1. Cleanliness

Like the popular saying, cleanliness is next to Godliness; keeping your bedroom clean and tidy is one way to keep bed bugs away. Taking care of your bed and washing your bed sheets, blankets, and pillowcases in hot water will make your bed unappealing to bed bugs. Repeating this process weekly will exterminate all bedbugs (nymphs or adults).

2. Don't make your under-the-bed a storage room

Believe it or not, under the bed could be one of the dirtiest parts of your room because they're usually overlooked when sweeping or cleaning. Literally, no one sweeps under his/her bed every day.

Many adopt the under-bed storage in a bid to maximize space and style. However, this practice aids the breeding of bedbugs in your bedroom. Those mostly overlooked clutters underneath your bed provide hiding spots for these insects. Therefore, avoid storing things underneath your bed so they'll have fewer places to hide.

3. After a trip, wash your clothes

Although bedbugs rarely live in our clothes, they can journey with you from one destination to another through clothes.

If you travel alot, ensure to wash and dry your clothes at the highest recommended temperature. 

Desist from piling up clothes since piling up your used clothes in the laundry only increases the chance of bedbugs spreading throughout the bedroom/house.

4. Regularly vacuum your mattress and bed box

Often times when you're bitten regularly by bedbugs, it's because they have secured an apartment for themselves around your bed. Mattress conners, frames, folds, tags, seams, buttons, around headboards and baseboards, and any cracks in bed frames are hiding places for bedbugs. So, a great way to get rid of them is by vacuuming your bedframes and mattresses regularly.

Conclusion

Bed bugs, as nocturnal animals, actively deal with their victims at night. In most cases, victims only realize after they wake up. carefully observing deep cleaning, as well as a high level of hygiene, should help stop them from biting you. However, involving pest control professionals would undoubtedly help eliminate them completely.
