what we’re looking for are signs of bedbug activity. black spots are signs of bed bug waste. these look like thin black streaks,and can be seen on sheets and upholstered furniture. molted skins are signs of bed bugsprogressing through the five growth stages between hatching and reaching sexual maturity.finding these will let you know that bed bugs have been successfully feeding and maturing over time. dried up blood stains can be possible signs of recent feedings and are commonlyfound on the fabrics of your bed or sofa. bed bug eggs are milky white and about halfthe size of a grain of rice. these can usually be found in hidden cracks and crevices wherethey won't be disturbed.
bed bugs themselves are oval and flat, unless they’ve recently fed. when they first hatch, they’re very small and hard to see; as they mature, theygrow dark and red, and will get to be about the size of an apple seed. you can begin your inspection by removing the layersof cushioning from your couch, inspecting every item you remove. since bed bugs aregood at squeezing into small spaces, it’s important that you leave no areas uncheckedor untreated. trace every seam, edge, and zipper from end to end using your credit cardand flashlight. there are tons of cracks and crevices underthe bottom of your couch; to reach those potential hiding places, you should remove the dustcover, which is mainly there for aesthetics
anyway. if you found any signs of bed bugs, you’llwant to start treating your couch right away. begin treating your couch by using a vacuumto pickup as many bed bugs, bed bug feces, and eggs as possible along the cracks andcrevices of your sofa. vacuuming for bed bugs is a great way to quicklyreduce the bed bug population before steaming and applying your residual chemicals. while you could use your own vacuum, it’srecommended to use a hepa filtered pco vacuum that features plugs and a shake-free bag toprevent bed bugs from escaping the vacuums body.
after you’ve finished vacuuming your sofa,you can move on to the next step in the treatment process which is steaming the cracks and crevicesof your couch. steaming is the most effective and environmentally friendly way of killingbed bugs and their eggs on contact. all steamers that we carry are capable of producing steamtemperatures over 180 degrees fahrenheit, enough to kill bed bugs and their eggs oncontact. to take full advantage of pin-pointnozzles, take a microfibre cloth and wrap it around the head of the accessory usingrubber bands to secure it. using the cloth breaks up the pressure coming out of the steamerand builds up the temperature at the tip of the accessory.
you can steam your sofa by following all cracksand crevices using your steamers pin-point nozzle attachment. you want to treat aroundthe armrest, below the cushions, and along every seam, to ensure you treat as many potentialhiding places as possible. if your steamer features a steam adjustment dial, turn thepressure down for flat surfaces and up to penetrate into cracks and folds. when finished, give your couch a few hoursto fully dry before applying your residual chemicals. you can also use a fan in the treatedarea to circulate the air and speed up the drying process. after you steam clean your sofa, it’s important to treat your couch with an effective residual.
