Bedbugs
Preparation
- Remove all bedding from the bed(s) to be treated.
- Take down curtains and nets.
- Empty wardrobes and drawers in the room(s) to be treated, including bed drawers.
- Remove all items from the floors and under the bed.
- Wash all bedding, curtains, clothing, and other washable items at the highest temperature recommended by the manufacturer, or have them dry cleaned before using or putting them away again.
- Clean the rooms to be treated thoroughly. Empty the vacuum cleaner bag into the trash after cleaning.
- Make sure the rooms to be treated are clear enough for the pest control technician to move the bed(s) and furniture easily.
- People and pets must leave the rooms being treated and cannot return until the insecticide is dry.
If you do not complete these preparations, the pest control technician may not be able to treat your home.
After treatment
- Do not enter the treated rooms for at least two hours, or until the technician tells you it is safe.
- Do not vacuum the carpets for at least 15 days to allow the insecticide time to work.
- Two treatments are usually enough to control the infestation, as the products used continue to work for several weeks. The bed bugs should die off gradually after coming into contact with the insecticide.
Our technician will schedule a second appointment with you. If there is still a problem 4-6 weeks after the last visit, you will need to book a new treatment, which will incur an additional charge.
