Pest control experts have revealed how you can prevent bedbugs from entering your home and fix the problem before it becomes an infestation.
Nobody wants to deal with an outbreak of bedbugs - tiny red-brown insects the size of a grain of rice that spend their entire lives indoors and feed on human blood.
They're nocturnal, meaning they usually come out at night while you're asleep, but they can also learn how to mimic a human's sleeping patterns.
So if you think you've spotted some, it's vital that you deal with the problem quickly to ensure that they're gotten rid of, reports the Express.
The experts at Shield Pest Control said: “While these are effective home remedies, you may also wish to call for professional help to securely process the extermination of your bed bug infestation."
Some areas in the home that are worth checking out are mattress seams, under sofa cushions, behind bed frames or underneath loose wallpaper. Once you know where they're hiding, and determined how serious the infestation is, it's time to work on containing the bedbugs.
Bedbugs move and spread quickly, so it's vital to contain them in the location you found them at.
The experts said: “The most effective way to do this is to use a vacuum cleaner to thoroughly clean the mattress, light sockets, carpets, dressers, and other places you’ve found the bed bugs to be in.
“Once you’re sure you’ve vacuumed the infested items then it’s time to contain the bugs in a sealed bag and throw it away once they are trapped inside.
“You must then kill any remaining bugs on affected linen and clothes. We advise you to wash bedding at a high temperature or with very hot water for the best impact.”
For furniture that can't be put in the washing machine, you can steam

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor Bravo’s “Vanderpump Rules,” Hulu’s “The Kardashians” and TLC’s “90 Day Fiancé” are among the 45 reality programs hoping to nab their first Emmy nominations. This is down from the previous three years, which had 65, 48 and 44 submissions, respectively. Nomination voting opened on Thursday to members of the Television Academy, with the three juggernaut-rated shows vying for consideration in the outstanding unstructured reality series category. “Vanderpump” is coming off its biggest season yet after star Tom Sandoval was revealed to be cheating on his partner of nine years, Ariana Madix (with her best friend and fellow co-star Raquel Leviss). Dubbed on social media as “#Scandoval,” the talk surrounding the show’s 10th season has been electrifying, adding another massive hit for the Bravo network, which also steers franchise hits like “Real Housewives” and “Below Deck.” The latter has received two consecutive noms in 2021 and 2022.

Karen Idelson Few people lived a life as bold and controversial as Leonardo da Vinci. It’s easy to forget sometimes he was also a human being with doubts who struggled with the same things that trouble just about all of us. In animated feature “The Inventor,” writer/director Jim Capobianco, who shared an original screenplay Oscar nomination with Brad Bird and Jan Pinkava for “Ratatouille,” was always interested in the more personal side of the famed painter and inventor. “The Inventor” combines traditional 2D and stop-motion animation as well as original music and lyrics by Alex Mandel. “I’m telling the story of [da Vinci] at the end of his life and years in France,” says Capobianco. “I knew he was going to die [at the end of the story] and I was asking what that means to a man like Leonardo da Vinci. Having researched him, I learned that he believed that he procrastinated a lot and he thought he didn’t finish a lot of the things he set out to do. So, I thought about what it would mean to this person, this character. I realized it’s about what you leave behind for others and how you affect other people with what you do, how you change other people’s lives while you’re here. I realized with Leonardo da Vinci, he’s the perfect kind of foil for that because here I am making a film about him 500 years after he lived, and we still talk about him. He has such an impact on us and the idea of invention and the idea of curiosity and everything he accomplished.”

Sophia Scorziello editor SPOILER ALERT: This story contains spoilers for “Sanctuary,” in theaters now. At first glance, Zachary Wigon’s new film “Sanctuary” might seem simple — it was shot in 18 days in a 1,200 square foot room with a two-person cast, after all. But within those four walls lies a complex and wildly entertaining tale full of sex, humor, dominion and desire. The dark comedy-thriller tells the story of Rebecca, a dominatrix played by Margaret Qualley, and the complicated power dynamic she has with her client, Hal (Christopher Abbott), who is the new heir of his father’s lucrative hotel business. Because of the confidence she’s brought Hal through her sex work, Rebecca believes she’s entitled to part of his fortune. Hal disagrees.
