Since these insects cannot dig holes, they won&#8217;t get inside your mattress; however, if there is an existing opening, they can get inside that.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There is nothing about memory foam to repel bed bugs. Thus they can very easily live on your memory foam bed like any standard mattress<\/strong>. They only find it challenging to walk through hair owing to their body shape. Besides, they are broad and lack claws to latch on to things.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the surface of a memory foam mattress poses no such challenge; thus, they can easily survive.

Bed bug feces are often black or dark brown in color and get soaked in the fabric. It often looks like a tiny ink stain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-015ce738 gb-headline-text\"><strong>Small bloodstains<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>These are left when the bed bugs go back to their hiding.

While progressing from one instar to another, they shed their shell.<strong> This is how they grow from a nymph to an adult bed bug<\/strong>. These shells have a unique characteristic; they dry but never rot.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-ab42fd53 gb-headline-text\"><strong>Bite<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bed bug bite marks are similar to mosquito bite marks<\/strong>, tiny red dots that look like skin bumps. These marks are very itchy and surface in clusters. This is because multiple bed bugs feast at the same time on an exposed skin patch.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have bed bugs on your bed, you will likely see one or a few of these signs. However, people who are not allergic to bed bugs may not find any marks on their skin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-divider ugb-divider ugb-657135a ugb-divider--v2 ugb-divider--design-basic ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-657135a hr.ugb-divider__hr{background-color:#9b51e0 !important;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><hr class=\"ugb-divider__hr\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-heading ugb-heading ugb-61e1a2b ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-61e1a2b .ugb-heading__title{color:#000000;text-align:center}.ugb-61e1a2b .ugb-heading__bottom-line{background-color:#ff6900 !important;height:2px !important;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important}.ugb-61e1a2b .ugb-inner-block{text-align:center}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><h2 class=\"ugb-heading__title\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>How to get rid of bed bugs from memory foam beds?<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2><div class=\"ugb-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If you find the signs mentioned above in your mattress, it&#8217;s almost for sure you have bed bugs infesting your bed.

Most mattress encasements are made from rigid plastic or fabrics. These neither let bed bugs get in nor get out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Though mattress encasements don&#8217;t kill bed bugs, they ensure that the insects cannot feed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, with a mattress encasement around, you can sleep soundly at night while the bed bugs starve. However, the process of elimination is time-consuming and takes approximately 2-3 months.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-cefa1823 gb-headline-text\"><strong>Spay treatment on your mattress<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While you may not be able to spray pesticides inside your mattress, you can spray the sides, and while doing that, if you find any nest, make sure you spray those well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spaying kills bed bugs directly, and its after-effects also eliminate any surviving insects.<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Hot-Shot-Killer-Ready-32-Ounce\/dp\/B01N5VG342\/?tag=allaboutsleeps-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"> Bed bug sprays<\/a> are often effective and take 2-3 treatments to show results.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though bed bug repellent sprays (if you use one) won&#8217;t kill bed bugs, they will stop them from coming out of the mattress at night to feed, thereby killing them of starvation eventually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-ba703afa gb-headline-text\"><strong>Wash your bed sheets well<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s mandatory to regularly take off and wash your bed sheets in hot water. This will kill any bacteria or bed bugs that may have found their way to your bed. Even if you are hand washing, dry the sheets in high heat settings after cleaning.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides, it&#8217;s necessary to <a href=\"https:\/\/allaboutsleeps.com\/can-you-steam-clean-a-memory-foam-mattress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clean your mattress<\/a> with a stiff brush, baking soda, and water. Plus, wash your bed frame and wipe the areas where you found traces of bed bugs. Finally, don&#8217;t forget to vacuum your bedroom, carpet, and mattress from time to time.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-8ae04353 gb-headline-text\"><strong>Sealing the bed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some people find mattress encasements expensive, thankfully there is another inexpensive option they can try, which is sealing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In this method, seal any opening the bed bugs are using to get in and out of your mattress<\/strong>. If you have an old mattress or if the zip is not done correctly or in case your mattress fabric has a tear, chances are bed bugs are using these as travel portals. It will only take a few minutes to seal these openings, and that is what you should do.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the process, you will also be sealing some of the bugs inside, thus preventing them from biting you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-77c84c13 gb-headline-text\"><strong>Using heat treatment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If things get out of hand, hiring a professional exterminator is advisable. Mostly bed bug exterminators use two methods,<strong> pesticides and heat treatment.<\/strong> While the first option is effective, the second option is effective and safe. In the heat treatment method, the house temperature is raised to 140 degrees or more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the best option since the heat penetrates through the mattress and furniture or anything else that might have bugs growing on it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though this treatment is safe and effective, it requires special gear. Plus, the treatment takes 5-6 hours to do because it takes time to raise the core temperature of the mattress or furniture. Finally, heat treatment is also a bit more expensive than pesticide spraying.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">You May Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/allaboutsleeps.com\/do-dryer-sheets-repel-bed-bugs\/\">Do Dryer Sheets Repel Bed Bugs?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-divider ugb-divider ugb-2953bde ugb-divider--v2 ugb-divider--design-basic ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-2953bde hr.ugb-divider__hr{background-color:#9b51e0 !important;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><hr class=\"ugb-divider__hr\"\/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-heading ugb-heading ugb-ce15588 ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-ce15588 .ugb-heading__title{color:#000000;text-align:center}.ugb-ce15588 .ugb-heading__bottom-line{background-color:#ff6900 !important;height:2px !important;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important}.ugb-ce15588 .ugb-inner-block{text-align:center}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><h2 class=\"ugb-heading__title\"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>Why should you not get a new mattress<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>?<\/strong><\/h2><div class=\"ugb-heading__bottom-line\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed a bed bug infestation is irritating, and if it lasts for over months, it might frustrate you to the core.
