Three 'natural home remedies' to get rid of bed bugs and stop an infestation

An expert has revealed a few simple ways to get rid of a bed bug infestation in your home and prevent them from coming back.

The hot steam will exterminate the insects immediately if it's applied slowly and directly to any affected surface.
