Clutter & Successful Heat Treatment
We naturally accumulate things the longer we live in a place and the tendency is to toss the excess into the closet or stack on a shelf. Unfortunately this works against you if you ever pick up a Bed Bug infestation. If it is a moderate to heavy infestation, it is highly likely the critters have dispersed into the dresser drawers and closets. As Pest Management Professionals we routinely see homes where our preparation instructions are not followed and we are trying to eradicate a pest that has numerous places to hide from our heat. The key to successful Heat Treatment is uniform temperatures in all likely harborage areas. 50% of a successful treatment is preparation, so it is important to take the time to properly dispose of unwanted items, bag excess clothing and clean out closets to ensure success the first time.
