Preparation is key when dealing with bed bugs. Terminix wants to make sure that you understand the Prep Sheet and what you should be doing during the treatment process. If you are preparing for Terminix to treat for bed bugs in your home in or around the Cincinnati, Ohio area, here are some important steps you should take to help make the treatment process more successful and minimize the chance of spreading bed bugs. 1. Be sure to lay out a fresh set of clothes that won’t be needed during treatment. 2. Unplug all phone and fax lines near where any products will be applied.  3. When coming/going from areas where products will be applied, you should wear vinyl or plastic disposable shoe covers to prevent spreading bed bugs to other areas of your home that don’t currently have infestations. 4. If your home’s exterior doors have letterboxes, they should be removed and replaced with rubber door sweeps to prevent stray bugs from entering and allowing you to spread them elsewhere in your home . 5. Make arrangements for your pets as pet birds cannot be allowed in treated areas (i.e., bird cages should be removed) and other small pets can’t be in the home when products are being applied and for about 6 hours after treatment is completed. 6. Lay out old newspapers on all surfaces to allow bed bug droppings and loose eggs to fall onto paper instead of hard surfaces that won’t.

• Keep the entire area clean of clutter and other debris.
• Use a vacuum to clean upholstered furniture, mattresses and bedding, floorboards and baseboards in the infested room. Pay particular attention to cracks and crevices on baseboards and wall corners where bedbugs may be hiding.
• Launder all clothes, linens, curtains, drapes or any fabric items that were exposed to bedbugs with hot water (130 degrees Fahrenheit) or dry cleaning. Items that can’t be laundered should be sealed in plastic bags until they are ready for washing.*Eliminate clutter from your home; it provides hiding places for bed bugs.*Consider using mattress encasements (plastic covers) on beds—this will help prevent further infestation by preventing any new bugs from entering onto beds.*Use caution when traveling as bedbugs may be transported inside luggage without you realizing it
