Essential Bed Bug Treatment Preparation Checklist

Preparation is the most critical step in the bed bug eradication process, if the property is not correctly prepared, the treatment may not reach all hiding spots, allowing the infestation to return within days.

Bedroom and Clothing Prep

Remove all bed linens, pillowcases, and mattress covers, wash them in hot water and dry them on the highest heat setting for at least 30 minutes, place clean items in sealed plastic bags until the treatment is complete.

Furniture and Clutter Management

Move all furniture at least two feet away from the walls, remove items from under beds and the bottom of closets, clear out nightstands and dressers, vacuum all floors and discard the vacuum bag immediately in an outdoor trash bin.

Safety and Occupancy

Ensure all pets including fish and birds are removed from the premises, people must vacate the home for at least 4 to 6 hours depending on the treatment method used, if you are opting for heat treatment, remove all heat-sensitive items like candles and electronics.

Post-Treatment Protocol

After the technicians finish, keep all sealed bags closed until you are sure no pests remain, follow any specific instructions provided by your PesPro specialist regarding ventilation and re-entry.
