Bedbug Eradication

A tricky bedbug infestation is easily eradicated quickly by a professional who understands the problem and the solutions. A Personal Touch Carpet Cleaning specializes in cleaning carpets, air ducts and upholstery for its residential and commercial customers, and has become a recognized professional in eradicating bedbug infestations.

Extreme heat, over 120 degrees Fahrenheit, kills bedbugs and their larvae more effectively than any other technique. A Personal Touch’s commercial-grade steamers exceed that temperature and do a thorough job. Plus, of course, they also clean these fabric surfaces, leaving them both bug free and dirt free.

It’s important to thoroughly clean all personal items too in a household or hotel that’s been infected with bedbugs. Items that can be laundered should be washed in HOT water only and then dried in a dryer for at least 30-40 minutes. It is wise not to jam the washer or dryer full, but rather spread the laundry from the infected room into several loads to be sure the bedbugs and their larvae don’t survive. In addition, a vacuum cleaner can be an effective means of removing the pests, but it is essential to throw out the vacuum bag and clean the machine to halt the spread of the bedbugs to other areas in the home, hotel or business.
