We are all helpless when faced with a bedbug infestation. We have never been confronted with this problem, we do not know what to do, what treatment, where to start? The insect that has invited itself into your home is the most difficult to fight. Bedbugs have developed resistance to certain insecticides, and they spend most of their lives hidden in inaccessible places, under parquet floors, in electrical outlets, in the thickness of mattresses, in books, in clothes ... They are therefore very difficult to treat. To get rid of them, you need suitable products and follow a specific method. My advice and my experience as a chemist will help you get rid of these pests and treat the infestation.

Living in an apartment or building infested with bedbugs is often a reason for moving. This is why the mover's blankets may be contaminated by the previous move. It is not useless to ask the company that will do your move what treatment precautions it has put in place. Moving without transporting bedbugs with silk requires being ultra rigorous. Each object that will be loaded into the truck must be treated, washed, isolated in closed plastic bags. Poufs, old sofas, and other bulky items that are worn out must be wrapped in plastic tarps and thrown away. Just before leaving the old apartment, it would be good if everyone changed from head to toe with healthy clothes. The clothes and shoes that you have removed must be placed in hermetically sealed plastic bags and washed or frozen upon your arrival in the new apartment. Other precautions, do not forget to treat your car, and I recommend that you do a preventive treatment of the new apartment while it is empty. Of course, if you have a heated anti-bedbug tent, the task will be much easier.

In France, the law is very vague. The so-called SRU law, of 13/12/2000, requires the lessor to provide decent housing that is suitable for residential use, and the tenant is responsible for maintaining the housing and occupying it peacefully. All the case law is added to this. So, in the event of a conflict, choose a good lawyer. Generally, in the event of an infestation of an entire building, the trustee orders a complete treatment of the building. In smaller co-ownerships, and in the event of a less widespread infestation, the trustee takes charge of treating the common areas, and the tenants take charge of treating their apartments.

Bed bug pheromone traps are sometimes effective, and sometimes they are not. It depends on the whims of the bed bugs in your home. Just as they may bite one sleeper and not the other, they may or may not be attracted to these traps.

Bedbugs act at night, they are rarely seen moving. To find their nests, you must first inspect the mattress and the box spring. Then the headboard, the bedside tables, and then, by widening the circle around the bed, you can in all the dark corners. In toys, books, electrical conduits, the curtain rod, under the carpet, under the laminate flooring, in clothes. To find the nests and the places where bedbugs lay their eggs, you can use the bedbug detector. It is very fast, and it allows you to make much more effective treatments.

There are 2 ways to get rid of bedbugs, chemical control, and natural control. As bedbugs are developing more and more resistance to chemicals, natural methods are proving more effective than insecticides. Bedbugs cannot tolerate intense heat or frost, so we are going to use them. And to prevent them from biting us at night, we are going to use bedbug covers, diatomaceous earth, bedbug tablets, heated bedbug tents, and a bedbug detector. By combining all these techniques, we can consider a bedbug treatment with almost no chemical treatment. I talk about it in detail in this article: https://droguerie-naturelle.fr/blogs/infos/punaises-de-lit-un-traitement-efficace-sans-pesticides-ni-insecticides

Bedbugs cannot tolerate freezing, provided it is -20° for 72 hours. They tolerate heat even less, 4 hours in a heated anti-bedbug tent kills all adult, juvenile, and egg bedbugs. It is 100% guaranteed. See the product: https://droguerie-naturelle.fr/collections/tentes-chauffantes-anti-punaises-de-lit/products/tentes-chauffantes-anti-punaises-de-lit-zappbug-3-tailles-disponibles?_pos=1&_sid=d8fb0a0b7&_ss=r

After biting, bed bugs look for a dark, quiet place to digest and lay eggs. They will not stay on the body, and even less in the hair. They will prefer a pant hem, the bottom of a pocket or a purse.

When traveling, we greatly increase the probability of encountering bedbugs. Frequenting airports, train stations, public transport, unfamiliar beds are all factors of contamination. To protect yourself, I created an anti-bedbug travel kit. See the product: https://droguerie-naturelle.fr/collections/les-kits-de-traitement-insecticides/products/kit-de-voyage-anti-punaises-de-lit?_pos=6&_sid=721c20622&_ss=r

Cockroaches and roaches are disgusting and repulsive, but if you know how to do it, and use the right products, these insects are quite easy to kill. The two problems are their fertility rate, and neighbors who don't treat. A cockroach is not going to scare a chemist, follow my advice.

Cockroaches and cockroaches being gluttons always looking for food, these traps work with food attractants. So no chemicals or pesticides. Simply glued recycled cardboard, with a food attractant placed in the middle. By placing these traps under the sink, at the back of the refrigerator, under the bathtub, we capture the cockroaches that come from the neighbors, and we can estimate the importance of the infestation according to the number of cockroaches captured.

It's simple, pesticide-free, and inexpensive. In a bowl, mix diatomaceous earth with an attractant to please the targeted insect, for example sugar for ants. For cockroaches and cockroaches, it's even easier, they are attracted to anything edible: coffee, sugar, chocolate powder, a piece of rind, pieces of onion, etc. The diatomaceous earth will penetrate the respiratory system of the insect, which will quickly die of desiccation.

Be careful, this is a high risk activity! I give you the recipe for a poisoned jam, and the method for placing it near the nest. Precautions to be taken will include approaching the nest, and disposing of the poisoned preparation after use. The consequences could be fatal for the bees, for other animals, and even for humans. So, follow this link with caution.

They are ground-dwelling bees, a true gift from nature, they are the pollinators of your garden. The good news is that they do not sting. How to do it?

Very effective in capturing moth butterflies that come from outside, and those that are already fluttering in the kitchen. This chemical-free sexual attractant will be more tempting than the food in your cupboards. The ATOXA trap will capture food moths, also called clothes moths, preventing them from settling in flour and chocolate.

It is the ideal complement to the preventive treatments that we do with Kapo cassettes, sheets, and aerosols. PROTECTA traps attract textile moth butterflies. Like other pheromone traps, they do not contain any pesticides. It is a natural technique to prevent moths from laying their eggs in your sweaters.

Two possibilities: Every spring, at the counter of my drugstore, we know that we will hear the same story several times a day: I don't understand, I don't see any moths flying, and yet there are lots of holes in my clothes. This is normal, in the fall, moth butterflies came to lay their eggs in our wardrobes, thus placing their young in safety and warmth. After laying, the butterflies died, so their passage was very discreet. The warmth of spring hatches the eggs, releasing the hungry larvae. If there are no moths or moth larvae, it may be your washing machine or dryer that is causing the damage. Advice from the chemist.
