Pests We Treat Photo Album: Maintenance Teams Finds Bed Bugs in Long Branch, NJ
A very concerned property manager in Long Branch, NJ called Cowleys when one of her maintenance staff discovered bed bugs in a recently vacated apartment.
Under the Edges
When we inspected, we found bed bug activity under the edges of the carpet, around the window and door trims as well as two couches that were left by the previous tenants.
Plan in Action
We began the treatment with a thorough vacuuming of the apartment, focusing on the cracks and crevices of the baseboards, trims, outlets and furniture. Vacuuming up the live activity instantly removes the threat of foraging bed bugs.
Dust Them Out
Once the apartment was vacuumed we applied a light dusting application into all of the wall voids. If any bed bugs are living in the walls they'll come in contact with the dust which will stop them in their tracks.
We'll Be Back!
Once everything was vacuumed and dusted, we applied a light liquid residual to all of the harborage areas. We'll return for a follow-up inspection to guarantee that the bed bugs are eliminated for good.
