How to check for potential bed bug infestation in my house?
There are all kinds of treatment options, but I think the heat treatments are probably the best if you want to do it yourself. The trick is you have to heat up each room as fast as possible. And the reason I say this is because, you know, bedbugs, they can travel, I believe, 10 to 14 feet per minute. So, your average room is 12 by 12. You know, so once you start heating something up, if it's not fast enough, the bedbug could go into a cold pocket or wall outlet, etc. But once you get the heat high enough, you only need to leave it on for 2-3 hours to get rid of the bedbugs.

Now, what we like to do and what you can use yourself is a direct forced air heater. Direct heaters are better because you're heating up the areas where you’re likely to have bedbugs. Let's say you're doing a bedbug treatment in a bedroom. You strip down the bed, you check the dressers, and you say, holy smokes, there's a lot of bedbug activity. What you will do is you'll use a heat gun to heat up that specific area, and it will heat it up so quickly that nothing can survive.
Roaches are ruining my life. How do I get rid of them?!
Pest control goes hand in hand with cleaning. Vacuuming up roach eggs, especially with German roaches, is crucial to fully eradicating roaches in your home.
