Information on Preparations for Bed Bug Treatments

Wednesday, 22. June 2011 11:34

Bed bugs require different insecticides for optimal control due to their small size. They are able to hide anywhere including the mattress, sofa, other furniture, hanging frames, and even the wall void area. Our kits have been put together by our technicians to provide you with all the different types of insecticides that will treat different areas accordingly. Here is a link to one of our kits: Bed Bug Kits for 2 Rooms

This kit includes a pressurized aerosol spray, a dust product, a liquid concentrate, an IGR (insect growth regulator) and also a duster to apply the dust. The aerosol remains active for 2 weeks to a month and you apply this in intimate areas like your furniture (mattress lining, head board, couch, etc.). The liquid concentrate can be applied to larger surfaces like the base boards of a room, the surface around the bed, etc. and has a longer killing effect for up to 3-4 months. Dust products have the longest residual time for about 5-6 months, however, it is restricted to areas of minimal or no contact like the wall void area, under and behind furniture, and hanging picture frames.

Moreover, there are non-chemical treatment methods that will enhance your bed bug treatment. These products are not to be solely depended on for a complete eradication but they will play a major role in helping you optimize your comfort before, throughout, and even after your bed bug treatment plan. These products are monitoring or trapping devices like the Eco-Keeper Monitor and Glue Trap, steamers made with hot temperatures to kill bed bugs, mattress and box spring covers, and even Eco-Keeper Bed Bug Tent which provides a protection during sleep.
