Bed bugs are spreading to all corners of the UK and Millennium Pest Control are very experienced in dealing with these infestations. However, for effective control it is imperative that the areas for treatment are provided with good access/preparation:
Preparation:
-
Remove all items of clothing and objects from underneath bed frames
-
Strip bedding and put in hot washes, if possible, dry clean any natural fibres to reduce risk of shrinking
-
Wash clothing again on hot wash (60 degrees) or dry clean where possible, this isn’t always feasible but clothes that have been in contact with beds or are stored near bedding can be at risk. Temperatures of 60 plus degrees will kill any insect and their eggs
-
Empty wardrobes and drawers where possible and any bedside cabinets to ensure treatment access as they can access cracks and crevices
-
Skirting boards require accessibility as this is a regular harbourage point for bed bugs where they may sit dormant for days/weeks
-
We recommend a deep clean via hoovering to be concentrated to cracks and crevasses in all areas before we arrive
-
We also advise that personal belongings are to be bagged and left in the middle of rooms to protect against chemical contact
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE HOOVER BAGS IN PROPERTY AFTER YOU HAVE HOOVERED DISPOSE OFF IMMEDIATELY
