How to remove bed bugs with steam

Bed bugs are becoming an increasingly widespread problem, both in private homes and in the hospitality sector.
These small, blood-feeding insects are particularly active at night, causing discomforts such as intense itching and allergic reactions.
Their ability to hide in narrow spaces and rapidly multiply makes their eradication extremely complex.
In this scenario, TPA’s steam cleaners emerge as fundamental tools, thanks to their advanced technology.

What do bed bugs look like?

Bed bugs are oval-shaped insects that can reach a length of 5 millimeters as adults.
Their color varies from light brown to dark red.

Although visible to the naked eye, they prefer to hide during the day in tight spaces like cracks or folds in fabric.
It’s crucial not to confuse them with the green bugs found in our gardens, as unlike these, bed bugs pose a real threat to human health.

Who is at risk of getting bed bugs?

Bed bugs can settle anywhere, without discrimination.
They are found in both private homes and temporary accommodations, such as hotels and hostels. It’s important to know that their presence is not dependent on cleanliness or social class.
They can be recognized by signs such as bites arranged in lines or clusters, stains on fabrics, black excrement, and a slightly sweet odor. Caution is especially needed when bringing used furniture into the home or returning from trips abroad, particularly from areas with lower hygiene standards.

Where are bed bugs found?

Bed bugs show a preference for environments where people spend time sleeping or resting.
These insects, experts in the art of hiding, find refuge during the day in various well-concealed hideouts within homes.
They prefer places like mattress folds, fabric seams, furniture cracks, wooden bed structures, and upholsteries.
It’s not uncommon to find them behind paintings, electrical outlets, baseboards, or in other less obvious nooks.
Their tendency to avoid light and their small size complicate not only their detection but also the complete eradication of an infestation. As a result, regular and thorough inspections become essential to detect and manage the presence of these bugs in our living and resting spaces.
