3. Vacuum Thoroughly
A vacuum with a HEPA filter is your best friend. Vacuum your mattress, especially along seams and crevices, as well as surrounding furniture and carpets. This helps capture both mites and the allergens they leave behind.
4. Essential Oils
Certain essential oils—such as eucalyptus, lavender, clove, and tea tree—are naturally anti-microbial and can deter mites. Mix a few drops with water in a spray bottle and lightly mist your mattress. Not only does this discourage dust mites, but it also leaves a fresh, calming scent.
5. Baking Soda Treatment
Sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda over the mattress surface, leave it for several hours, and then vacuum it up. Baking soda absorbs moisture and odors, while disturbing the mites’ environment.

Natural Ways to Eliminate Bedbugs
Bedbugs are far more stubborn, but natural methods can still help reduce or eliminate them.
1. Heat and Steam
Bedbugs die at temperatures above 122°F (50°C). Wash bedding and clothes in hot water and dry them on high heat. For the mattress itself, a steam cleaner is highly effective—direct the hot steam into seams, cracks, and hidden corners where bedbugs cluster.
2. Diatomaceous Earth
This natural powder, made from fossilized algae, is lethal to bedbugs but safe for humans and pets if used correctly. Lightly sprinkle food-grade diatomaceous earth around mattress seams, bed frames, and baseboards. It works by dehydrating the bugs over time. Remember to vacuum and reapply as needed.

3. Essential Oil Sprays
Peppermint, tea tree, and lavender oils are known to repel bedbugs. Combine with water in a spray bottle and apply to mattress seams, headboards, and furniture joints. While this may not kill bedbugs outright, it helps drive them away and reduce infestations.
4. Declutter and Isolate
Bedbugs love to hide. Remove unnecessary clutter around your bed to limit hiding places. Move your bed slightly away from walls, and make sure no bedding touches the floor, which can prevent bugs from climbing up.
5. Mattress Encasements
Bedbug-proof mattress and pillow encasements are a long-term solution. They trap any bugs inside, where they eventually die, and prevent new ones from entering.
