One-Day Bed Bug Treatment in Pine Hills

Do the pesticide spray along with the heat treatment. And then if we need to come back out, if you're still having like a small underlying issue, we come back out and usually a respray nips that problem in the bud.

Spray units 113 and 115 because bedbugs can travel to other units. Okay, that's a precautionary spray for the people that are in 113 and 115. Okay, he'll start at 8 a.m. in the morning.

I want to try and fix the errors before they even have a chance to happen. So, okay. So with prep, I am going to send you a pre-treatment checklist to your phone number as well, as I already sent one to your daughter. Okay.

Me let me let me tell you a little bit about the treatment and what, you know, how to kill bed bugs. Basically, if you just spray or heat one room, they outrun it. So you need to treat the whole house. That's just how it goes. So it doesn't matter that you've got them just in one corner or that corner. You also don't know.

I can ask the technician if he'll do that first and that way it starts drying automatically. So usually they do it after they get the heat treatment started inside. That's after they spray inside, then they set up the heat assault equipment, and then they get that started, and then they spray the vehicle. But I will ask him if he can spray that first, okay?

That up. And this is in the checklist also. But after treatment, if it's this bad of an infestation that you described, you're going to have dead bugs on the floor. They need to just be swept or vacuumed up. Do not mop around the edges of the baseboards and the windowsills and all that where the spray is. Do not mop it.

We go up to 140 in the house so that any nook and cranny inside your mattress inside your cabinets in the walls and the baseboards everything is going to be sure it hits at least that 122 to kill everything

You have a really, really light infestation. I mean, they're not all over. A lot of people, we have to tell them, you need to thoroughly check those items before moving them out of the heat treatment area so you're not carrying bedbugs into your garage or shed or wherever, okay? So I don't think you'll have to worry about that too much, but it's always good to keep an eye out. You know, bed bugs are small and tiny and they fall off in the most ridiculous of places.

We do come back out we have a 60-day guarantee and if we have to come back out we do a respray which good news you only have to be gone for four hours instead of the whole 12 you know and it's easier in that respect on you so and we

Then at the end of the day will probably around four o'clock or so he will text you letting you know that the heat treatments finished he'll let you know how it went He'll remind you not to wipe down your baseboards, windowsills, or door jams for three to four weeks. That way it keeps that pesticide barrier strong, that second layer of protection we leave you.

You can, I mean, to clean your sheets, the best way to do that would be wash them and dry them on high heat. If you're just going to put them back on the bed, that's not going to do anything in terms of, you know, eliminating the bugs from the bed.

All right. If you have any questions between now and Thursday, please give us a call. You can also reply to those text messages. The whole team sees it and then we can react to it. Okay.

Us you. know sooner than it gets to be a full infestation all over again. Because a spray, one spray on an infestation that's been going for three months, it's just not going to cut it. So we probably just said, let's just get out there and do it again one more time. After that, they get reintroduced somehow. There are people that. somehow get exposed to them again.

The exoskeletons, that's when they are growing from baby to toddler, they lose their skin. Toddler to tweenager, they lose their skin. Tweenager to teenager and then teenager to adult.

You give, so you're given up to 60 days. So there's no, the problem is, you know, I've had, I had it to where it was two and a half months, you know, and then boom, it's back again. So I know it's, you know, just an egg and obviously we know they can go into hiding for a very long time without eating.

That gives you plenty of time to see them, and they multiply pretty quickly, so it's not like it'd be a mystery if there were some stragglers. And it's very important to get them again right away, to hit them if, if, it rarely happens, but this sounds like a pretty bad infestation, so that's probably what, I have a note here that the owners agreed, that's me and John, agreed to treat. This is very rare that we would heat again.

Our technicians haven't seen it either, but I'm going to lay money that if it is larvae, it's carpet beaver larvae, and that will cause her bites or what looks like blisters on her skin.

Absolutely. So that's another way to protect yourself, okay? And then keep me posted if you see any more. What I want you to do is get a Ziploc baggie. Try and keep the bed bug alive. Put it in the Ziploc baggie. We can tell if it's gone through treatment or not depending on how quickly it dies. If it dies within a couple of days or by the next day, it definitely went through that treatment and it's dying a slow death, okay?

Basically the important items to get out of the house to make sure you have a house to come home to are aerosol cans, fire extinguishers.

A good month, a month, sometimes a little bit more before bedbugs actually show themselves. They hide. So they hide in the tiniest of places. And they will come out and feed. And then as soon as they feed, they go back into their dark little hiding spot and they digest their food, which means it takes three to five days to see that same bed bug again, because that's how long it takes for them to digest the blood.
