NJ Pest Control experts agree that bed bug infestations continue to be a problem in multi-unit housing facilities across the United States. Once bed bug infestations are established inside one apartment or condo unit, they will eventually infest all of the units within the building unless they are vigorously treated by a NJ Pest Control professional.
Because of their tiny stature, bed bugs are able to travel between walls, using plumbing and electrical wires as a bed bug super-highway to gain access to each unit. Established infestations can be difficult and costly to treat as all tenants must cooperate fully and follow specific guidelines to eradicate these pests that attack in the night. If one tenant fails to follow the required instructions, the bed bugs will eventually be able to gain a stronghold on the building again.
Prior to bed bug treatment services, tenants are typically asked to remove all clutter from their home. It is wise to look for bed bugs on each item before placing them in a plastic bag or tote so that reintroduction of the pest does not occur after the eradication procedures are complete. Vacuuming hard surface items will help get rid of unseen bed bug eggs prior to placing in storage. All clothing and bedding should be placed in the dryer on the hottest heat setting for a minimum of 30 minutes. All furniture should be moved away from the walls so that they can be easily accessed by a pest control professional.
