Bedbugs: the ingredient in your cupboards (and the garden) that helps eliminate them in record time

While thyme is powerful, pairing it with other natural pest control methods boosts the effect:

– **Diatomaceous Earth:** Sprinkle around the bed and baseboards—it dehydrates bedbugs on contact.
– **Lavender or Tea Tree Oil:** These scents also repel bedbugs and calm the skin if you’ve been bitten.
– **Vacuum Daily:** Focus on seams, corners, and crevices.
– **High Heat:** Wash and dry linens, clothes, and even pillows on high heat to kill eggs and adults.
