Important Notes:
If preparations are not complete and a clutter free environment is not provided the treatment will not be effective.
Eliminating bed bugs from mattresses, box springs, and furniture is challenging, there are also restrictions on how beds and furniture can be treated. For these reasons we recommend that infested beds and furniture be discarded.
Should the box springs remain, removal of cheesecloth underside is required for proper inspection and/or application. Cheesecloth will be re-attached.
Discarding of any compromised (ripped/torn) materials or heavily infested items may be required. Discarded items must be damaged and marked to prevent re-use
A clutter free environment must be provided in order to allow access for the service technician to treat all of the needed areas.
Avoid moving items from heavily infested rooms/areas to other less infested rooms.
If preparations are not complete a service charge will be applied.
Before re-entry all bagged items must be inspected for pest activity by client.
