How do you use and apply your commercial bed bug treatment?

I am ready to purchase your commercial bed bug treatment product. I am not sure how to apply and any special clothing I should wear during application.

Answer:

Here are a list of the products that are inside the Commercial Bed Bug Kit. We would recommend using gloves when applying the products as well. Here is also an article for you to utilitze with videos and pictures on how to do the treatment in the room. http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com/how-to-get-rid-of-bed-bugs-a-109.html   Temprid SC (400 mL): A concentrated liquid residual insecticide. Mix 8 mL of concentrate with a gallon of water.  The finished solution should be applied with a Chapin one gallon hand sprayer. For infested mattresses, remove linens and wash before reuse. Apply Temprid SC to tufts, seams, folds, and edges until moist. Allow to dry before remaking bed. Apply to bedsprings, box springs, and the interior of bed frames or headboards, including all cracks and joints. When bed bugs are found in upholstered furniture, apply only to the infested tufts, seams, folds and edges, but do not apply to flat surfaces where prolonged human contact will occur. If bugs heavily infest furniture (inside cushions and/or batting) apply a labeled insecticide dust. Apply as a crack and crevice treatment to all baseboards, moldings, beneath floor coverings and carpets, closets, shelves, curtains, furniture and picture frames that may provide harborage to bed bugs. Temprid SC can be re-applied every 7 to 10 days as needed. Alpine Dust (3 lb. pail): Dust products like Alpine Dust will last on surfaces for 8 months to a year (and sometimes longer), allowing them to kill bed bugs long after your initial treatment.  Dusts don't kill as fast as sprays or liquids, but they last longer, which is why we always recommend dusting in addition to spraying. Dusts are great for applying under baseboards around the room (this stops bedbugs from fleeing the room and spreading to other areas), for dusting on and inside the box spring itself, and for dusting in cracks and crevices where liquids may not go (such as in and behind picture frames, underneath furniture, in the cracks of dresser drawers, and in the joints, cracks, and hollow tubing of bed frames, etc.). Alpine Dust is best applied with the hand duster that is included with your kit. Reapply as needed. Bellow Hand Duster: The bellows hand duster included with this kit should be used to apply the Alpine dust to any cracks and crevices needed. By using the bellows hand duster you will be able to apply the correct amount of dust in the correct place. Phantom Aerosol (17.5 oz.): Phantom aerosol is one of the best bed bug control products available and will kill all stages of bed bugs including adults, nymphs and eggs. Phantom also has a very long residual that continues killing bed bugs long after you apply the product. Phantom Aerosol can be sprayed along the tufts, folds and seams of the mattress and in the bed frame, box spring and along the cracks and crevices of furniture, etc. Apply at a rate of 2 seconds per linear foot. For spot treatments, hold can approximately 12 inches from surface to be treated and release product at a maximum rate of 11 seconds per 2 sq. ft. Do not apply more than once in every 4 weeks.
