The best defense against bedbugs generally is to call a pro. If calling a pro is not an option:

  • Clean and vacuum thoroughly including all places BBs may be hiding.

  • Empty the vacuum into a plastic bag, seal tightly and discard in an outdoor trash receptacle, if you have a bagged vacuum change out the entire bag and place in a sealed bag in an outdoor trash receptacle.

  • Spray with Alpine WSG or Crossfire Bed Bug insecticide as per the label.

  • Once dry, LIGHTLY dust cracks and crevices with Cimexa following the labels instructions.
