Proper preparation is crucial for the success of bed bug treatment. Start by decluttering your home, especially in bedrooms and living areas, to reduce hiding spots. Remove items from under beds and inside closets.
Wash all bedding, curtains, and clothing in hot water and dry them on the highest heat setting. Place cleaned items in sealed plastic bags to prevent re-infestation.
Vacuum carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture thoroughly, paying attention to seams and crevices. Dispose of the vacuum bag or contents in a sealed plastic bag immediately.
Disassemble bed frames and furniture as instructed by your pest control professional to allow access to all areas.
Inform your pest control provider of any pets, allergies, or specific concerns to ensure safety during treatment.
Following these steps can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and help achieve a bed bug-free home.
