The vaseline and Glass method:
Bed bugs are not very keen on metal, They prefer wooden beds and furniture, They dont Like metal items because its cold and slippery for them, metals have no proper Insulation.
This Guide is for the Home:
It is absolutely imperative that you keep the bed away from the walls and curtains. Pull the whole bed away from the walls, about six inches or so. If possible move the bed to the middle of the room.
Vaseline also known as Petroleum Jelly: Apply a generous amount of vaseline paste onto the legs of the bed frame, gently massaging with your fingers, the top part of the leg should be covered with about 3-4mm. Where you can actually poke your finger nail into it.
Next stage is the Glass cups, You will need 4 to 6 Glass cups,
depending on your bed design. I would recommend strong Glass cups, with a solid bottom, Like the one below.
Carefully lift each side of the bed and insert the glass cups under
each bed leg.
bed bugs cannot climb vaseline surfaces or glass, You can actually grease the rim of each glass, for added protection.
Thats all there is to it Folks! You can rest in peace at night knowing you are Protected.
You will have to leave the glass cups on the legs for about 2-4 weeks until you are sure that the whole house is bug free.
There is no way in the world that a bed bug from the Ground is going to get into your bed with this method. assuming that you have thrown out your old infested bed and mattress, and started from scratch with a new bed.
This method could still work with your old bed, if you are 100% sure
that your bed is bug free. I would strongly recommend replacing your existing bedding with new pillows, mattress, white sheets, pillowcases, covers etc.. Your current ones might be infested, so let's start over from new. always change your clothes after being in an infected area Before you retire to Bed.
