What Not To Do When You Find Bedbugs?
Don't panic.
Do not apply pesticides — You are legally liable if you misapply a pesticide, or apply it without a license to the property of another (including common spaces in apartment buildings). Generally, landlords, owners and building managers cannot legally apply pesticides. They should, instead, hire a licensed pest control operator to confirm the infestation and to develop an integrated pest management plan.
Do not dispose of furniture that is useful. Infested furniture can be cleaned and treated. Placing infested furniture (particularly mattresses) into common areas or on the street may simply help spread bed bugs to the homes of other people. Infested furniture intended for disposal should be defaced to make it less attractive to other people. Officials in some municipalities affix to potentially infested furniture a label to warn of bed bugs. To reduce opportunities of infested furniture re-entering their building, building managers should ensure that any disposed furniture is locked within a dumpster or immediately carted away to a landfill or waste facility.
Bed Bug Bites
Bed bugs usually bite people at night while they are sleeping.
They feed by piercing the skin with an elongated beak through which they withdraw blood. Engorgement takes about three to 10 minutes, yet the person seldom knows they are being bitten. Symptoms thereafter vary with the individual. Many people develop an itchy red welt or localized swelling, which sometimes appears a day or so after the bite. Others have little or no reaction. Unlike fleabites, which occur mainly around the ankles, bed bugs feed on any bare skin exposed while sleeping (face, neck, shoulders, arms, hands, etc.). The welts and itching are often attributed to other causes such as mosquitoes. For these reasons, infestations may go a long time unnoticed, and can become quite large before being detected. The possibility of bed bugs increases if the affected individual has been traveling, or had acquired used beds or furnishings before symptoms started to appear. Bed bugs also are suspect if you wake up with itchy bites you did not have when you went to sleep. Conversely, it is important to recognize that not all bites or bite-like reactions are due to bed bugs. Confirmation requires finding and identifying the bugs themselves, which often requires the help of a professional.
Are Bed Bug Bites Dangerous?
A common concern with bed bugs is whether they transmit diseases. Although bed bugs can harbor pathogens in their bodies, transmission to humans is highly unlikely. For this reason, they are not considered a serious disease threat. Their medical significance is mainly limited to the itching and inflammation from their bites. Antihistamines and corticosteroids may be prescribed to reduce allergic reactions, and antiseptic or antibiotic ointments to prevent infection. Infestations also may cause anxiety, embarrassment, and loss of sleep.
Bed Bug Treatment
- Bed bug treatment starts with a thorough inspection of the ROOMS TO BE TREATED. This will typically start with the bedroom(s), moving on to other rooms depending on what has been specified in the agreement.
- Using a portable dry heat steam machine, the mattress and box spring will be treated to help insure the proper treatment for larvae.
- The treatment continues with a Hepa-Vacuum treatment to the bedrooms, servicing individual components of the bed including the mattress, box spring, bed frames, headboard, end board, etc., than moving around to the edges of the bed continuing to the furniture around the bed, pictures in the bedroom, and the bedroom proper.
- Each box spring void will be strategically injected with an approved dust insecticide after removing cheese cloth lament.
- At the same time the Hepa-Vacuum is being performed, the service technician is also inspecting the bed components/bedroom for signs of bed bugs, i.e. live bed bugs, staining, droppings etc.
- Once the Hepa-Vac treatment has been completed, the next phase of the detailed bed bug treatment begins. Critical to the treatment are detailed treatments to the components of the bed including the mattress, box spring, headboard, bed frame etc., continuing on to all areas of the bedroom including the cracks and crevices of bedroom furniture (especially the night tables), pictures, chest of drawers, etc. The service will also include treatment to the room perimeter, dusting of any cracks and crevices, lifting of carpeting, injection of wall voids, inspection/treatment along wall ceiling junctions, inspection/treatment of moldings, phone lines, wires etc. When this is complete, a detailed crack and crevice treatment will be done to the closets of the bedroom etc.
- Associated with our standard service will consist of treating the voids via switch-boxes with insecticidal dust if made accessible by the customer.
- Depending on the extent of the bed bug activity/infestation, adjacent rooms, hallways, etc. may also be treated as described above. It is critical that any/all sleep sofas and pull out beds be inspected and treated as needed. All easy chairs and furniture that is routinely occupied will be inspected & treated. The bed bug treatment is a "PROGRESSIVE ZONE TREATMENT TO ALL APPROPRIATE AREAS" (I.E. INSPECTING AND TREATING ALL CRACKS & CREVICES IN A 3 FOOT ZONE AT THE LOW, MEDIUM, AND HIGH LEVELS), ultimately working all the way around the apartment until you have circled around to where the treatment began, thus completing the inspection/treatment of all Cracks and Crevices throughout the Apartment.
- After treatment of bedroom has been completed, the mattress and box spring will be fitted with protective encasements.
