This list of recommendations will help speed up the removal of bed bugs from your home.
1st “Strip the beds.” Wash & Dry (High Heat)
Wash and or dry according to manufacture label or consider dry cleaning.
- Bed sheets,
- Pillow cases,
- Comforters and blankets.
2nd “Laundry Day” Wash & Dry (High Heat) all Dirty Clothes.
Wash and or dry according to manufacture label or consider dry cleaning.
PLEASE NOTE:
Bed bugs have been known to live through the washing and drying process; bagging & boxing up personal items and clean cloths give bed bugs a GREAT place to hide from treatment. Please leave everything in your home out of plastic bags or boxes. This includes any items washed and dried prior to or after treatment.
That's It; Your Set!
After treatment is complete:
Your GerMadic Pest Co. technician will perform a follow up visit in approximately two weeks. Please repeat the pre-treatment check list prior to your follow up.
Important notes:
- The property needs to be ready prior to your appointment time. If you will be unable to make the necessary preparations, please contact our office (316) 444-0003 before the appointment so we can discuss rescheduling to a more suitable time. Thank you for your careful attention to these steps! Any appointment cancelations in under 24 hours may require a $35 rescheduling fee.
- Excessive clutter and over population of bed bugs might require and additional $99 P.P.E. (Personal Protective Equipment) service charge. Call our office prior to treatment if you have any questions over this. Your technician will let you know at the day of service if your home will require P.P.E. for treatment.
- During servicing, your technician may require access to the bottom of upholstered furniture. We make every effort to not damage your possessions, however the cloth like material usually located in these areas may need to be unstapled or slightly torn so proper treatments can be applied.
- In the time between now and your appointment, we strongly discourages you from using any "over-the-counter" foggers or pesticides.
- You may see some activity during the next two-three weeks. During this time the residual effect of the applied solutions are attacking new bed bug hatchlings. Please feel free to contact our office at 316-444-0003 if you have any further questions.
Thank you for allowing us to help you with this situation.
