Keep pesky bed bugs out of your mattress!

I thought I had bed bugs early in the year as was getting some insect bites in my sleep. So I frantically did lots of research, cleaning and general panicking. I never did find any signs of them and can only assume it was either spiders or millipedes as they were the only insects I was seeing around!

However all the research did make me much more aware of the potential problems of bed bugs and how once you have them it's incredibly hard to get rid of them, especially if they get into furniture or your beloved mattress!

One way to really help protect your mattress from infestation is by using an allergy mattress covers. It will stop them nesting inside your mattress and as an added bonus help protect against dust mites and other annoyances!

There are also other things you can do such as put Neem oil around your bed posts and just generally keep your room as clean as possible. Also be extremely careful with used furniture, sometimes they can be brought in with things like this!
