Professional Bed Bug Service
Prior to performing this, or any service, the pest control professional will usually—and should always—provide you with a list of specific preparation activities, “prep,” to be completed before he or she arrives. Following are some of the most common of the requests or recommendations made by PCOs. These also should be followed prior to using any over-the-counter bed bug control products yourself. (When using any pesticide, thoroughly read and follow all label directions and safe-use guidelines prior to purchase and use.) Because a lack of preparation could make a bed bug treatment unsafe or cause reinfestation of the entire home or building, many PCOs will not treat areas if they have not been prepared according to the specifications that were given. This is because bed bugs can live in the tiniest of places, so an unprepared area could serve as a hidden and impenetrable harborage during the treatment.
