BED BUG TREATMENT PREPARATION
How to Prepare for Heat/Chemical Treatment:
Do not use any pesticides bombs, foggers, sprays or dusts prior to heat treatment
Do not remove anything from the treatment area except for sealed garbage to be permanently removed
Furniture and clutter must be pulled 8 to 12 inches away from walls

Duvets and large blankets should be hung over doors
Clothing should be in drawers loosely to allow air circulation
Any loose clothing should be loosely put in vented baskets

Unplug all electronics except major appliances
Any items (clothing, shoes, valuables) taken out with occupant on day off heat treatment must be thoroughly inspected and sanitized before being reintroduced to treated area
Dispose of all trash and unwanted items before treatment
Vacuum or sweep up dust/pet hair as it impedes treatment and is hazardous to our equipment
Improperly secured pictures and posters that may blow down should be taken down and laid flat
Vinyl or faux wood blinds have a low heat tolerance; they can be laid flat to avoid warping
High power fans are used during this process; loose papers should be secured or weighted down
Heat Sensitive Items:
MUST BE INSPECTED, SANITIZED and PLACED IN A SEAMLESS PLASTIC CONTAINER and either placed in refrigerator or removed from treatment area
Melt-able items like chocolate, lip stick, candles, crayons, deodorants
Aerosol cans, fire extinguishers, lighters, soda cans, pressurized containers
Wines, liquors, perishables, medications & vitamins, vinyl records
Items assembled with hot melt glue
Wireless routers, batteries
To Insure a Proper Treatment:
*Back-packs, purses, briefcases, textbooks and all non-essentials should be left IN the treatment area
*Air flow is critical to this process, over-packed closets and rooms may not be able to be treated properly
*Cement, tile, brick, block, rock, high-ceilings may require longer heat times and/or more equipment
*Electrical switch box should be accessible and within 50 feet of treatment area
