Bed Bug infestations can be an overwhelming and highly stressful experience.  These pests are typically found in sleeping areas such as mattresses, box springs, and upholstered furniture. Bed bugs are notorious for causing itchy, red welts and can be a major nuisance if they infest your home. The most important step is to effectively manage the removal and disposal of infested furniture. If you find yourself in need of professional assistance to remove these infested items, The Hauler Junk Removal will be there to assist with all your Bed Bug furniture removal needs.

Here are the steps to effectively remove bed bugs with our assistance:

Step 1: Identify the Infestation: The first step in dealing with bed bugs is to confirm you have an infestation - look for signs such as small reddish-brown bugs, tiny white eggs, shed exoskeletons and fecal stains (dark spots that look like pepper flakes) on bedding, mattresses or furniture.  

Step 2: Contact The Hauler Junk Removal: Once the infestation has been identified it's time to call for professional assistance. You can contact us by calling (760)331-3289, email to schedule an appointment at thehaulerjunkremoval@gmail.com or book directly online! 

Step 3: Safe and Discreet Removal: Our team specializes in the removal of infested furniture with effective techniques to prevent the spread of bed bugs to other areas of your property.  We will always prioritize the safe removal of all infested items to remain discreet and professional to ensure your privacy is not compromised. 

Step 4: Quarantine: Remove infested bedding and clothing. Seal them in plastic bags to prevent the bugs from spreading to other areas of your home.

Step 5: Reducing Clutter - Bed bugs often hide in cracks, crevices, and clutter. Reducing hiding spots can make treatment more effective.

Step 6:  Wash and Dry all belongings: Clean infested bedding, clothing, and curtains in the hottest settings possible. High heat (at least 140°F or 60°C) will kill bed bugs and their eggs. Dry on the hottest setting for at least 30 minutes.

Step 7: Clean: Vacuum thoroughly while paying attention to seams, cracks, and crevices where bed bugs hide. Dispose of the vacuum bag in a sealed plastic bag immediately after use. 

Step 8: Use Bed Bug Covers: Encase your mattress and box spring with bed bug-proof covers. These covers trap any remaining bed bugs inside and prevent them from feeding.

Step 9: Chemical Treatment: You may choose to use insecticides labeled for bed bug control. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully and consider hiring a professional pest control service for more severe infestations.

Step 10: Prevent Reinfestation - After treatment, it is important to take steps to prevent future infestations. This includes being cautious when traveling as bed bugs can hitch a ride in luggage or clothing. Regularly inspect your home for signs of bed bugs.
