How We Check Upholstered Headboards
The inspection process is detailed and methodical. First, we check the seams and folds of the headboard. Bed bugs often hide in these areas. Next, we examine the mattress and box spring closely. Our goal is to find any signs of infestation, such as:
- Dark spots (fecal matter)
- Molted skins
- Live bugs
After the inspection, we provide a report detailing our findings. If we detect any issues, we discuss treatment options with you.
Preventing Bed Bugs During Move-In Season
Prevention is key when it comes to keeping your space bug-free. Here are a few tips from the Broken Arrow Exterminator:
- Inspect second-hand furniture before bringing it in.
- Use mattress encasements to prevent bed bugs from entering.
- Keep your living area clean and clutter-free.
