Bed Bug Cleaning Preparation

Bed bug cleaning preparation is critical when dealing with the extermination of any kind of pest. Before you begin your bed bug treatment, you must first focus on getting rid of the bed bugs in the property starting with asking questions like, “Where are bed bugs found?” “Why do I have bed bugs?” “Where did I get bed bugs from?”, and many more questions. This is where everything starts as it’ll determine whether or not you’re going to hire a certified exterminator for this task. We all know that bedbug cleaning is a must when it comes to getting rid of bedbugs. For many people the action of getting out there and actually doing that job never happens though because they’re worried about what they need to do first before they even start an inspection. In this blog post I would like to share with you some great ideas on how you can easily get prepared so that your inspection and preparation time is kept to a minimum, with fast results.

Bed Bug Cleaning Preparation

Any clutter must be removed from treatment areas.

  • Any clutter must be removed from treatment areas.

Clutter can be hiding places for bed bugs and make it harder to do a thorough cleaning. Clutter can also be a fire hazard and stressful to live with, especially if you are living on a budget or in an apartment where you don’t have control over what your neighbors leave in the hallway!

All floor surfaces must be clear of all items including shoes, clothing, toys, etc.

When you are preparing for bed bug cleaning, you must remove all items from the area. This includes any shoes and clothing that may be on the floor as well as toys and other items. The only things left in the room should be furniture such as beds, couches, and chairs.

All surfaces must be clear of all items including shoes, clothing, toys etc…

Remove personal Items from furniture and countertops; everything from the floor to waist level should be cleared.

  • Remove personal items from furniture and countertops.
  • Everything from the floor to waist level should be cleared.
  • Items from waist level up should be put away or covered, but not necessarily removed from their home.
  • Items from anything above waist level can remain in place as long as they are clean and free of bed bugs.

All bedding and linens must be removed and laundered upon completion of the service.

All bedding and linens must be removed and laundered upon completion of the service. This will kill any bed bugs that may be in the linens, preventing them from spreading to your home or other areas. Do not use a dryer, let it air dry. Wash all bedding including pillows, mattresses and cushions using hot water (at least 120°F) for at least 30 minutes. Wash all clothes and fabric items in the room on high heat that can tolerate a hot wash cycle (120°F or greater). Be sure to turn under collars on shirts/blouses so they are exposed during washing/drying.

Garments that you do not want laundered should be in a sealed bag or container.

If you do not want your garments laundered, they should be placed in sealed containers. A container that can be carried out of the room is preferable, such as a large plastic bag or suitcase. The garment should then be placed into a separate room (such as an adjacent closet), drawer, suitcase, laundry hamper or wherever else you choose to store it while waiting for your treatment to begin.

Keep pets away from treatment area until service is completed.

Pets may be affected by the chemicals used to treat for bed bugs, so it is important to remove them from the treatment area during that time. If pets must remain in your home during the treatment period, keep them in a separate room or area away from where your service provider will be working. Make sure that any food or water bowls are removed from this area before they begin working on your premises.

After service completion, it is also necessary to wait at least a few hours before allowing pets back into their usual sleeping areas; this helps ensure that all residual insecticide has had time to dissipate properly and poses no harm to them.
