Can you get rid of bed bugs yourself?

If you can detect the bedbugs early on and it's a low-level isolated infestation, it's completely treatable on your own as long as you act quickly. It just takes diligence and perseverance. The first step should be a thorough inspection of your home. Start at the bed and work your way out from there with a high-powered flashlight, looking in every crack and crevice. As long as you're actively searching for the bedbugs, they're pretty easily killed once you find them. For instance, you can remove them by vacuuming them up (being sure to dispose of the vacuum bag), or you can wipe down the area with at least 80% strength isopropyl alcohol.
