Treatment Duration

Upon arrival of service technician, you and your pets will be required to leave for a minimum of 6 hours. If you are pregnant or asthmatic you should be out for min 24 hours.

Prep Your Furnishings

Nightstands, drawers, dressers, bookshelves etc. need to have items inspected and removed and sealed in bags being careful to ensure you are not bagging(protecting) bed bugs from the treatment.

Items that cannot be laundered can be sealed in a plastic bag and placed in a chest freezer for 3 weeks or stay sealed for 14 months.

Mattress Covers

Purchase and use proper good quality bed bug proof mattress encasements (after first treatment). These are available through Mr. Pest Control. (cheap ones almost always rip and can make the problem worse)

Prep Your Home

DO NOT move beds and furniture away from walls and where they normally sit. We will move as we treat. Fish tanks should be covered with a towel and the circulation system disconnected. Windows preferably open if possible during the treatment.

Floors and Walls

Prior to technician’s arrival all areas of house must be cleaned and vacuumed(discard vacuum bag, tightly seal in plastic bag and dispose). Remove clutter off floors and away from walls. Do not store stuff on beds! PLEASE DO NOT MOVE FURNITURE/BEDS FROM WHERE THEY NORMALLY SIT
