Dryer Sheet
You can use dryer sheets to prevent bed bugs on your mattress. Place 8 pieces or more between the mattress and the box spring. Place the same number of dryer sheets on the mattress under the bedsheets as well. They have a strong smell that would deter bed bugs. Consider adding a few dryer sheets inside a linen closet, dresser drawers, or pillowcase to get the same benefits. Since beg bugs especially hate lavender smells, go for lavender-scented products.
