Shoppers are rushing to pick up this £22 ‘fast-acting’ bedbug kit with everything you need to keep the critters away
EVER since news emerged about the infestation of bedbugs in Paris, fears have been mounting about the possibility of the critters heading our way.
And after the nippy insects have been spotted in multiple UK cities, it may well be time to stock up on essentials to help banish the bugs should you find any in your home.
For shoppers looking to do so, it seems that Lakeland is the place to head.
The store is selling a £22 kit that includes everything you need to help get rid of the nasty pests – and sales have surged 200% in the past week alone.
Called the ‘Zero In Bed Bug Kit’, the set comprises traps, a spray and a powder all proved to kill the pesky pests.
It also acts against dust mites, as well as having a lovely natural floral fragrance to keep your home smelling fresh.
The spray is perfect for hard surfaces, while the powder is better for hard-to-reach areas like mattresses to get rid of the bugs once and for all.
The traps are also a discreet way to keep on top of any infestations because you can see exactly how many you’ve caught, and monitor how successfully the spray and powder are working.
Bed bugs are small, brown insects that feed on human blood and are most active during the night.
They’re predominantly found in the bedroom where they can find a reliable food source each night.
And while they don’t spread diseases, their bites can cause unpleasant red bumps and be really itchy.
If you’re looking for more tips on how to avoid any nasty nips, a laundry expert has shared that you’re best washing your sheets on a high temperature to kill any germs or bugs.
It’s also worth tumble drying your bedding after a hot wash for at least 30 minutes.
