Pest Identification: Bedbug: Treatment Preparation
 Remove all Bedding and linens off all mattresses and wash in the hottest water possible and remove all items from underneath bed.
- Mattresses and box springs should be discarded if heavily infested. If mattress is being treated, they should be covered afterwards with zip-up mattress covers which can either be purchased locally or direct from us.
- Sofas, chairs (if slept on) must be stripped.
- Empty all drawers and closets. Wash all clothing in the hottest temperature possible and place in new clean plastic bags until treatment is rendered only if you choose to do your laundry before we treat.
- If laundry is done after the treatment all bags must remain sealed tight until washed and brought back in different bags. Please throw old bags away and use clean new bags to put cleaned laundry in when bringing home.
- Remove all furniture away from the walls which gives us access to treat all areas.
- Remove all hanging pictures from walls, vacuum back and place them in one area of your home for treatment.
- Vacuum entire house prior to service and take vacuum cleaner outside to empty and throwaway bag.
- Do not use your own chemical over ours to treat.
Please remember that all occupants must remain out of the treated area for approximately 4 hours after the treatment is completed, or until all treated surfaces are dry. If you have asthma or any other breathing problems you may want to leave for 24 hours. Do not walk on floors barefoot or lay on your bare mattress until material is dry. After all the material has dried you may put clean sheets on your mattress.
Bedbugs can be difficult to eliminate and depending on the severity of the infestation a follow-up appointment may be necessary. Our technician will advise on this after seeing the level of infestation.
