Bed bugs are highly resistant to pesticides so dealing with them effectively is important
There's still a long way to go before we can call it an invasion but once they're in you're home, they can be difficult to eliminate. Although most expect them to be found in beds, they also have a habit of infesting towels.
Experts from Eco Pest Supply have explained on their blog that the bloodsucking pests "are most often found in the bedroom, as they need human blood to survive and they feed at night". When it comes to getting rid of the bed bugs, thoroughness is crucial and the experts explain this starts with making sure you "isolate" the room with the infested towels in. Experts on the blog said: "There should be no new items added or some taken away from the room while the infestation is present. This is also true for the laundry, sheets, clothes, and other washable items from your bedroom.
"Then, get them straight into the washing machine and clean the items on the highest heat program possible, the experts recommend adding "specialised laundry detergent that kills bed bugs" because while most of the eggs and bugs will not survive the high temperatures, "it's a good idea to lower the risk of survival by adding natural detergents that are meant just for this.
