Our Services
Assess
We inspect your home to assess the level of infestation and work with you to create a comprehensive plan for remediation where we estimate the amount of hours your particular case will require. After estimating the cost of the job and assessing your specific needs, we carefully coordinate with other services to help tackle all aspects of the job. We will provide you with a checklist of instructions and best practices that include “what to do first” as well as a list of items you may need during the month.
Prepare
We work with Pest Management Professionals to ensure proper and effective preparation that meets requirements needed for their services. Adhering to prep requirements is critical in a fully successful extermination. This is a time exhaustive and emotionally draining process that includes moving and dismantling furniture, cleaning, decluttering living spaces where bed bugs can hide, deep vacuuming, packing and treatment of laundry. In addition to inspection of that can not be heat or chemically treated.
Restore
We are there for you through every step of the process. From prepping through extermination, to cleaning, organizing, and putting your personal items back in place, we deliver unmatched full-spectrum service to ensure you and your home are back in operating capacity in a safe and timely manner. While we do not do the actual extermination, we will help educate you on what to expect from the process. The entire process can be overwhelming and very time consuming and for an additional charge we will restore your home to previous working order by replacing your personal items that were removed during the prep and extermination process.
The Process
Do you have the time?
It takes the average person 2-5 FULL DAYS to prepare their bed bug infested home for extermination. The steps prior to extermination are critical for successful eradication. These steps include de-cluttering, dismantling and moving furniture, stripping, bagging, and washing all linens, window treatments, and clothes, as well as boxing and storing all personal items unable to be laundered. Do you have the time, energy, or physical capability to complete all the required steps? The likely answer to at least one of those is no. ALL bed bug extermination companies require you to prepare your home prior to extermination, Advanced Bed Bug Preparation will take care of all prepping requirements so that you are able to get back to living your life in a safe and timely manner.
De-Clutter
Removing the clutter of your home is the first step in bed bug preparation. Bed bugs can hide and thrive is areas of clutter for months. Discarding newspapers and magazines and removing clothes and blankets from the floors in your home will help eliminate further transfer of bed bugs between rooms in your home.
Pack & store
Packing and properly storing all items in your home that cannot be laundered or treated is the next step in total eradication of bed bugs in your home. Cardboard boxes are NOT recommended. All items must be securely and properly stored in plastic containers to ensure the bed bugs cannot elude extermination treatment and cause further infestation.
dismantle & move
If required, we will dismantle and move beds, mattresses, lamps, and additional bedroom and home furniture to ensure all items are ready for the extermination treatment. This process is critical due to the fact that the bed bugs are able to hide in areas of the furniture, avoiding treatment and thus re-infesting your home.
strip, remove & Clean
We strip, bag, and remove all linens, drapery, and clothes in your home. We then expertly clean and vacuum all infested areas of your home.
launder
We will securely pack all items able to be laundered and safely transport them to our washing facility where we will wash and dry your infested fabric items at the required heat to kill the bugs. After washing and drying your items, we will take care to fold and store them in bags before returning them to you. This process will take two weeks to ensure proper elimination.
restore
After extermination treatment is complete and the bed bugs have been eliminated from your home, we offer a restoration service. During this process we will return your items and assist in the unpacking and replacing of your personal items. We will clean and put together dismantled furniture, hang drapery, put away clean clothing and personal items that were stored.
