On the day of your treatment, our bed bug specialists will arrive ready to tackle the bed bugs head on. Utilizing high-powered targeted vacuuming, our bed bug specialists will reduce any large clumps of bed bugs, their shed skins, or other related evidence by physically removing them. Targeted vacuuming helps to improve the efficacy of our treatments while also giving us a “clean slate” for required follow up inspections.
Your bed bug specialists will also be installing protective bed bug encasements on any mattresses and/or box springs in the treatment area that were present, or otherwise included, at the time of original inspection and estimate. These encasements act as a physical barrier against invading bed bugs by isolating and starving out any bed bugs that may be trapped in the mattress or box spring, while also preventing any outside populations of bed bugs from gaining entry.
In addition to installing protective mattress and box spring encasements, bed bug monitoring devices will also be installed, under each leg of any furniture where people sleep or rest (beds, sofas, or armchairs). These interceptor traps will capture any bed bugs attempting to climb up or down the legs of such furniture in search of a blood meal.
Finally, a combination of insecticidal liquid and dust applications are then carefully and strategically applied to those areas where bed bugs love to hide out, lay their eggs, and wait for their next blood meal.
Upon completion of your treatment, at least two follow-up visits are required, at approximately ten day intervals, to ensure all bed bugs have been eradicated. If at any time during your guarantee period, live bed bugs are found as a result of any of the follow-up inspections, we will retreat free of charge, as deemed necessary, until the bed bugs have been eliminated.
