Pest Control Preparation
Pest control preparation is a vital and often overlooked step in pest management. Prior to any treatment, we can help you get your space ready to ensure the most effective results.
What you should do
Make sure you declutter and clean your home as much as possible. Remove any food sources, and focus on kitchen sanitation.
Collect all clothing, bedsheets, and fabric from the home and launder it. This is especially important when treating bed bugs, and high heat on a dryer cycle can make all the difference.
Depending on the treatment, prepare to vacate your home for up to 6 hours. Plan to take any pets with you if possible.
How we can help
- Bag all loose clothing, bedsheets, and fabric materials in sealed garbage bags, ready for you to launder.
- Deep clean the kitchen and any sources of food for the pests, and dispose of the waste. We will also vacuum and sweep the space.
- Organize clutter and decrease hiding places for possible pests.
- Configure the furniture to be suitable for treatment by pulling everything in your home towards the middle of the room.
