This is why it's especially important to remove piles of leaves, sticks, lumber, or general yard debris close to, or right on, the walls of your home.

Giving your rugs and carpets a regular shampooing will remove any eggs that might have been laid in the fibers, which will help stop a new generation of the bugs from being born. It will also remove any food trapped in the carpet that water bugs might eat. You can either rent or purchase a carpet cleaner and do it yourself or you can hire a professional carpet cleaner.
