Please ensure all boxes are checked for maximum
success in the eradication process:
All humans and pets (including birds, fish, reptiles, etc.) must vacate the home for the entire treatment and stay away for at least 2 hours after it's completed.
All laundry must be put away-either hung in closets or stored in drawers or on shelves. Do not leave any piles of clothes or linens, including in hampers.
If you have clothing stored in bins or chests, leave them open and accessible.
If you have excess laundry, dry it on high heat for 30 minutes and immediately seal it in new trash bags that are tightly closed.
All clutter must be reduced-no piles of clothes, boxes, papers, or miscellaneous items should obstruct airflow or technician access. Two or three small organized boxes per room are fine.
Beds, couches, and chairs should be cleared off. We will flip cushions and mattresses. Bedding may stay on beds.
All trash must be placed in new, tightly sealed trash bags and taken to the outside dumpster.
Live plants, candles, lipstick, crayons, and deodorants
Wines, chocolates, fresh fruits, and vegetables
Vinyl records, VCR tapes, film reels, and cassette tapes
Combustible items such as oxygen tanks, propane tanks, aerosol sprays, fire extinguishers, and lighters
High-value or irreplaceable items such as heirlooms, oil paintings, family videos, and collectibles
Open all horizontal blinds fully
Remove plastic blinds and place them flat on the bathroom floor to prevent warping. If you're unsure of the material, take them down
Store all sensitive medications, gelcap supplements, and vitamins in the fridge to prevent heat damage
Ammunition should be stored in a garage or safe location to avoid heat exposure
Alert us if you have a Sleep Number bed, as it may be permanently damaged. We will assist with removal and replacement
Stringed musical instruments may detune and pianos may be damaged by heat expansion. Contact us beforehand to discuss
Items held together with hot glue may melt-this includes some crafts or inexpensive frames
Unplug all electronics after treatment until they are fully cooled, except for stoves, refrigerators, and freezers
Leave lights turned on in every room
Leave as much as possible in the home to be treated. Avoid bringing backpacks, purses, or bags that could contain bedbugs. Use only clean bags if necessary
Wash and dry a set of clothes on high heat to wear when leaving the home
Put on clean clothes and do not sit on any furniture before exiting the property
Make sure all pets are crated and ready to leave before our team arrives
Be prepared to vacate the premises within 15 minutes of our arrival
We will be opening closets and drawers, flipping couch cushions, opening recliners, and moving some items. While we'll return some items to their original place, full reset is not guaranteed
