How to act in the event of a bedbug infestation?
In the event of a bedbug infestation, I recommend that you do not panic and act calmly.
If you want to do the treatment yourself.
You will find all the advice on how to act, with which products, and for a limited budget on the site www.Droguerie-naturelle.fr, especially in the site's Blog
If you want to involve a specialist company.
I recommend that you select the company among those that are CS3D approved . This will not exempt you from frequently washing clothes and lingerie at least 60°, from checking bedding very often for possible traces of new bedbugs. In all cases, the installation of special anti-bedbug covers to protect mattresses and box springs is highly recommended.
