Bed Bug Removal Long Island – Doug’s Bugs is taken seriously before a full-blown infestation occurs within your home. We realize that inspection is the most precise way to verify a bed bug infestation. Doug’s Bugs inspectors’ are qualified in several insect detections and are trained and evaluated annually to ensure accuracy.
Preparing for Treatment
✸ Remove all sheets, pillows, and bedding materials. Seal them in a plastic bag until they can be cleaned to prevent an infestation from spreading.
✸ All the bedding materials are required to be dried at high temperatures for at least 15 Minutes. This will also be necessary for all clothing or bedding stored beneath beds or in dressers, where bed bugs were found. (Only high heat eliminates adults and eggs within these items.)
✸ Clean all floors of loose items and vacuum the entire carpet, especially the edges with the crevice attachment. Dump and seal all contents into a plastic bag and discard in an outside trash bin.
✸ Ensure all items are removed within dressers, nightstands, bookshelves, coffee tables, etc. All wood furniture must be inspected for bed bugs and their eggs.
✸ Move all furniture and bed frames at least 18 inches from the wall, so we can inspect and treat carpet edge and baseboards where bed bugs prefer to hide.
✸ Lean mattresses and box springs against the wall for inspection and treatment of small crevices and tufts.
✸ Upholstered furniture (couches and chairs) will need to be inspected and treated. Remove and bag throws, pillows, and slipcovers, and dry at high temperatures. Vacuum deep into crevices with a crevice attachment.
Other Considerations:
✸ All people and pets must be completely removed from the residence for 4-6 hours after treatment.
✸ Aquariums: Disconnect air pump(s) and cover tank with a towel. (No more than 6 hours or fish may die)
Treatment for Bedbugs
✸ The professional exterminators at Doug’s Bugs will provide 2 treatments, performed approximately 7-10 days apart with a 60-day warranty should bedbugs return after the treatment.
✸ We will inspect the entire area before the service is performed to determine the level of infestation, then begin to treat mattresses and box springs, bed frames, dressers and nightstands, and perimeter baseboards in all bedrooms. Also, we will treat the living room, couches, love seat, recliner, end tables, coffee table, and any other areas with bedbugs.
EARLY IDENTIFICATION
✸ Eggs are white and only 1mm long.
✸ Premature bugs are pale colored and relatively translucent.
✸ Adults are roughly ¼” in length and reddish colored.
✸ Females bedbugs can lay 3 – 8 eggs per day.
✸ Eggs hatch after 6 – 10 days.
Bed bugs are generally non-active while eating and can be located in their hiding places.
Bed bugs are very resilient and may survive up to a year without a food.
Bed bugs choose to hide in close proximity to where they feed, such as beds, but have been documented to travel 100-150 feet to acquire a meal of blood, so it is unlikely to reduce an infestation by leaving an area unoccupied.
Even though they don’t have nests, bed bugs accumulate in places that can be designated by dark spotting and staining of dried waste. Eggs, shells, brownish skins of the bugs themselves will be found.
TREATMENT PLAN
✸ Void area treatment.
✸ Residual and contact applications.
✸ Includes re-inspection to certify bed bug eradication.
✸ 30-day warranty.
