Bedbug Handling: Destruction Guaranteed

Those who have already encountered the problem of populating an apartment with blood-sucking insects and struggling with them on their own decide to seek the help of professionals. Vain attempts at repeated treatments, time spent and efforts force a person to cause a disinfector. Destruction of bugs by special services brings a more effective result. The presence of high-tech equipment, professional insecticides and an integrated approach to the client’s problem is the key to successful processing, which allows to destroy up to 90% of individuals in one go.

Why turn to specialists

Calling a de-service allows you to get a guarantee on the performed service and recommendations on preventing re-infection. There are companies that not only carry out processing, but also restore order after disinfestation. Accordingly, the payment for processing from bedbugs will be higher, but the client’s efforts to prepare the apartment will be minimized.

Attention! There are times when a company is entitled to refuse warranty processing. This item must be set out in the service contract!

Pest control from bedbugs requires a thorough approach to the problem and specialist skills. You need not just put the drug on furniture. This is a complex and time-consuming process that requires patience. Even an experienced disinfector is not able to process a one-room apartment in 20 minutes. A minimum of 1 hour is necessary to apply the drug to all the designs of the bed, the space under the furniture, the cracks in the floor and walls.

Significant arguments in favor of calling specialists are:

• Saving own time;
• No risk of poisoning family members with chemicals;
• Warranty on the work performed;
• A quick result that cannot be achieved using folk methods;
• Legal responsibility of the contractor in relation to the client;
• Anonymity.

The last paragraph indicates the possibility of ordering treatment using odorless drugs. Neighbors will not know that pest control activities are being carried out in your apartment. Most self-care products smell a lot. The smell extends to the entire staircase and rises through the ventilation structures to the upper floors. It is impossible to conceal the fact of bullying bugs.

When ordering a service from a company, remember that you need disinfection, not disinfection from bedbugs. These are two different events from each other. Disinfection is the destruction of pathogenic microflora, bacteria and spores, and disinfection - insects.

Attention! When calling a service, set out the problem correctly! Irresponsible companies will carry out disinfection in the apartment by spraying a disinfecting solution. Microbes in the room will be destroyed, and the bugs will continue to live!

What is to be processed

When ordering a service for the destruction of bugs, many want to process only a berth, referring to the fact that they bite exclusively at night and one member of the family. Question - why "flood" the entire apartment?

The treatment of an apartment from bugs is a complex of measures that includes applying a chemical to all surfaces, washing and ironing.Partial processing will not bring the desired result. Bedbugs migrate from the couch to the genital crevices or to the back of the storage cabinet.

Attention! Do experts strongly recommend completely disassembling a sofa or bed before treatment? Watch out! Analysis of furniture for components will lead to the fact that the bugs will run away! You can resort to such actions in the presence of a disinfector, which will immediately process every component of upholstered furniture.

The ceiling is subject to processing if it is glued with tiles or is stretched. Even the seams of the departed wallpaper must be “passed” with the drug in order to destroy all parasites.

If the hostel infects bugs, all rooms and MOPs (public places: kitchen, corridor, shower) are subject to processing. If other neighbors refuse pest control, take all measures to prevent relapse by sealing outlets, outlets for sewer and heating pipes, ventilation, and the door frame.

How to choose a pest control service

The difficult choice is to call the SS to destroy the bugs or give preference to a private company. As practice shows, non-state firms work cheaper, give a guarantee for the work performed, and go to the site at a convenient time for the client.

But the private company needs to be chosen correctly.

Be carefull! When choosing a company for reviews on the Internet, keep in mind that negative feedback can be tricks of competitors!

A bona fide bug killing service should:

• Provide the client with a full package of documents, including a warranty card, a contract for the provision of services, an act on the work performed, a receipt;
• Give a full consultation on the preparation of the apartment for the upcoming disinsection;
• Provide certificates of conformity for the chemicals used;
• Work in accordance with SanPin;
• Prevent unauthorized persons from being in the apartment;
• Be fully responsible for the safety of the client’s property;
• It is possible to present information on further actions of the landlord;
• Do not be rude or impose additional paid services not specified in the contract.

No company with a well-deserved reputation will not promise to bring bugs at a time. It's impossible! The degree of colonization by bloodsucking can be such that a second, and sometimes a third, treatment is required.

Sanitary and epidemiological station differs with honesty towards clients; they recommend at least 2 disinsection from bedbugs, with an interval of 10-14 days.

When do not provide a guarantee

Each company practices its own methods. Someone promises to re-process for free, but the cost of the first will be many times different from the price of competitors. Some companies provide a guarantee discount, which can be used for a certain period. The size of the discount depends on the degree of infection of the object.

Destruction of bugs with a guaranteed result is carried out only after assessing the infection and the sanitary condition of the apartment. If the house is cluttered, more than 4 people live in a small area, the basic rules of sanitation are not respected - the company has the right to refuse a guarantee.

Professional treatment from bedbugs consists not only in the application of highly effective products, but also in the use of special equipment. It is the correctly chosen method of pest control that guarantees the result.

What equipment do the desalins work

To combat blood-sucking insects, cold and hot fog generators are used. The preliminary stage is the application of the active substance with a pump spray. Many bugs use a paragenerator to hunt bugs. This cannot be the primary method of destruction.

High-quality processing of premises from bugs is the filling of the perimeter of the apartment and furniture using a pump sprayer, with the further use of a cold fog generator. In the first case, drip spraying is practiced, in the second - finely dispersed, in the form of fog.It is a suspended cloud with a chemical that does not allow insects to go into shelter.

Not all companies use the hot fog generator. Many drugs disintegrate when heated and are not suitable for pouring into equipment. The result may be zero.

Professional destruction of bugs using hot fog and a drug that retains its properties when heated can be recommended to residents of the private sector. In apartments, such processing can not be done! A cloud of fog rises through the ventilation structures and can cause poisoning among neighbors.

Before you call SES to destroy bugs, inquire about the methods used.

What do they use

Professional remedies for bedbugs are drugs with a high content of active substances. Household insecticides contain a minimum concentration of toxic compounds, therefore, the result of self-persecution is not sufficiently effective.

For sanitation from bedbugs, professionals use several chemicals. "Cocktail" can combine funds based on:

• Cypermethrin;
• Chlorpyrifos;
• Malathion;
• Fenthion.

Alpha-Cypermerin, Zeta-Cypemetrin can be used as excipients.

It is interesting! De-services use nerve agents, intestinal and contact effects. A triple hit on bloodsuckers does not leave them a chance for life.

All drugs must undergo state registration on the territory of the Russian Federation, and are also approved for use in residential premises.

Training

It is important to properly prepare the living room for disinfestation. Bedbugs hide in the most secluded corners of the apartment. With a strong infection, even in the bathroom, settlement is observed.

Processing an apartment is a coordinated work of professionals and a client. The most important thing is to provide the disinfector with access to hard-to-reach places. How to prepare an apartment for treatment from bugs? Start with furniture. Bedside tables, beds, a sofa, the TV needs to be pulled out to the middle of the room to enable the professional to apply the chemical to the nooks and corners under the baseboard and the rear walls of the furniture.

The next steps in preparing an apartment for disinfestation are:

1. General cleaning of the room;
2. Analysis of rubble of books and newspapers;
3. Household waste;
4. Isolation from the apartment of pets, indoor flowers, birds at the time of processing;
5. Laundry bedding at the highest temperatures;
6. Disconnect the fish filter from the electrical network and cover the aquarium;
7. Packaging opened food in plastic bags or cans with tight lids;
8. Removing paintings, watches, panels from the walls. Bedbugs like to hide behind decor items.

Children's toys made of plastic can be packed in bags and folded in the middle of the room. Ragged game accessories are to be washed and washed.

Activities after disinfestation

Depending on the used insecticide, you can’t enter the apartment from 3 hours to three days. It's not just about the smell. Many drugs can cause an allergic reaction in households. Children and pregnant women are usually at risk.

What can I do after processing an apartment from bedbugs? Thoroughly clean with bleach and detergents. Upon returning home, housing needs to be aired. A rational solution would be to open all the windows and leave the room for 1 hour.

Cleaning after treatment from bugs is reduced to wiping with soap and soda solution the surfaces that all family members come into contact with:

• Door handles, refrigerator, cabinets;
• Countertops for pedestals;
• Dinner table.

Bed linen needs to be changed, washed and ironed with steam.

It is not necessary to clean the rugs; it is enough to vacuum the floor covering, collecting dead individuals.

What results to expect

Bedbugs after disinfection can annoy households for 5 to 7 days. The intoxicated individuals move slowly, they are easy to catch and crush.

Do not expect instant results.Bedbugs that bred for several months cannot die overnight. Up to 90% of individuals die during the first bullying.

Attention! Cold fog has no effect on the larvae! With severe infection, egg clutches may remain. After hatching, some of them will receive a dose of the poisonous compound, while others will continue to live.

It depends on the chemical used by the disinfector how many bugs live after treatment. The death of individuals averages from 15 minutes to 1 week. If the insects cheerfully run and continue to bite domestic ones, it is necessary to call a deservice a second time.

Is bedbug reprocessing necessary

In case of severe infection of the object, repeated disinsection is required. In this case, professionals use drugs with a different composition.

It is interesting! Many want to get the result the first time. This is possible in the case of settlement by single individuals, accidentally entering the house and destroyed before laying eggs.

If re-treatment from bedbugs is carried out, after how many days to wait for the result? 5 - 7 days are necessary to free the apartment from bloodsuckers, provided that all recommendations of the desluzhba are observed.

Repeated bullying is aimed at the destruction of hatched eggs. Considering the period of the emergence of larvae, at least 14 days should pass from the moment of the first pest control.
