Prevention & Treatment

Bed Bug
Bed bug prevention tips for your home
  • Wash all bedding regularly in hot water (at least 120 degrees) and dry it at a high temperature.
  • Thoroughly wash or dry clean curtains, rugs, drapes
  • Cover mattresses, pillows, and box springs with a high quality protective cover for bed bugs that resists tearing. Modern Pest Services offers KleenCover® mattress covers which are impermeable to dust mites, bed bugs, mold and bacteria.
  • Vacuum floors regularly. Use the vacuum brush tool to vacuum mattress and bedroom upholstery. Use the smaller vacuum attachments to vacuum crevices in the mattress, bedroom furniture and baseboards.
  • Reduce clutter to eliminate additional hiding spots for bed bugs.
  • Check your own bedroom for bed bugs from time to time. Catching bed bugs early will make treatment easier. A flashlight and magnifying glass may be helpful for close inspections.

    •     • Remove all bedding and check mattress and box spring thoroughly.

        • Examine cracks and crevices in bed frame and headboard, especially if       the frame is wood. (Bed bugs have an affinity for wood and fabric more       so than metal or plastic).

        • Examine bedroom furniture such as nightstands, dressers, upholstered         chairs, and sofas.

        • Check other common places to find bed bugs such as along and under         the edge of wall-to-wall carpeting, cracks in wood molding & ceiling-wall       junctures, behind wall-mounted picture frames, mirrors, switch plates &       outlets, under loose wallpaper, in nearby clothing and clutter, and inside      clocks, phones, televisions and smoke detectors.

  • Seal any cracks or holes in flooring and walls (especially around wires and pipes) to prevent the bugs from traveling inside or from neighboring apartments.
  • Avoid purchasing used furniture if possible. But if purchased, examine it carefully for bed bugs, paying special attention to used mattresses, bed frames and bedroom furniture.
  • If you spend time in crowded places (e.g. subways, movie theaters) or stay overnight at a friend or relative's house, check your clothing, shoes, pocketbook, knapsack, travel bag, etc. for bed bugs upon return.

Modern Offers Treatment Options
While we can't prevent bed bugs from being introduced into your home, Modern Pest Services offers both conventional chemical treatment and Thermal Remediation® or heat treatment to help control bed bugs and protect your family. And starting in early 2011, Modern will be offering canine inspections, a faster, more reliable way to detect bed bugs.
