Bed Bug Services

For bed bug control green leaf begins with a thorough inspection of all the places that offer these insects favourable living conditions, such as dark hidden areas, behind baseboards, under loose rugs or wallpaper, in mattresses. In addition we inspect folds in chairs, beds and couches. We look for dark spots of fecal matter or blood and the cast skins, as well as the bed bugs. We may also utilize glue traps that are traditionally used to capture cockroaches or rodents, these traps excellent means of detecting bed bugs. They can be placed next to baseboards and other places that tend to be good homes for bed bugs.

Elimination of bed bugs requires meticulous treatment of all cracks and crevices of the infested room/structure and its furnishings.

Bed bug treatment is a two-way street. Below is a list of home owner responsibilities when treating bed bugs:

• Bed linens, drapes and all clothing articles must be washed in laundry detergent with hot water and then thoroughly dried.  Bed bugs can be killed by heat, and an ordinary clothes dryer can do the job.
  
• Bed bugs are transmitted through infested furniture, baggage, boxes, in suitcases, packed clothing, and bedding.  It is important that everything is emptied and cleaned.
  
• Homeowner management should focus on cleaning methods such as vacuuming.  A thorough cleaning may need to be completed more than once because eggs may be missed, or bugs may be well hidden during the initial vacuuming. Vacuum the mattress, paying close attention to tucks and along seams. Be sure to dispose of the vacuum cleaner bag immediately after the cleaning.
  
• It is very important that, that all cracks and crevices are sealed!  This means pipes, loose wall surfaces, baseboards and bed frames need to be caulked.
  
• Good management does not involve pesticide overuse.  You need to deny Bed bugs hiding places.
