To Do

Place them in a sealed bag or sealed container until after treatment. Make sure the dryer is not packed too tightly and air is able to flow freely.

• If furniture is flat on the floor or doesn’t have legs, place a spacer to allow air to flow under it 

• Put any items that may blow out of place under a weight

IF A FAN WOULD BLOW IT OUT OF PLACE, OUR EQUIPMENT WILL TOO! SECURE IT WITH A WEIGHT or inspect for bugs, seal in a bag, and remove from premises!

Reminder: The technicians will move items to ensure proper ventilation and safety.

Success is within your control! If you don't take preventive measures before and after dealing with bed bugs, they could come back. It's hard to figure out how a house gets infested, so the chance of reinfestation is real. Bed bugs can hitch a ride in clothes, blankets, and other belongings. They can be brought into your home by items or people who have been in places with bed bug infestations, such as houses, schools, lockers, cars, or by purchasing used items from infested homes. You will need to be cautious of what is carried into the home after treatment.
