How operators treat bed bugs
Treatment usually combines inspection, targeted chemical treatment of beds, furniture and crevices, and sometimes heat treatment. Eggs can survive the first visit, so many operators plan a follow-up treatment. Ask how many visits your quote includes.
Before the operator arrives
- Don't move mattresses or furniture to other rooms, because that can spread the bugs.
- Bag bedding and wash it on the hottest cycle the fabric allows.
- Reduce clutter around beds and sofas.
- Follow your operator's specific preparation list.

Questions
How do I know it's bed bugs?
Look for small reddish-brown insects in mattress seams and bed frames, tiny dark spots (droppings), shed skins and small blood stains on sheets. Bites alone aren't proof, because other insects and skin conditions can look similar.
Why does bed bug treatment often need more than one visit?
Bed bug eggs can survive a single treatment, so many operators schedule a follow-up visit to deal with bugs that hatch afterwards. Ask how many visits are included in your quote.
Should I throw away my mattress?
Not necessarily. Many mattresses can be treated. Ask your operator before throwing furniture away, because carrying infested items through common corridors can spread bed bugs.
How do I prepare for treatment?
Your operator will give you specific instructions. Typically you wash bedding on a hot cycle, reduce clutter around beds and sofas, and keep items in the room until the operator advises otherwise.
