Disinfection of an apartment from bedbugs

Disinfection of an apartment from bedbugs is an unavoidable procedure in cases where bed bugs have already firmly settled in the room. No matter what the grandmothers and admirers of ecological methods of struggle say, folk remedies such as vinegar, turpentine and wormwood do not destroy parasites, and will not help to get rid of them forever.

Disinfection of premises from bedbugs is today the only reliable and universal way to solve once and for all the problem of the presence of blood-sucking parasites in their apartment. Disinfection in the common people is understood primarily as the use of various chemical insecticides that directly destroy insects.

On a note

The term "disinfection" in relation to fight bedbugs, and any parasitic insects, is incorrect. In its original sense, disinfection involves the destruction of microscopic pathogens of various infectious diseases - bacteria and viruses. Bedbugs do not cause disease and do not belong to the representatives of the microcosm. Experts, speaking about the fight against insects, use the word "pest control", which translated means "the destruction of insects."

However, very often, even in the professional literature, the use of the expression “apartment infestation by bugs” is found, and therefore, in general, the term “disinfection” is quite possible to operate with.

Like any other method of pest control, disinfection from bedbugs requires the most rapid decision-making and the complete processing of the room itself.

Professional exterminators know that bugs are much more difficult to exterminate parasites than other unwanted guests of residential apartments - cockroaches, ants, and even moths.

 

Features of disinfection from bedbugs

Disinfection of apartments from bedbugs is a rather complicated process, but at the same time feasible even for an unprepared person.

Bed bugs are insects unique, and therefore the fight against them has several specific features:

• bedbugs willingly settle in even completely clean and tidy apartments.In this way they differ from cockroaches, for which the gloss and the absence of rubbish are, in fact, unfit living conditions.
• Bedbugs parasitize a person by biting, disturbing sleep and rest, causing pain, itching, and sometimes even allergies. Therefore, it is impossible in any case to pull with disinfection from bedbugs. Every new day with bedbugs is another sleepless night and some damage to overall health.
• The bugs are fairly resistant to many chemical insecticides, because the traditional Dichlorvos and Doust do not work against them.
• Bedbugs lodge in a room very extensively, being located in different places, often - extremely inaccessible for humans. That is why the destruction of their nest alone will have no effect.

On a note

It is because of the placement of bedbugs in different places in the room, tips like "take out a sofa with bedbugs in the cold" do not work. The place of the frozen fellows will be occupied by bugs from the baseboards or from the cracks in the closet.

• Bed bugs can go without food for a very long time. And because just leaving the room for a week or two in the hope that the parasites will go in search of food - a failure step in advance.
• Finally, bedbugs are constantly breeding.Some insecticides are very effective against adult bugs and their larvae, but do not destroy eggs. This means that after a few nights after disinfection, the newly saw generation will go to the snow-white bed for food.

All these features make bedbugs a very specific object for control and imply competent disinfection procedures. Such disinfection against bedbugs can be carried out both by specialists and sanitary teams, as well as by the residents of the apartment.

 

Professional disinfection from bedbugs

The call of specialized services for the control of domestic insects in most cases turns out to be the best solution to the problem of bedbugs in the room. Specialists of such services know perfectly well in what places in the room the bugs settle most often and by what means they need to be destroyed.

Most disinfection services provide a guarantee for a certain period after their work, during which the bugs will not appear in the room.

Especially responsible specialists can even pre-calculate which of the neighboring rooms are infected with bedbugs and advise to conduct simultaneous disinfection in several apartments.This ensures that a month after the treatment of the room, the bugs will not move from their neighbors.

Today, literally in every major city there are several disinsection services, in addition to the urban SES. Choose among them is primarily in the number of recommendations and real reviews, and only after looking at the prices of work.

Whoever was disinfected from bugs, its cost will always be not much higher than that when buying an effective insecticide on your own.

Additionally, when choosing a service, you should:

• pay attention to the drugs used. Typically, disinsectors use professional products such as Biorin, Minala, Chlorpirimak, Tetrix, Sinuzana, Ektermina. If during the conversation the service manager speaks about the use of Chlorofos or Dousta, such a company is not credible.

On a note

These professional tools are equally effective against bugs and against other insects. And because disinfection from bedbugs and cockroaches is carried out in a single treatment.

• Ask about the preparation of the apartment for processing in detail. The use of any insecticides requires the removal from the premises of all people and domestic animals, and special procedures for preparing for disinfection.If the manager of all this does not stipulate, then the service works carelessly.
• In the ideal case - to find a person who successfully used the services of such a service, and learn from him the name of the company.

In general, it is noticed that private services for disinfection from bedbugs work more reliably than state-owned SES. This is due to competition in the market - small companies work for reputation and therefore try to ensure maximum results.

Feedback

“These fighters from SES came four times, each time with a new instrument. The guarantee was given, they swore that they would surely izvadut, only bugs appeared again after two or three weeks. Three times they gave us all the disinfection for free, under warranty. We could not stand it, and the next time we poisoned the parasites by the Executioner. We didn’t have them anymore. ”

In any case, the disinfection of an apartment from bedbugs by professionals will be carried out in all rooms and will require special training and the apartment, and the residents themselves. The customer service manager advises on such preparation, but some provisions are standard and useful for general information.

Prior to disinfection, it is necessary to plan to remove all residents, domestic birds and animals from the premises for the whole day. The aquarium, if any, is closed with a cover glass and the compressor is turned off.

It is advisable to remove the bed before disinfection from the beds, and the beds and sofas should be disassembled by removing the mattresses and pillows from them.

It is important to provide for the access of specialists to all places in the apartment - closets, corners, spaces behind the cabinets. If necessary, you need to move the furniture.

It should immediately prepare for the wet cleaning of the apartment after disinfection - buy the necessary detergents and stock up with washcloths. After processing the apartment will have to wash all surfaces.

It is worth knowing in advance how much disinfection costs from bedbugs in a particular city. For example, the processing of a one-room apartment in Moscow costs an average of 2400-2500 rubles, a two-room apartment - at 3200-3400 rubles.

“In Krivoy Rog, it’s almost the same for us to call SES, to buy a Hangman box. According to the instructions for the treatment of two-room apartment you need 20 bottles. This is 360 hryvnia, and the call of the SES brigade costs 300. And why should I then toil myself with these poisons? ”

Tatyana Alexandrovna, Krivoy Rog

Some services stipulate a reprocessing beforehand if the initial disinfection of the bugs has not destroyed. However, most modern means ensure the death of all insects and their eggs in the room already with a single use, therefore, with the correct work of specialists, repeated processing will not be necessary.

 

Fight against bedbugs on their own

Disinfection from bedbugs on their own is a process well worked out for today, and therefore in many cases apartment owners prefer to carry out this procedure without the involvement of special services.

However, with such disinfection it is necessary to adhere to the following rules:

• for the treatment of the apartment should be purchased reliable and proven products: Hangman, Insecticide, Fufanon, Tetrix, Combat, Karbofos.
• On the day of the disinfection from the apartment must be removed all inhabitants.
• The handler should wear maximum closed clothing, gloves and glasses. The use of a cotton gauze bandage is highly recommended.
• The tool must be applied to the maximum number of surfaces as indicated in the instructions. If it is a liquid, it must be sprayed with a brush and a spray gun, if the powder is scattered in the habitats and movements of insects.
• Clothes in wardrobes, books, toys, household appliances and bed linen must also be processed, if desired, packed in bags and filled with the preparation.
• All procedures should be carried out with the windows closed, since most insecticides quickly decompose in fresh air.
• After the treatment, the room should be kept closed for several hours, then the windows should be opened, all rooms should be aired and a thorough wet cleaning should be carried out. Wash treated items and bedding thoroughly.

It is important to understand that when infecting by bedbugs of neighboring apartments, even perfect disinfection will not give a long-term result - the bugs will sooner or later move from the adjacent apartments. Therefore, before processing the room, it is advisable to find out which of the neighbors also infected the apartment, and the treatment carried out jointly.

If such an arrangement is impossible, it is necessary to provide protection for your apartment from neighbors' bugs: smear the windows and entrance doors with small Masha, treat them with ventilation ducts and window sills on the windows. In this case, you can countthat after disinfection the bugs do not penetrate into the apartment from adjacent rooms.
