Recommendations for the Multi-Family Housing Resident

1.  Keep a clutter free home. Cleanliness has nothing to do whether you have or get bed bugs but clutter free living spaces make detection and mitigation easier and less expensive. Early detection is the key factor for cost effective mitigation. Pest professionals are only 30% accurate while a certified bed bug scent dog is 95-98% accurate. “Dusty Boot” can do an inspection in a fraction of the time it takes a pest professional.

2.  Do not buy second hand items at garage sales, thrift stores or bring home used furniture from unknown sources. If you do buy small used items take the immediate precaution of washing the item and/or putting them in the freezer for four days or dyer for forty-five minutes.

3.  Do not waste hard earned cash on any bed bug spray or chemicals found at local big box stores. Sprays need to be professional strength and even then sprays are the least effective way to mitigate against bed bugs. There are too many failure points and the infestation may worsen or spread, as a result.

4.  As a preventive buy and spread Food Grade Diatomaceous earth liberally in crevices and a strip by egress doors. Diatomaceous earth is green, economical and effective against a number of insects, including bed bugs. However, it does not kill bed bugs quickly but retards infestation.

5.  Put 1/3-1/2 cup of Borax in vacuum bag to prevent infestation and spread of bugs by way of the vacuum. This should be done to any vacuums used in central and common halls. Common areas, lobbies and laundry areas particularly upholstered furniture should be routinely inspected for bed bugs.

6.  Inspect bed routinely, seams, around cording and between mattresses looking for small black flecks and or bugs. Donʼt wait for bites, only four out of ten people react to the bed bug bite. Yes, it is possible to have bed bugs without knowing it.

If you suspect you have bed bugs do not move to another bedroom or couch. Moving from bed to bed or bed to couch makes the problem worse by spreading the bugs to multiple rooms. Call a pest professional, immediately.

7.  Do not move infested furniture through common halls and corridors without bagging the item. Large bags may be bought from U-Haul. When discarding infested items deface i.e. pour ketchup over them, so that no one is tempted to take the items.
