Many people will be asking what to look for in bed bug exterminator equipment. Getting the right equipment is important as many bed bug exterminators are using ineffective methods and equipment. When buying bed bug exterminator equipment you must consider how much you’ll use it. If you’re just starting out then it might be better to buy new equipment or rent the expensive stuff. Bed bug exterminator equipment varies depending on the type of treatment chosen and type of pest control company. Our professionals will explain why one treatment may work better than another and how different treatment methods affect the cost of the job. The equipment used by our company consists of vacuums, portable steamers, pressure washers, furniture covers, lights, hand tools and more.

Bed Bug Exterminator Equipment

Air-Suction Vacuum

The air-suction vacuum is a high-suction tool that makes it possible to remove bed bugs and eggs without using chemicals or pesticides. This is important because many people are sensitive to these substances and they can cause allergic reactions in some individuals, while others may be immune.

The air-suction vacuum uses a standard electrical cord, so it’s available at most hardware stores. It also has several attachments that allow you to reach different areas of the room, including corners and other hard-to-reach places.

Once you have located all of your belongings that need cleaning, place them into plastic bags so that no dust will get on them during treatment or in transit between rooms (if necessary).

Flashlight

• Bed bugs hide in dark places, and a flashlight can help you find them. The exterminator may use the light to look for bed bugs in cracks and crevices, as well as to guide him through the building during inspections.
• The exterminator uses a flashlight to inspect infested areas.

Dust Masks

Dust masks are one of the most important pieces of equipment for any exterminator. It’s essential to protect yourself from dust, mold and other allergens while you’re inspecting a home for bed bugs or doing treatments. To do this effectively, it’s recommended that you use a dust mask rated N95 or higher. There are many different types available at hardware stores and online, including reusable cloth masks that can be washed at the end of each day.

Disposable Shoe Covers

Disposable shoe covers are a must for any exterminator. These plastic or vinyl covers slip over your shoes, preventing them from coming into contact with the treated area and avoiding the spread of bed bugs.

The problem with many disposable shoe covers is that they are not very durable and will tear or rip easily. This means that if you want to be able to use your tool for several jobs without having to buy more, you’ll need something stronger than what’s usually available at the store.

Because of this issue, we recommend getting custom-made ones from a company like us—they’re designed specifically for exterminators and will fit perfectly without compromising your mobility or comfort!

Clear Plastic Bags

Clear Plastic Bags

Plastic bags are an essential tool in the bed bug removal process. They can be used to contain items you want to bring inside, such as furniture or clothing, but cannot use outdoors because of the risk of infestation. If you suspect that your items may have been exposed to bed bugs, we recommend sealing them in plastic bags and bringing them inside for further handling by a professional pest control company.

• Use clear plastic bags when storing infested items until they can be laundered or discarded
• Seal larger pieces of furniture with multiple layers of plastic so no moisture gets trapped inside and attracts more bed bugs

Masking Tape

You’ll want to keep a roll of masking tape on hand for sealing up areas like vents, outlets, and switch plates. If you’re treating a room with heat treatment or steam (we’ll talk about those later), tape off the windows and other parts of the room to prevent bed bugs from escaping into the walls.

Bed bug exterminators use a variety of equipment when treating homes and other buildings.

• Portable heaters
• Thermometers to measure temperature
• Fans to help spread the heat, and also help disrupt bed bug eggs from hatching.

Bed bug exterminators use a variety of equipment when treating homes and other buildings. The most common pieces of equipment are portable heaters, thermometers to measure temperature, fans for spreading the heat around a room or home, and traps for catching live insects (so they can be counted).
