Getting Rid Of Bed Bugs-How To Kill Bed Bugs

Prepare the area : Pretreatment Procedures
• Reduce clutter to make inspection easier. Be careful in removal of any items in other area where you may transfer bed bugs.
• Personal items (stuffed animals, soft toys, blankets) should be removed, cleaned with a vacuum cleaner, and bagged in plastic for a couple of days with FUMIGANTS if infestation is severe. You can also bag your laptops, phones, radios in a bag as well. The insecticide in the Bags strips will not harm these items and is a non residual, so you don't have to launder these items after using the bag strips
• If you dismantle the bed frames, you may expose additional bedbug hiding sites.
• Remove drawers from desks and dressers and turn furniture over, if possible, to inspect and clean all hiding spots. All furniture should be pulled away from the walls.
• Stand up the box spring and shine a flashlight through the gauze fabric to expose bed bugs.If the fabric is torn ( possible hiding place), remove fabric to prepare for spraying. If the mattress and or box springs are infested, you may want to consider Bed Bug Certified Encasements by Mattress Safe. Once covered with these encasements, bed bugs cannot enter or exit. There is no need to treat the mattress or box spring with these encasements. Keep them on for a year.
• Caulk and seal all holes where pipes and wires penetrate walls and floor, and fill cracks around baseboards and moldings to further reduce harboring areas .
• Since infested garments and bed linen can't be treated with insecticide they will need to be laundered in hot water (120°F minimum). If washing is not available, sometimes heating the garments or bed linen for several minutes in a clothes dryer may work.
• Thoroughly clean the infested rooms .Scrub infested surfaces with a stiff brush to dislodge eggs.
• Vacuum in area of bed bug areas with an vacuum attachment. Vacuum along baseboards, nearby furniture, bed stands, rails, headboards, foot boards,bed seams, tufts, buttons, edges of the bedding as well as the edges of the carpets(particularly along the tack strips) are key areas to vacuum. A good vacuum cleaning job may remove particles from cracks and crevices to encourage greater insecticide penetration. Bed bugs cling tightly to surfaces, so it is best to repeat the vacuuming by scraping the end of the vacuum attachment over the infested areas to pull them up. It would not be good to use a bristle attachment because you may transfer bed bugs to other areas in the brush. Dispose of vacuum cleaner bag afterward.
• Caulk cracks and crevices in the building exterior and also repair or screen openings to exclude birds, bats, and rodents that can serve as alternate hosts for bed bugs.
• Monitoring devices such as the BDS bed bug detection system should be placed to help determine areas of dense populations. It is important to know that these devises are for monitoring only. Lack of trapped bed bugs does not necessarily mean that you are bed bug free.
