Preparation Steps

1
Remove all bedding (sheets, blankets, pillows, mattress covers) and place them in sealed plastic bags. Wash everything in hot water (60°C minimum) and dry on high heat for at least 30 minutes.
2
Completely empty dressers, nightstands and closets located in infested bedrooms. Place clothing in sealed plastic bags after washing and drying on high heat.
3
Vacuum thoroughly on mattresses (all seams), box springs, bed frame, baseboards and floors in every affected room. Immediately dispose of the vacuum bag in a sealed garbage bag outside.
4
Move all furniture at least 30 cm (1 foot) away from walls to allow the technician access to baseboards and corners. Disassemble the bed frame if possible.
5
Remove frames, mirrors, clocks and wall decorations in affected rooms. Bed bugs can hide behind these items.
6
Remove outlet and light switch covers if you are comfortable doing so. Bed bugs frequently nest in these spaces.
7
Seal all personal items (books, toys, electronics) in the treated rooms in plastic bags. Do not move them to other rooms to avoid spreading the infestation.
8
Plan to leave the home with your pets during treatment and for 4 to 6 hours afterward. Remove or cover aquariums.

Pro Tips

Use certified bed bug proof encasements for your mattresses and box springs after treatment — they trap remaining bugs and make future detection easier.
Keep clean clothes in sealed bags until treatment is complete and the technician confirms elimination.
Take photos of the infestation before preparation to help the technician assess the situation.
Start preparation the day before treatment to avoid rushing on the day of.

⚠️

Mistakes to Avoid

Do NOT move furniture or items from infested rooms to other rooms — you risk spreading bed bugs throughout the home.
Do NOT apply pesticides yourself before professional treatment — this can scatter the bugs and reduce treatment effectiveness.
Do NOT throw out your mattress without consulting the technician first — in most cases, professional treatment is enough to sanitize it.

After Treatment

1Do not clean baseboards and treated surfaces for at least 14 days — the product must remain active to eliminate bugs that hatch after treatment.
2Continue sleeping in your regular bed — this attracts remaining bugs toward treated areas.
3Regularly inspect mattress seams and bed frame for 3 weeks after treatment to detect any residual activity.
4A second treatment is usually scheduled 2 to 3 weeks after the first. Do not cancel it even if you no longer see bed bugs.
