With the global explosion of bedbugs it is no news finding yourself trapped in the middle of the infestation of these blood thirsty bugs. Have you found yourself in a bedbug infested apartment or new home or you are just planning a travel but not sure whether you will not import back the bedbugs? well this shall be a good read.
Once
bed bugs have been confirmed in the living area of an individual or family,
there may be good reason to move them to a different area or apartment while
the infested one is treated. However bed bugs may be transferred with personal
belongings, causing more trouble in the new living space. Some suggestions for
moving to a new location without bringing bed bugs are as follows:
·
· 1. Placing all potentially infested belongings
in clear plastic bags that are tightly sealed.
·
2. Keeping items that cannot be
sanitized inside clear plastic bags and employing aerosol pesticides may be recommended
for a faster solution or placing the sealed items under scotching sun for a day
or two.
·
3. Ensuring each individual
shower and change into clean clothing and shoes and bag up the current
(possibly infested) clothes for laundering.
· 4. Ensuring only those
belongings confirmed bedbug free especially after laundering are brought into
the new home or apartment.
· 5. Employing vinyl or bed bug
proof covered mattresses for the beds of each member of the household. Also
cover box springs if they are present.
6. Whether
you move permanently or temporarily, leave furniture behind if possible to
allow it to be treated. 7. Treat furniture before moving it. Take with you as few
items as possible at first.
8. Pets
must be relocated during treatment. Leave behind their bedding and cages,
unless these items can be thoroughly washed.
