Preparations

Ok, here is what needs to be done when you prepare to spray for bedbugs. I won't write it all down, but I'm sure you'll get the idea.

Empty all drawers in bedroom. All bedding off the bed. Bed frames dismantled. All clothes to be washed/dried or dry cleaned and put into a sealed plastic bag. (For 4 weeks after treatment.) All bedding, sheets, blankets, drapes to be washed/dried or dry cleaned and put into a sealed plastic bag. (For 4 weeks.) All shoes in a sealed plastic bag. All art removed from walls. All items in bedroom to be packed (still not sure how.) Vacuum everything! (walls, baseboards, floors, etc.) Put vacuum bag in plastic, seal and throw away. Repeat vacuuming frequently for 4-6 weeks after extermination.

Are you getting the picture? What a nightmare! When I told a friend today about 'the bedbug situation' he stuck out his hand, shook my hand, and stated, "Welcome to New York." Welcome to New York indeed!
