     Bed Bugs Check List
     What You Need To Do Before  and After Quick-Kill Comes To Your Home 

  • Be prepared to leave the home during treatment and for 4hrs afterwards, as recommended by Quick-Kill.

  • Remove all pets from the home during the time of treatment including fish tanks. If not, fish tanks are to be covered with plastic wrap, and pumps turned off until reoccupying home. 

  • Remove all sheets, covers, dust ruffles, or any other bedding covers from the mattresses and box spring in all bedrooms. Wash all bed linens in the hottest water possible. REPLACE the bed linens four hours after treatment.  COVER ALL MATTRESSES AND BOX SPRINGS COMPLETELY WITH PLASTIC BED COVERS.

  • If any mattresses, box springs, or other furniture are in poor or ripped condition and infested, they should be removed from your home and discarded. Note: Quick-Kill may need to remove the backing from box springs in order to treat all harborage areas. 

  • Remove ALL personal items including clothes, toys, shoes, stored materials, etc., from the furniture and floor area throughout the home. 

  • Remove everything from ALL closets. Completely empty all bedroom drawers and empty all books and items from bookcases prior to treatment. 

  • The bathtub, kitchen counters, dining room tables, and coffee tables can be used to place items on during the treatment.

  • Vacuum all of carpeting, bedding, bed frame, backs of pictures, and other areas bedbugs are seen before and after the treatment. Immediately empty the vacuum cleaner bag and dispose of it in an exterior dumpster or trash.

  • Move all items and furniture away from walls. Quick-Kill will need access to all baseboards and behind all furniture. (Everything may be returned to its original location, by the homeowner, after the treatment is completed.)

  • Clean or launder all clothing in the hottest water possible and store in clean storage bags for up to two weeks after treatment. Any stuffed toys or other fabric-based personal items should be run through a pre-heated, hot dryer cycle for a minimum of 15 minutes.

  • If ALL of the above has not been done by the homeowner, Quick-Kill will NOT warranty the Treatment. 

  • GIVE THE TREATMENT TIME TO WORK. Your house has been treated with residual materials that continue to kill bed bugs for weeks. To give the treatment time to work, do not shampoo or clean floors or carpet for at least three weeks after the treatment.

  • Allow three weeks from time of treatment for it to be completely effective. If you see any signs of bed bugs after the treatment, they may be killed by you the customer, by vacuuming them up or by capturing them in a tissue, crushing them, and then discarding them. Vacuum carpets daily in the first few weeks. Throw out the vacuum bag immediately after cleaning. If the problem persists after three weeks, it is advisable that homeowners contact Quick-Kill.  Only 1 retreatment will be given. (A trip charge of $75 will be due upon the treatment. Any retreatments after that will be ($210.00 per room.) Furniture that has been treated, previously by Quick-Kill, that continues to have bed bugs MUST be discarded before the retreatment takes place. Apartment residents with concerns should contact their management office.
