Q

Can you steam the mattress after you treat it with the Phantom spray for bed bugs?
I recently bought some phantom spray and also Amerivap steamax from your company to treat bedbugs. I wonder whether I can steam the mattress after treating it with phantom spray. If so, when can I do it after phantom spray? Should I do it immediately or wait for some time. IF so how long? Or should I just steam my mattress and then use the spray after?

You should steam the mattress and all other surfaces first before applying any insecticide. This is because it is very difficult for any insecticide, cleaning product, or anything else really to withstand that type of steam and at that temperature. Chances are the steam would instantly remove any traces of Phantom or any other product you have applied. So for this reason, we always recommend steaming first and then applying the product.

Q

If I am not able to see any bedbugs, how will I know if I have gotten rid of all them?

A

The test to see if you still have bedbugs is actually if you, or the occupants of the infested room, do not receive a bite in a 30 day period. That is the "test" most professionals use. A lot of areas also offer bedbug sniffing dogs which may be more effective but also quite expensive.

Q

Does the steamer have to come in contact with the bedbugs? How does that work if they only come out at night?

A

Steam must come into direct contact with bedbugs to kill them. You need to steam the most likely hiding spots instead of waiting for them to come out. Steam all of the ticking, seams and folds of furniture. Steam all of the cracks and crevices on furniture. Steam any other place you suspect the bedb…

Q

Is the AmeriVap Steamax a continuous water fill?
can you add water to the water reservoir while the machine is in use?

A

The Amerivap Steamax Steam Cleaning System is not a continuous fill. This is because the steamer pressurizes the tank to create the PSI and the proper temperature in the boiler, so opening it would release the pressure. When refilling with water it should only take 8-10min for the refill time to re-…

This is because the steamer pressurizes the tank to create the PSI and the proper temperature in the boiler, so opening it would release the pressure. When refilling with water it should only take 8-10min for the refill time to re-reach the max temp of 290 degrees, and if you are using it on the medium setting, you should get 1-1 ½ hours of continuous run time from one tank.
