Preparation instructions for homeowner/tenant

  • Communicate treatment plan and expectations to the occupants, including removing clutter, and laundering clothes and bedding at high heat
  • Make sure all items are removed from floor, underside of bed, and closet floors
  • Move furniture 2-3 feet from wall
  • Thoroughly vacuum carpet throughout the room, beneath furniture and in closets

How to handle initial service?

  • Treat high and low. Don’t forget infested areas above eye level, such as behind strip wallpaper, textured ceilings and around fire alarms
  • Spot treat baseboard and floorboards with CrossFire
  • Apply CrossFire as a surface spray to mattresses and box springs. Treat all harborage sites and migration paths
  • Treat wall voids, behind light switches, socket covers and cracks and crevices with CimeXa Dust

What to communicate?

  • Sleep in the same bed as you would normally to make sure the bed bugs come out at night. This makes the treatment effective
  • Vacuum prior to each treatment
  • Once the issue is resolved you can use bed bug covers to make sure it’s not coming back

How to handle follow ups?

  • For significant infestations treat same as initial
  • For light infestations can treat with Temprid FX instead of CrossFire
