How Do I Prepare for Bed Bug Treatment in Memphis TN Metro Area?

Preparing for a bed bug treatment can ensure the process is completed as quickly and efficiently as possible. Preparing includes tasks such as easy access to your property, cleaning your home, and applying post-treatment recommendations.

Commonly, homeowners are asked to prepare for a bed bug treatment by: 

  • Evacuating your property for several hours along with all other persons and pets. 
  • Reduce clutter on your premises to make access points easy. 
  • Remove and wash bed linens from mattresses and box springs.
  • Clean all clothing in hot water and store it in sealed storage bags for approximately two weeks following the treatment. 
  • Move furniture and items so there is access to baseboards. 
  • Pick up all personal items that are on the floor or furniture.

How Many Times Is Bed Bug Treatment Needed?

If a professional administers a highly effective bed bug treatment, the problem should be relieved after a single treatment. Should the infestation persist, contact the exterminator for a follow-up treatment.

What to Do After Bed Bug Treatment

Depending on the treatment, coming back into your home should mean that you can return to normal behaviors within a few hours. Some steps when you return may include not shampooing or cleaning your floors for approximately three weeks following the treatment. You will not want to replace your bedding until at least four hours after treatment. In general, the process should be effectively “complete” within a couple of weeks.
