Bed Bug Treatment Preparation

Getting ready for Mr. Bed Bugs to visit.

Steam Method

  • Remove all bed sheets and bedspreads and stuffed animals and put through a high heat dryer cycle, then bag and tie.
  • Remove all clothing from dresser drawers, then put through a high heat dryer cycle, then bag and ties until service is complete.
  • Remove all items from end tables beside beds as well as items from end tables and coffee tables by couches and chairs.
  • Remove all stuff from under beds and bottom of closests.
  • Discard any unneeded cardboard and paper as it creates good hiding areas for bugs.
  • Where possible remove drapes and put through high heat dryer cycle.
  • Leave furniture, beds and frame work in place do not move.
  • Leave unit for four hours after pest control application is complete.

High Temperature Heat

  • Move everything in your home three (3) feet away from the walls to allow access to the entire perimeter. This includes closets. It is extremely important that this is done prior to us arriving so we can get right to work.
  • Take everything off the walls. Very powerful fans are used to distribute heat throughout your home; wall hangings are likely to be blown off. Stack these items in the bathtub or on the kitchen table, unless bed bugs are present in these areas.
  • Stand large furniture vertically to maximize work space for our team. This includes mattresses, box springs, love seats, couches, and anything else that can safely stand on end. We need to fit large treatment equipment in your home.
  • If a waterbed is present, drain it. If an air bed (Select Comfort or other brand) is present, deflate the air bladders. Area rugs in each room to be treated are to be rolled up and stood on end to clear the floor for treatment. This includes area rugs that are on hard surface
  • You can leave all electronics in your home such as for LCD monitors, Computers, CD's, DVD's, EXCEPT PLASMA TELEVISIONS. PLASMA TELEVISIONS MUST BE REMOVED.
  • Remove all volatile and heat susceptible item such as aerosol cans, candles, vinyl records, markers, crayons, fire extinguishers, propane tanks - if you are not sure please ask us.
