Preparing your house for bed bug heat treatment is crucial to ensure the treatment is effective and to protect your belongings.
This process involves several critical steps, including removing certain items, preparing furniture, and ensuring safety during the treatment.
4 Essential Steps to Ensure Safety and Effectiveness
1. Remove Items from the Treatment Area
Remove all pets, including fish in aquariums, and houseplants. These can be sensitive to high temperatures and may be harmed during the treatment.
Remove fresh fruits and vegetables, food that melts, wine bottles, prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines, cosmetics and deodorants, and items like candles and lipsticks that are wax-based. These items can spoil or degrade under high heat.
2. Prepare Furniture and Household Items
Remove all items from drawers, closets, and cabinets. This ensures that the heat can penetrate all areas where bed bugs might be hiding.
Cover electronics, wood floors, and other sensitive surfaces with protective materials to prevent damage from the high heat.
3. Ensure Safety During Treatment
All occupants, including pets, should leave the house during the treatment. The high temperatures used in heat treatment can be dangerous for humans and pets.
Ensure that the treatment team has access to all areas of the house and that they are equipped with the necessary safety measures, such as explosion relief panels and vertical airflow impellers, to handle any potential issues during the treatment.
4. Follow Post-Treatment Guidelines
After the treatment, the area should be inspected to ensure that all bed bugs have been eliminated. Follow any additional guidelines provided by the treatment team for maintaining a bed bug-free environment.
Slowly reintroduce removed items back into the house, ensuring they are free from bed bugs.
By following these steps, you can effectively prepare your house for bed bug heat treatment, ensuring the process is safe and successful in eliminating bed bugs.
