Heat Treatment Preparation Instructions

Do not move personal belongings between rooms. Bed bugs can travel on infested items.

Leave bedding and pillows on the bed as they are.

Do not strip the bed or push it against the wall.

Leave clothes in drawers and closets, loosely arranged to allow airflow.

Avoid overstuffing drawers or compacting clothes.

Move all furniture in bedrooms and living areas towards the middle of the rooms leaving at least 12 inches (1 foot) away from the walls.

Leave 2x2 feet of clear space in each room corner for our equipment.

Any items sitting directly on the floor in the closets should be removed and placed on bed.

Pickup any insulating items that’s sitting flat on the floor.

To Prevent Reinfestation

Leave bags, purses, and backpacks in the room being treated.

Carry valuables out in clean plastic bags that were not stored in infested areas.

Wear freshly dried clothes before leaving for treatment. Avoid sitting on furniture once dressed.

All People and Pets Must Leave the Premises
No one can remain inside during the treatment or return before treatment completion.

ITEMS TO REMOVE OR PROTECT

Place Outside or in a Safe Location:

• Horizontal blinds (non-metal)

• Plasma TVs (other electronics are fine)

Refrigerate the Following:

• Perishable food

Posters and Wall Decor

• Carefully remove posters or wall hangings and place them in a protective container. Airflow from treatment can knock them off walls and cause damage.

Vacuum

• Remove dust and powders from the floor to reduce fire risk and improve airflow.

Elevate Items Off the Floor

• Move suitcases, bags, and cardboard boxes off the floor and place them on furniture or beds.

DISCLOSURE & DAMAGE WAIVER

Heat treatments involve raising room temperatures to between 50°C and 65°C (122°F–149°F) to eliminate all life stages of bed bugs. While damage is rare, some items may be sensitive to high heat (e.g., laminate furniture, adhesives, flooring).

By allowing Technica Pest Solutions Inc. to perform the heat treatment, you acknowledge:

• Items left in the property may be exposed to these temperatures.

• Removing items prematurely could result in reinfestation.

• We may move items or use supportive materials (e.g., milk crates) to ensure effective treatment.

• You accept the minimal risk of damage due to heat exposure.

POST-TREATMENT GUIDANCE

• Vacuum up any dead bugs from around baseboards, bed frames, and furniture.

• If you notice live insects after treatment, take a photo before disposing and send it to us for identification.

• We recommend you also get vehicles treated as this could be a source of reinfestation.

ABOUT CHEMICAL SPRAY (IF INCLUDED)

• Inform us in advance if you do not want a residual insecticide applied.

• Re-entry: You must remain out until the heat treatment and any chemical application is complete and dry (typically by the end of the day).

• Product Used: Temprid SC (PCP # 32524)

• No cleaning is required post-treatment, per product label.

Although rare, some individuals or pets may be sensitive to pesticide products. In the event of a reaction, seek medical assistance immediately.

By agreeing to the treatment, you accept the risks involved and release Technica Pest Solutions Inc. from liability related to pesticide exposure.
