How To Prep For Bed Bug Treatment

Introduction

You’ve bought the Sleepy Bedbug Starter Kit, and you’re all set to get rid of those bed bugs. But, wait! Before you begin your treatment, it’s important to make sure you’re really ready for this big step. The preparation for your treatment can impact its success, so take a look at these tips before you start. We want to do everything we can to help you get the sleep you need!

Bed bug treatment is complicated, but you can make sure you’re prepared by reading up on the process and asking your pest control specialist any questions you have.

While bed bug treatment is a complex process, you can make sure you’re prepared by reading up on the process and asking questions of your pest control specialist.

Ask your pest control specialist any questions that come to mind about the treatment process in general or about what to expect at each stage. Don’t be afraid to ask for help! They’ve been through it all before, so they know how difficult it can be for homeowners who aren’t in the know. It’s important that you feel comfortable with them and confident in their abilities, especially if they’ll be working in your home while you’re away at work or otherwise occupied.

Make sure there’s access to electrical outlets so your pest control technician can plug in their equipment.

You’ll need to make sure there’s access to electrical outlets so your pest control technician can plug in their equipment. If you don’t have enough outlets, you will need to run an extension cord. Make sure the extension cord is long enough and that it’s not tangled or damaged. Be careful not to plug any of your appliances into a power strip; only have them plugged directly into the wall socket!

Move furniture, curtains and any other items that could block your pest control technician’s way.

We recommend that you move furniture, curtains, and any other items that could block your pest control technician’s way. This will make it easier for them to treat every area of your home. If you can’t or don’t want to move items, ask if it is possible to use a steamer instead of heat treatment.

Some pests are more difficult to reach, so before treatment begins we will do all we can do find these pests and expose them to the chemical treatment.

Remove light dust covers from electrical outlets.

  • Remove light dust covers from electrical outlets. These can get in the way of treated materials, or may be damaged during treatment.
  • Leave your window coverings open and draperies open or removed completely. Bed bugs hide in these areas and they need to be exposed during treatment.

Take down ornaments and other decorations that can’t be moved easily by your pest control technician.

  • Take down ornaments and other decorations that can’t be moved easily by your pest control technician.
  • Don’t move anything that is glued or nailed to the wall. In some cases, bed bugs will stay behind if you try to remove them from the wall, so it’s best not to move them at all.
  • Don’t move anything that is fragile or valuable because you might damage it during treatment and then have no way of getting compensation for it—and definitely don’t move anything if there’s an irreplaceable photo in the frame!
  • Don’t move anything important to you just because someone says that they’re going to treat everywhere except where those items are. Your home shouldn’t be treated as an empty shell just so a pest control technician can spray everything else in your house without hurting anything important.”

Clear out all the drawers in any dressers or cabinets where your pest control technician will be treating, then wipe down the insides with a damp cloth.

  • Remove everything from the dressers and cabinets where your pest control technician will be treating.
  • Wipe down the insides of drawers and cabinets with a damp cloth. Make sure that there are no items left in these spaces to block the technician’s way or cause damage to property during treatment.

If you live alone and it won’t be a problem, ask if you can remove the pets from the house for a few hours while bed bug treatment is happening.

Knowing what to expect for bed bug treatment will help things go more smoothly.

To ensure a job well done, it’s important to understand what to expect during the treatment process. Here are some tips:

  • Make sure you have access to electrical outlets. Your pest control technician will need these to plug in equipment while they work with you inside your home or apartment.
  • Move furniture and other items that could block your pest control technician’s way—if possible, put them in an area of the house that can remain untouched during your bed bug treatment process (such as a basement). This will help ensure nothing gets damaged by heavy equipment being moved around or dropped accidentally by an overeager technician!
  • Remove light dust covers from electrical outlets—these are not designed for permanent use; they need to be removed so the connectors can be easily reached by professional pest control technicians who may be working on all sides at once! Make sure no wires are showing before putting everything back together again afterwards: if any part of an outlet gets covered up again because it wasn’t properly cleaned off first time round then this could cause problems down future…”
