Preparation Guidelines for Bedbug Treatment:
The level of preparation involved depends on the level of bed bug
activity, below are general guidelines, at the time of initial service
your technician may require additional preparation and steps be
made in advance of the follow up visit.
Do not move to another room to avoid being bitten as you will only
spread the problem. Do not move items to other rooms or remove
pictures frames from walls prior to treatment. Mattress & box spring
encasements are required and can be ordered directly from
Standard. Reduce overall clutter and unused items as much as
possible, especially cardboard items and any storage under or
adjacent to sleeping areas.
Perform a general vacuuming of all areas paying special attention to
moldings, cracks and crevices then bag and discard the vacuum
bag outside the building.
Please move furniture, stored items and belongings away from walls
to allow for proper access, outlet covers should be removed prior to
service. Please secure valuables and fragile items prior to service.
Have night table drawers removed and emptied for inspection and
or treatment.
Captain’s beds draws must be emptied directly into clear plastic
bags and sealed as beds will need to be turned over with draws
removed for treatment. Please note that on occasion older worn
pullout couches do not close properly and we cannot be responsible
for this. Muslin under box springs and couches may be removed to
gain access for treatment. This will not damage them as it is only
there for aesthetics.
If you have seen Bed Bugs on items or canines have alerted to
BedBugs in draws, closets etc. Please remove items and bag then
for treatment in dryer. We recommend the use of sturdy clear bags
for bed bug prep.
Bed, clothes & linens must be dried at high temperatures 140° for 30
minutes. Any items not dried at that time must be sealed in plastic
bags addressed prior to use. Laundry bag must be dried, if you use
plastic remember to use a new bag following dryer. Do not store
items under bed.
Stuffed animals or children’s toys which are not to be discarded
must be bagged before service, toys should be washed in hot water
and stuffed animals dried as above.
If items such as books, albums etc. are suspect they should be
inspected or bagged for further inspection and self-treatment. The
use of PackTite units, are recommended. Check suitcases and
backpacks..
Upon arrival inform bed bug technician where bed bugs were found
and about any recent acquisitions, guests or bed bug issues with
household members nannies, domestics staff or health aids.
All people and all pets must be out of the unit at the time of service
and for a minimum of Seven hours following.
Upon return vent apartment for 30 minutes before reentry.
Wash food preparation areas such as counter tops as a general
precaution before use. Following treatment some dust or chemicals
may have migrated if so please gently remove it with a damp paper
towel and discard.
PLEASE REMEMBER!!!:
Chemical treatment alone will not solve a bed bug issue, you must
be a part of the solution by following the above and any other
recommendations Following treatments openings for wiring,
radiators,
HVACS or gaps along molding should be sealed with a sealant.
Continue to vacuum on a weekly basis.
Following service you may notice some bed bug activity, this is
normal. Please don’t stay away from home following treatment as
this will disrupt the control cycle, yes we rely on you to lure the bed
bugs to treated areas and traps.
