How Do You Get Bed Bugs?

Kansas Bed Bugs, LLC. Preparation Checklist

Proper preparation is essential for an effective treatment. The hot air must be able to flow freely and penetrate all surfaces in your home. Clutter hinders this process which is why it is crucial to take the necessary steps in order for the treatment to be successful.

Remove:

All pets, birds, fish tanks, snakes, etc.
House Plants. If weather permits, place them outside
All candles, waxes, crayons, cosmetics, etc.
All aerosol products – hair spray, paint, room fresheners, etc.
ALL COMPRESSED GASSES!!
All trash. It must be emptied and taken out.
Medications. Take what you need with you and the rest can be stored in the refrigerator.
Photos, vinyl records, etc. that may be damaged by prolonged exposure to heat.
Fire arms and ammunition.

Clean and Sort:

All floors must be clean and vacuumed.
All clothes must be either hung up or folded neatly with no more than two loosely packed laundry baskets.
All plastic blinds must be all the way up. The heat can warp them and make them no longer usable.
All electronics must be turned OFF or unplugged.
All clutter must be removed from under beds and furniture. This is where they like to hide and must be clear for proper air circulation.
Dresser drawers must be loosely packed.

Store:

Medications. Take what you need with you and the rest can be stored in the refrigerator.
Food. Anything that might melt or spoil, such as chocolate, fresh fruit and vegetables, carbonated beverages, etc. can also be placed in the refrigerator.

This is a good starting point but please feel free to take any additional precautions to protect your personal belongings. Check manufacturer specifications for electronics to verify safe heat temperatures to prevent damage. Please keep in mind that Kansas Bed Bug technicians will be entering your closet and possibly need to open drawers in your home. If there are items you do not wish them to find, please make sure and remove them prior to treatment.

Kansas Bed Bug Heat Treatment Preparation Checklist

Ew! I get chills just thinking about them! Bed bugs are the worst. But how do you get them? Well, it might surprise you to know that these critters can live anywhere. They don’t prefer clean environments or dirty ones. Bed bugs live on one thing; human blood.

Since these disgusting little creatures can live so long without a meal (up to one year), they can hide out for a long time. They are the best hitchhikers as well.

To Put It Simply, They Get A Ride From You

Have you recently stayed in a hotel? Visited a courthouse? Truth be told, they can be everywhere. A great practice would be checking hotel pillows, sheets, and mattresses when you arrive. Always check your luggage when you leave too.

Have the kiddos recently stayed the night at a friends house? Yep, they travel like that as well. Where are you getting them from? They crawl into your sleeping bag, your shoes, your socks, and they come home with you. Then they set up a nice little nest everywhere.
So, how did you end up with these parasites? now you know.
