How To Prepare For Bed Bug Heat Treatment

Introduction

Bed bugs are an increasing problem in cities all over the country. These pests can be difficult to eradicate and can cause real problems for you, your family, and your home. That’s where bed bug heat treatment comes in. This kind of treatment is a relatively new option for those dealing with bed bugs, but it’s proving to be one of the most effective measures you can take against these pests. Here’s everything you need to know about preparing for heat treatment before the exterminator arrives:

Disassembling Furniture

Before the heat treatment, disassemble all furniture that can be moved. This includes:

• Drawers from dressers and nightstands
• Headboards from beds
• Legs on tables and chairs

If you have an infestation in a piece of furniture that cannot be removed, such as a couch or mattress, then leave it alone. It is important not to disturb the bed bugs during their treatment cycle because they might migrate elsewhere in your home.

Moving Furniture

It’s important to move your furniture in a way that will protect it from bed bugs. If you’re infested, this might mean moving your furniture into a garage or outside to be treated by heat. Otherwise, you can just move it out of the room being treated and put it back once the process is complete.

When moving furniture around a room (whether or not you have an infestation), make sure that there are no cracks or crevices where bed bugs could hide. You may want to use a piece of paper as well if there are any gaps between pieces of furniture that aren’t flush against one another—bed bugs can squeeze through very small spaces!

Here are some tips for handling specific types of furniture:

Storing All Belongings In One Area

The next step is to prepare your belongings for the heat treatment. First, move all furniture into one corner of the room. You should also vacuum and disinfect the area where your belongings are going to be stored. Keep in mind that these areas must be kept clean so there is no chance of bed bugs lurking on or around your items. Once you have prepared your belongings, place them into plastic bags and seal them tightly shut with tape or rope (some people use duct tape).

Once you and your belongings are protected from the heat, the bed bug treatment can begin.

When you are ready to begin the bed bug heat treatment, it is important that you take a few precautions. First, you will need to disassemble any furniture in your home. This includes mattresses and box springs, but also couches and chairs that have been infested with bed bugs. If there are any items that cannot be disassembled or moved out of the room where they are located during the heat treatment they should be wrapped in plastic sheeting before being placed on top of large tarps or cardboard boxes filled with packing peanuts to protect them from heat damage.

Next, all belongings must be moved out of the room being treated and placed into one area of your home where they can be protected from heat exposure by plastic sheeting (like moving blankets). We recommend that this area be near a window for ventilation purposes as well as easy access for placing items back into their original positions once treatment is complete.

It is also important that everyone who lives in your house wear protective gear when handling these items; gloves will help prevent skin contact with any potentially harmful substances and goggles will prevent inhalation injury from breathing dust particles containing biological agents such as proteins left behind after decomposition has begun occurring due to increased temperatures reaching over 104 degrees Fahrenheit during certain phases of post-treatment cleaning activities like sweeping up dead bodies before disposal outside later today!

Conclusion

These tips can help you prepare your home for a heat treatment. At the end of the day, it’s important to remember that there are no guarantees when it comes to bed bugs. Heat treatments can be expensive and are not always effective. If you’re worried about being bitten by bed bugs, try using a bed bug mattress cover or bug spray.
