What Is Bed Bug Preparation?

Before a pest-control contractor can treat a residential unit for bed bugs, the property typically needs to be prepared according to the contractor's specific requirements. Preparation may include moving furniture, bagging belongings, handling bedding and laundry, clearing access to walls and baseboards, and decluttering areas that need to be treated. When a resident cannot complete this preparation themselves — due to age, health, the condition of the unit, or the volume of belongings — Entrust The Care can assist.

Entrust The Care provides preparation services. Pest-control treatment is performed by a licensed pest-control contractor.

Why Preparation Matters

Pest-control treatment is more effective when the unit has been properly prepared. If preparation requirements are not met, the pest-control contractor may not be able to proceed with treatment, or the treatment may be less effective. Proper preparation helps protect the resident, neighbouring units, and the building.

  • Treatment may not proceed if preparation is incomplete
  • Incomplete preparation can reduce treatment effectiveness
  • Preparation requirements vary by pest-control contractor
  • Entrust The Care can coordinate directly with your pest-control provider
