Moving and Bedbug Preparation Services

Signs you may need moving and bedbug preparation

• Boxes packed before the home was inspected or treated.
• Moving blankets, totes, and furniture that travelled between units.
• Bedbugs found in a new home shortly after move-in.
• Used furniture brought in before the old pieces were cleared.

How the work is usually approached

1. Pack only clean, inspected items, and keep suspect belongings sealed and labelled.
2. Bag bedding and clothing before they go into boxes, then seal the boxes with tape.
3. Inspect the new home's beds, closets, and baseboards before the truck is unloaded.
4. Keep moving blankets and reusable totes separate, and clean them before reuse.

What affects the scope

• Move clean items first and leave suspect bags for a later, planned trip.
• Hire movers who will follow your sealing instructions, or move boxes yourself for tighter control.
• Delay the move until treatment is complete, or move with strict bagging when timing cannot change.

Questions to ask before hiring

• Which items must be bagged, and which can stay in place during treatment?
• What wash and dry settings do you want for bedding, curtains, and everyday clothing?
• Do you need furniture moved, emptied, or taken apart before the visit?
• How should we handle items that cannot be washed, such as books, shoes, or electronics?
• When should bagged items be opened again, and what should we check before using them?
• How should pets, plants, and people be scheduled around the preparation and treatment?
• What signs after treatment mean we should call you back rather than treat again ourselves?
