Bed bugs are one of the most annoying pests that can invade a home. These tiny insects hide in mattresses, furniture, and crevices, feeding on human blood and leaving irritating bites. If you’ve detected their presence, don’t worry: there are effective methods to eliminate them, using both natural ingredients and chemicals. In this guide, we’ll teach you how to combat them step by step, including a powerful recipe with red pepper that repels them naturally.
Why Do Bed Bugs Appear?
Before attacking them, it’s important to understand how they get into your home:
Travel and suitcases: They can attach themselves to your luggage in hotels or on public transportation.
Used furniture: Sofas, mattresses, or secondhand clothing may be infested.
Visitors: If someone with bed bugs in their home comes to visit, they can spread.
Cracks and dark corners: They love to hide in warm, inaccessible places.

Natural Remedies to Get Rid of Bed Bugs
1. Recipe with Red Pepper (Capsaicin as a Repellent)
Red peppers contain capsaicin, a compound that irritates and repels bed bugs.
Ingredients:
2 fresh red hot peppers
2 cups water
1 tablespoon neutral liquid soap
Preparation:
Blend the peppers with the water until smooth.
Strain the liquid and mix it with the soap (it will help it adhere to surfaces).
Pour into a spray bottle and spray on suspected bed bugs (mattress seams, cracks, furniture).
Repeat every 3 days until the bugs are gone.
Caution: Avoid contact with eyes and sensitive skin, as capsaicin can cause irritation.
