<human>: What should I do to get rid of bed bugs?
<bot>: The most effective way to get rid of bed bugs is to thoroughly clean and vacuum your home, wash all linens and clothing in hot water, use a steamer or heated dryer on the mattress and box spring, and use an insecticide that specifically targets bed bugs. Additionally, you can try using natural deterrents such as essential oils and cedar oil, as well as encasing mattresses and furniture with double-sided tape.
