Can Steam Cleaning Carpet Kill Bed Bugs?

 A question I get a lot from pest control professionals is can steam cleaning kill bed bugs. The answer to that depends on the type of pests you have, your knowledge of them and the general living conditions in your home. For most types of bed bug problems the answer is yes, steam cleaners can kill bed bugs. However, there are several other things you need to do before you use one of these cleaners, especially if you have high traffic areas like our bedrooms.

One of the main reasons that  carpet steam cleaning machines Bayside Melbourne were invented was to help dry out areas that had been infested by ants, spiders and other insects. If the area is dry then there is less moisture to share with the bed bug, so they cannot live in those areas. Even a vacuum cleaner can dry out an area but it will take time and work out the bugs that are in there.

So before you use a steam cleaner, you first need to deodorize the area, if you haven't already. This will prevent you from bringing home a potentially deadly insect with you in your home. You should also test the area for any allergens and dust mites. If you have pets then you should check their fur too. After that you can get to work on your carpet and steam clean it thoroughly.
