Here’s how.

Stripping
We’ll remove all sheets, blankets, mattress covers, pillowcases, etc. from your beds and place them in plastic bags for washing.

Dismantling
At the pest management company’s request, we’ll disassemble your bed--separating the headboard and footboard from the bed frame.

Emptying
We’ll empty all closets, dresser drawers, bookshelves, wall units, night stand drawers and other furniture located near the bed(s). We’ll also remove all clothing, toys, boxes, etc. from bedroom floors and all items beneath the bed(s). All pictures and wall-hung items will be removed, vacuumed and bagged.

Laundering
We’ll wash all clothing, towels, and other linens and place them in clear plastic bags. Before washing, we’ll sort the clothing and place them in green-clean dissolvable bags. Placed directly into washing machines, these environmentally-friendly bags dissolve on contact with water, greatly reducing spreading bug bugs to other areas of the building. Finally, we’ll store the laundry in a designated living area for the duration of the treatment.

Vacuuming
Using hepa vacs, we’ll vacuum all bed frames, mattresses, box springs, furniture, and inside closets, dresser drawers, headboards and nightstands, chairs, rugs and baseboards, wall hung items, etc. We’ll even vacuum shoes before placing them in plastic bags. We’ll then place the vacuum bags in a sealed plastic bag before discarding of them.

Encasing
We’ll encase all mattresses, box springs and pillows in impenetrable zippered encasements to prevent bed bugs seeking harborage and escaping. (Additional cost will apply) Finally, we’ll make all rooms accessible for inspection and treatment by moving furniture at least 16" from the wall.

For discretion, Prep 4 Bed Bugs vehicles are unmarked, our uniforms do not bear our name, and our equipment is carried in concealed plastic bags. Your neighbors will only know why we're in your home if you choose to tell them.
