Inspection:

• Professionals conduct a thorough inspection of the affected areas to determine the extent of the infestation. This involves checking bedding, furniture, cracks, crevices, and other potential hiding spots.

2. Identification:

• The pest control experts identify the species of bedbugs involved. Knowing the specific type of bedbug is crucial for determining the most effective treatment methods.

3. Treatment Plan:

• Based on the inspection findings, professionals develop a customized treatment plan. The plan may involve a combination of methods to target both adult bedbugs and their eggs.

4. Chemical Treatments:

• Insecticides specifically formulated for bedbug control are applied to key areas where bedbugs are known to hide. These chemicals are chosen for their efficacy against bedbugs while minimizing risks to humans and pets.

5. Insecticide Dusts:

• Insecticide dusts may be used in areas where liquid treatments may not be suitable, such as wall voids, electrical outlets, or voids between walls.

6. Heat Treatment:

• Professionals may use heat treatment, raising the temperature in infested areas to levels that are lethal to bedbugs and their eggs. Heat treatment is effective for treating entire rooms or structures.

7. Steam Treatment:

• High-temperature steam is applied to specific items or areas where bedbugs are present, such as mattresses, furniture, and carpets. Steam treatment can kill bedbugs on contact.

8. Vacuuming:

• Industrial-strength vacuums are used to physically remove bedbugs, eggs, and debris from infested areas. Vacuuming is often part of the preparation and follow-up process.
