh? Try to reduce that population by killing some. 

o       Bed bugs’ eggs can be hatched within 10 days. Amazing! That is too fast. No wonder, they spread like bunnies! They multiply that rapidly, but the number reduced from their population is no match. Thus, you should strive and make sure you kill a significant number of them. 

Killing bed bugs: doing the action 

After knowing the little know-whats, it will be time for you to finally embark on the mission---killing bed bugs. 

Nobody will say the task of killing bed bugs will be easy. Killing bed bugs will always be challenging, because finding them and determining their habitat and hiding places will already be a tough act. 

The best way to kill bed bugs is to prevent your hands from doing the crime. Hire a pest control professional, which can be considered bed bugs assassins or triggermen in the lingo of killing bed bugs. 

Pest control professionals know what they are doing and they know which weapon to use to ensure accomplishment of the task. 

Thou shall not kill, according to the Bible, but you should. If killing means, killing bed bugs. Right?
