1. Thorough preparation is the key to eliminating bedbugs. Bedbug females will commonly migrate away from the feeding area to deposit eggs. Check out our website for preparation instructions. Failed treatments are usually associated to poor preparation!
2. All clothing that may be infested should be placed in a dryer for 15 minutes to kill all stages of bedbugs and eggs.
3. If the infestation is moderate to severe, books, shoes and other items may also be infested. These items may be placed in large bags and treated with vapor strips which will kill all stages of bedbugs and eggs. This treatment must be performed by a licensed pest management professional.
4. It is best to use a professional pest management service since a combination of materials and techniques are used for optimum control. Two or more treatments are necessary for control. Check with the better business bureau to ensure you get a reputable company.
5. Bedbug covers for mattresses and box springs will protect both from future infestation and if bedbugs are in the mattress or box spring, the bedbugs will starve and die.
