DO – Eliminate Clutter

Clutter is a bed bug’s best friend and could be you’re worst enemy. Clutter provides an infinite number of areas and harborages for bed bugs to hide and creates spaces that are difficult to treat during a heat inspection. If cluttered conditions persist, you may only be able to reduce the number of bed bugs and never completely eliminate the problem.

The discovery of bed bugs often leads people to take drastic measures to kill them.  These blood sucking pests leave itchy red bites behind, and watching your children and other family members scratch and complain of “mysterious” bites can lead anyone to take any avenue possible to kill the bugs.  There are a few No-No's when it comes to killing bed bugs though, and everyone should be aware of these before attempting any treatment.

The Myth: Heat will hurt the electronics and other items in my home.

The Truth:  Before a heat treatment is performed there are a few items that should be removed from the room.  These include medications, food, and anything that could melt such as candles.  Pets and some plants should also be removed.  Electronics and other items in the room SHOULD NOT be removed.  While heaters and fans should not be directly blowing on your electronics, the heat in the room will not damage these items.
