Preparation
After receiving a quote and scheduling a two-hour arrival window, Green Shield will email you a detailed preparation guide.  This involves items like cleaning up clutter, drying fabric items on high heat, and making plans to be out of the home or apartment for a few hours on the day of service.
Inspection
There is nothing more thorough in the pest business than a Green Shield bed bug inspection.  Before starting service, your technician will spend time inspecting common areas where bed bugs are found: mattresses, box springs, furniture, under the edge of the carpets, and in all cracks and crevices.
Treatment
Treatment involves using EPA-approved materials including dusts, liquids, and aerosols which are applied to the infested areas.  Typically this takes about two hours for a single family home and often longer for multi-unit apartments.
After Treatment
Occupants and pets can enter the home four hours after treatment.  Vacuuming should be done 24 hours after treatment along with keeping the temperature set to a warmer temperature for a couple of weeks.
Follow Up
After two weeks, your Green Shield technician will return to inspect and usually retreat.  The same preparation should be done once more to ensure the area is void of clutter.  Since bed bug eggs can lie dormant for quite some time, Green Shield often monitors the situation throughout the year and comes back a few more times to ensure success.
Prevention
To help in the process, the best action to take is to keep a clean home.  Frequent drying of clothing and fabrics as well as vacuuming frequently is recommended.  Green Shield has helped many with a proven system and guarantee results, returning anytime for no charge if bed bugs come back.
