Preparation for Bedbugs Before Technicians Arrival:

1. If you plan on discarding your mattress, do so before treatment.  If you purchase a new mattress, leave it in the factory-packaged cover until after treatment.
2. Remove all sheets and pillowcases from the mattress and put in a sealed bag.
3. Remove all mattresses from their frames in the rooms being treated.  The mattress should be lined up against the wall in order that the mattress can be treated correctly.
4. Remove all clothing from dressers and closets in the rooms being treated, and put them in sealed bags.
5. All furniture should be moved away from the walls.  All curtains should be taken down to be washed.
6. Be prepared to leave the premises for 3 - 4 hours after treatment.
7. If you or someone in the household suffers from asthma or are pregnant, the management office or our office must be notified before any actions is to be taken.
8. Purchase a plastic hypoallergenic mattress cover to be used for post treatment.

Instructions For After Service Has Been Rendered:

1. Wash all clothing and bedding sheets, curtains and area rugs in hot water.  This will kill any eggs attached to these garments.
2. Once the mattress has been treated, place the mattress in the hypoallergenic cover and leave the cover on for at least two weeks.
3. If you bought a new mattress, leave the plastic on until you are sure the problem has been eradicated.
4. If you have carpeting, it is recommended to have it steam cleaned as well, to be sure there are no bedbug eggs nested there.

Things to Avoid:

• Buying used furniture
• Buying refurbished mattresses.

PLEASE NOTE:  ALL OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED STEPS ARE NECESSARY.
