"Bed Bugs Austin prevention, bed bug extermination, and information on bedbugs in Austin."  

According an Austin American Statesman in an interview with Austin Terminix Pest Control, they are responding to 2 to 3 calls a month regarding bedbugs, up from no calls 2 years ago.

While there hasn't been a signficant amount of press on the problem in the Austin area, the rise in bed bug infestations across the U.S. could spread to this area of Texas.

Steps for Eliminating Bed Bugs From Your Home, Office or Apartment

Step 1: Clean
Remove and wash in hot water any items such as clothing. Once clean, place in a sealed plastic bag. Vacuum any bed bugs that you can spot and then dispose of the vacuum bag in a sealed plastic bag.

Step 2: Spray
Use a safe bed bug spray such as Benzarid. Be sure to spray in cracks and along seams in mattresses. After mattress dries, buy a zippered casing to trap any remaining bugs (available from the same company).

Step 3: Use Bed Bug Dust
Spread bed bug dust around the room. If any bugs are left or if any eggs haven't hatched, the dust will attach to the bed bugs shell and kill them. The Georgia Division of Public Health recommends the use of a steamer on a mattress (and in cracks) to kill the eggs.
