Step 1: Preparation:

Properly preparing the area before applying treatment is the key to success. We recommend storing your things in clear plastic bags to help you track bed bug activity that may be happening inside your stuff. Try our bed bug laundry additive treatment for your machine-safe washable items. Do not remove anything from the bags until treatment is complete.

  1. Reduce Clutter: Anything taking up space on countertops or other surfaces, such as mail or knick knacks, should be removed. You need a clear area to spray.
  2. Eliminate Hiding Places: Empty your cabinets, dressers, closets, and drawers. Put everything in clear plastic bags and seal them. Take picture frames, mirrors, and other decor off the walls as well. Remove curtains from the window, and throw rugs from the floor. Empty bookshelves of their books, and take dvds or electronics out of the entertainment stand and put them into bags.
  3. The Bed: Remove all linens from your mattress and store in clear plastic bags. Next, decide what to do with the mattress. Either throw it away or use a bed bug mattress encasement, awhich prevents bed bugs from entering or exiting the mattress.
  4. The Carpet: bed bugs tend to live in fabrics. If you have carpets, chances are, you may have bed bugs hiding there too. Vacuum the entire floor excessively, and then immediately throw away the vacuum bag.

How to Use Bed Bug Spray:

  • The Bed: Spray down your entire mattress, especially underneath the thick, heavy seams where bed bugs like to hide. Lean it against the wall to dry.
  • Next, spray all over your box spring, bed frame, and headboard – dismantling things if necessary.
  • The Carpet: Spray the carpets excessively, in every corner, and every patch of carpeting.
  • The Furniture: Apply bed bug spray to your couch, including underneath the cushions. Desks, tables, chairs, bookshelves, entertainment systems, and other water-safe furniture should receive bed bug spray too.
  • The Surfaces: Cabinets, closets, and countertops should be sprayed from top to bottom. Use bed bug spray on window sills, baseboards, and drawers.

PLEASE NOTE:

Decide if to keep the mattress or throw it away. Bed bugs can hide deep in the mattress in places where the spray does not reach, so if you do decide to keep it,, it is imperative to have a bed bug mattress protector so that bed bugs can not escape.
