Uncle Walt's Bed Bug Kit

Bed Bugs

Inspection Check List:

• Cracks and crevices in head and foot boards, attached side railings and supports
• Inspect mattresses top, sides and bottom. Check all buttons, seams and rips.
• Inspect electrical switch plates, pictures on walls, wall posters
• Inspect cracks in plaster or seams in wall paper.
• Inspect electrical appliances-radios, phones, televisions, ect.,looking in hiding places.
• Inspect tack strips under wall-to-wall carpeting and behind baseboards
• Inspect secondhand beds, bedding, and furniture. The newer better built mattresses do not offer as much shelter and protection for the bed bugs to hide.

1. Cyzmic CS is a concentrated insecticide that leaves a residue behind to continue killing. Mix 3/4 oz of Cyzmic CS with 1 gallon of water and apply with a pump sprayer.

Spray around and under the bed and along baseboards near the bed. After removing the drawers from the furniture spray the inside of the cabinetry, as well as the bottom and sides of the drawers. Do not treat inside of the drawers. The clothes in the drawers should be removed and laundered.

2. Cimexa Dust is a ready to use dust that is ideal for use on the mattress and box springs. Fill the duster half full. First shaking and then squeezing the duster will create a fine dust that resembles smoke. This is just what you want for dusting the mattress. Pay particular attention to seams, folds, and stapled fabric under the box springs. The joints where the rails and headboard connect are also prime hiding areas for bed bugs. You may need to remove the fabric under the box spring to access the inner springs. The mattress is safe to sleep on once it's covered with a sheet.

3. Alpine Aerosol is an insecticide that is designed for use in small cracks and crevices. You should spray around and under the bed and along baseboards near the bed. Do not spray bed linens. After removing the drawers from the furniture spray the inside of the cabinetry as well as the bottom and sides of the drawers. Do not treat inside the drawers. The clothes in the drawers should be removed and laundered. You should retreat in 10-14 days. Remember to read and follow all label instructions.
