Bed Bug Treatment, Eradication & Removal 

Client Instructions

By Pest Dominion

Bed bugs are persistent, highly invasive pests capable of rapid reproduction and deep harbourage in furniture, fabrics, cracks, and crevices. Pest Dominion provides a professional two-part chemical treatment programme, engineered for full eradication when customers follow all required preparation and aftercare steps.

Your cooperation is essential.
Success depends on both the treatment and your preparation. Incorrect or incomplete preparation significantly reduces effectiveness.

1. Guarantee & Customer Responsibility

To ensure fairness and transparency, Pest Dominion uses a Preparation Quality Score (1–10) during inspection.

• Score 8 or higher: Eligible for a free third treatment if required.

• Score below 8: Guarantee becomes void due to insufficient preparation.

Points Breakdown:

• Washing and correctly bagging clothes: 3 points

• Vacuuming floors, carpets, mattresses, and upholstery: 2 points
  Skipping these tasks automatically loses 5/10 points.

Important:
Failure to follow instructions may result in treatment failure. Pest Dominion cannot be held liable where preparation or aftercare has not been correctly followed.

2. Treatment Overview

Part 1 – Initial Chemical Application

Professional-grade insecticides targeting eggs, nymphs, and adults:

• Cypermethrin

• Tetramethrin

• Piperonyl Butoxide

• Pyriproxyfen (IGR)

• Permethrin

• Two powders (one insecticidal, one non-toxic desiccant)

Part 2 – Follow-Up Treatment (2–4 weeks later)

Ensures eggs that hatch after the initial visit are eliminated.

3. Pre-Treatment Instructions (Mandatory)

These steps MUST be completed before our technician arrives.
Insufficient preparation will weaken results and may void your guarantee.

A. Declutter Safely (Critical)

• Remove clutter such as toys, books, shoes, and boxes.

• Do NOT move items into untreated rooms (this spreads infestation).

• Dispose of infested items responsibly in sealed bags.

B. Laundry Requirements (High Importance – 3 Points)

All bedding & clothing from affected rooms must be:

1. Placed in airtight sealed bags before moving.

2. Washed in hot water above 49°C.

3. Dried on the highest heat setting above 60°C.

4. Follow garment labels – Pest Dominion accepts no liability for damage.

Items that cannot be washed must be:

• Frozen at –30°C overnight, or

• Heat-treated using professional laundry services.

C. Vacuuming (Mandatory – 2 Points)

Vacuum using a HEPA-filter machine:

• Carpets & rugs

• Beds & mattresses (especially seams and folds)

• Sofas, chairs, upholstery

• Curtains

• Skirting boards & floor edges

Immediately dispose of vacuum bags in sealed plastic bags outside the property.

D. Furniture & Room Access

• Move all furniture 30 cm (12 inches) away from the walls.

• Strip all bedding from beds.

• Empty drawers, wardrobes, bedside units.

• Keep heating on if the weather is cold.

E. Items to Remove from the Room

• Electronics (mobile phones, laptops, tablets)

• Food & drinks

• Personal belongings

• Pets & children

F. Avoid These Mistakes

• Do NOT introduce new or second-hand furniture.

• Do NOT use DIY sprays or foggers – they cause chemical resistance.

• Do NOT move items between rooms.

4. What to Do on the Day of Treatment

• Ensure full access to all rooms being treated.

• Remain outside treated rooms for a minimum of 4 hours (HSE guidance).

• Allow surfaces to fully dry before re-entering.

• Ventilate thoroughly once safe to re-enter.

5. Post-Treatment Instructions (After Each Visit)

A. Do NOT Clean Treated Surfaces

For minimum 2 weeks, do NOT:

• Vacuum

• Mop floors

• Wipe skirting boards

• Wash carpets

This ensures the residual insecticide continues to work.

Full cleaning may resume 3 weeks to 2 months depending on infestation severity.

B. Continue Sleeping in Treated Rooms

This encourages bed bugs to cross treated surfaces and die more quickly.

C. Manage Humidity & Temperature

• Keep rooms warm (22°C+).

• Reduce humidity using open windows or a dehumidifier.

D. Normal Expectations After Treatment

You may still see:

• Slow-moving or dying bed bugs

• Occasional live activity for 7–14 days

This is normal as the treatment continues working.

6. Requirements Before the Second Treatment (Very Important)

You MUST complete these steps 24 hours before your second appointment:

1. Vacuum Thoroughly Again

• Carpets

• Beds & mattresses

• Sofas & upholstered items

• Skirting boards & edges

2. Re-create Access for the Technician

• Move furniture 30 cm from walls

• Keep rooms decluttered

• Keep heating on in cold weather

3. Do NOT wash treated surfaces

All chemical residue must remain in place from the first treatment.

4. Ensure all laundry tasks are completed

Unwashed clothing harbouring eggs will reinfest the property.

7. Additional Legal Protections

To protect Pest Dominion:

• We accept no liability for damage to items laundered or heat-treated incorrectly.

• Chemical effectiveness depends on customer compliance.

• Guarantee applies only when preparation score is 8+.

• Reinfestation from external sources (guests, travel, neighbours, shared buildings) is not covered.
