  • Remove all linen off of beds, wash, dry
  • Remove all electrical covers of all switches and outlets

Bed Bug Follow-up list/after treatment

  • Keep doing laundry on a regular basis. Wash, dry at highest possible temperature. Place washed cloths onto clear plastic bags and throw out used bags immediately. Do not ever re-use any bag that had any content in it. This will help prevent the re-infestation of bed bugs.
  • Do not wash product off unless otherwise directed
  • Place electrical covers back onto outlets and switches
  • Do not bring used beds or furniture into house
  • Vacuum bed area daily
  • Do not return items into drawers or closets until given ok from Pest Control Operator
  • Vacuum around baseboards
  • Vacuum around baseboards, bedding and furniture often as possible.
  • Vaccuum drawers, closets, vanities

Not complying with all steps will void the warranty of the treatment

Special Note: After a treatment, seeing live bed bugs is normal. They are damaged after treatments and will be looking to feed in order to rejuvenate. This will take a couple of feedings or they may still die off. Vacuuming is important as the rejuvenating bugs will be in close proximity due to their damage. More effort put into aftercare, the quicker it goes. Bed bug treatments can fail, if after two weeks, there is still an issue, contact us (tenants must contact the landlord). Another treatment may be required.
