Bed bugs can quickly become a real nightmare for homeowners and tenants alike. These tenacious little insects take up residence in our mattresses, sofas and other furniture, causing unpleasant bites and restless nights.
Fortunately, there are natural and effective solutions to get rid of them. Among them, terre de Sommières stands out as a powerful remedy against these pests. Let’s find out how to use this miracle product to eliminate bedbugs from your home.
Terre de Sommières: the secret weapon against bedbugs
Terre de Sommières, also known as smectic clay, is a natural product with exceptional absorbent properties.
Its use against bedbugs relies on its ability to dry out these insects, depriving them of the moisture they need to survive. This ecological method has the advantage of being non-toxic to humans and pets, unlike some chemical insecticides.
To apply terre de Sommières, start by thoroughly cleaning infested areas. Vacuum surfaces thoroughly, paying particular attention to nooks and crannies where bedbugs like to hide. Then sprinkle the powder generously over mattresses, box springs, sofas and other suspect furniture. Leave for at least 24 hours before vacuuming to remove the powder and dead insects.
A fast, effective treatment: bedbugs eliminated in a day
One of the main advantages of terre de Sommières is its rapid action. Most bedbugs are eliminated within 24 hours of application. This is because the powder acts directly on the insect’s exoskeleton, causing dehydration and rapid death.
To optimize results, we recommend repeating the treatment one week after the first application. This second treatment will eliminate any eggs that may have hatched in the meantime, and ensure that the infestation is completely under control.
Don’t forget to treat clothes and bedding too, either by washing them at high temperature or placing them in the freezer for several hours to kill bedbugs and their eggs.
