10. How to Prevent Bed Bugs

One way to get rid of bed bugs on sheets and blankets is to run the linens through the washing machine on a hot cycle. Purchase a mattress cover specially designed for bed bug infestations to keep those in the mattress contained and prevent their spread to a clean mattress. Seal cracks in the floors and walls to give them fewer places to hide. You can also use a bed bug spray or pesticide.
