If bed bugs are suspected then a licensed pest controller should be consulted. (First Rate Exterminators, Inc.) A careful inspection must be undertaken and all possible hiding places within infested and adjoining rooms examined. Once all likely sources have been identified, then an approved insecticide, which has some residual activity, should be applied to all harbourages. Non-chemical approaches to control involve the use of hot air and/or wrapping up infested materials in black plastic and placing the articles in the sun, thereby killing the bed bugs with the heat generated. Clothes can be washed in hot water and dried on the hot cycle of the clothes drier. Delicate materials can be placed into the freezer. Generally, pesticides will need to be applied in conjunction with any non-chemical means of control. Good housekeeping practices and a reduction in possible harbourages such as cracks and crevices will discourage repeat infestations. As bed bugs are cryptic in their habits, complete control is often difficult to achieve with the first treatment. This is especially so with heavy infestations and thus a post control treatment evaluation is always advisable. For more information on control cal 1718-863-1100 or 1845-534-4010 (or click here).
