Helpful Tips to Easily Prepare Your Home for Effective Pest Control
Disinfestation is the control of pests such as cockroaches and mosquitoes using various methods. If you hire a professional M24FMS to help us fix the problem, you should prepare properly and be careful, especially in the case of personal belongings. Find out what to do to improve the effects of our treatments and what you need to protect.
DISINFESTATION - THE METHOD OF PROTECTION DEPENDS ON THE METHOD AND MEANS
Combating insects is based on several methods, the most popular of which are spraying, fogging and gelling, which require thorough preparation of the house or apartment before treatment. The vast majority of measures used require, first of all, the protection of food and personal items with which we have direct contact. But what exactly should you do to complete the disinfestation without any problems, getting rid of all uninvited guests.
HOW TO PREPARE FOR DISINFESTATION - SPRAYING AND FOGGING :
We most often use these methods to remove cockroaches, bedbugs, ants and mosquitoes that often appear in our homes.
Below are the basic steps you should take to prepare for this type of procedure:
- Walk around your house or apartment and assess where the most insects live. Record this information so that you can pass it on to the M24FMS professional. If pests don’t have permanent habitats, remember where you saw them in the first place.
- Move home appliances and furniture away from the wall by a dozen or so centimeters to provide access to the M24FMS professional.
- Remove moldings, plinths and other places where insects may nest.
- Secure or remove all food items. If disinfestation is performed in the entire apartment or house, it is worth either taking it out of our property or packing it in vacuum containers (which should be thrown away after the treatment).
- Take all personal items from home or secure them carefully with foil. First of all, you should protect: – bedding – pillows, pillowcases, sheets, blankets (bedbugs), – cutlery, – toothbrushes, hairbrushes, razors, – mascots, children’s toys, – towels, toilet paper and soap.
- Hide food bowls and pet food.
- Clean the cabinet under the sink and unplug all electrical appliances.
- Roll up carpets and, if possible, remove the carpet as well.
- If you have an aquarium, cover it tightly with foil or move it outside the disinfestation area .
When dealing with bedbugs, also follow these steps:
- Remove any pictures, clocks or decorations from the walls, but leave them in the apartment or house.
- Remove everything from the beds and then unfold them. The sofas should be separated into first parts. When fighting bed bugs, it is also worth placing the mattress and bed upright, making the work of the M24FMS professional easier.
- Vacuum the bed and its surroundings, secure the vacuuming bag with foil and throw it into the trash.
- Make sure to remove bed bugs from your clothes – wash all clothes at 45 degrees C (if possible), and bedding even at 60 degrees C. If you are afraid that you have brought insects in your suitcase from your holiday, leave it for bed bug removal as well.
WHAT TO DO AFTER DISINFESTATION
The treatment traditionally takes 20-60 minutes, but you should not enter the rooms (which must be tightly closed) for about 2 hours. Here’s what else you should do after the procedure:
- After the time when you should not be at home or in an apartment, you should air the rooms for about an hour.
- Then we must wash the surfaces that may come into contact with food with ordinary detergent and water, especially: – sink, – kitchen countertops, – tables.
Note: We do not mop, vacuum, sweep or clean the remaining space!
GEL DISINFESTATION – YOU DON'T NEED TO PREPARE
Disinfestation using the gel method is considered the least troublesome because it does not require any preparation. It is safe especially in houses or apartments where there are babies, elderly people or animals.
