Bedbug Cold Mist Treatment

Appearance in the house bed bugs - a problem that people have faced since ancient times, it remains relevant today. The development of scientific progress contributes to the emergence of not only new tools, but also pest control technologies. One of these is the treatment of the infected premises with cold fog from bugs.

Parasite control sometimes requires a lot of effort, time and cost. And it is not always possible to achieve the desired result, as a result of which there is a need for repeated procedures. Processing with cold fog from bugs makes it possible to get rid of parasites in just one session.

What is this method?

The method of cold fog for the destruction of bugs is practiced by employees of the pest control service for processing of apartments and private houses from bugs. Those who have already used the services of such companies know what cold fog is.

This technique is based on the spraying of an insecticidal agent using a special generator, which is a compact mobile device. It generates a foggy cloud with the used insecticidal substance, turning it into particles no larger than 80 microns in size. Due to this, the smallest droplets of poison mixed with air settle evenly on all surfaces of the room, including not only interior items, but also panels and ceilings.

This technology for removing parasites is called “cold” because the smoke cloud sprayed as a result has a temperature close to the environment.

This method has already been appreciated by many professionals and consumers, leaving positive feedback on the treatment of cold fog from bugs. After all, technology has many advantages:

  • efficiency - the maximum result is achieved after the first treatment, the entire population of insects is destroyed in a matter of hours;
  • safety - subject to safety measures, the cold fog method will not harm human health;
  • aerosol steam generator allows the use of various chemical solutions;
  • insecticidal particles soar for a long time (up to 4 hours) in air, forming a uniform layer on the surface;
  • the possibility of penetration of the disinfectant solution into all inaccessible places and crevices is explained by the fact that the insecticidal fog covers the entire volume of the room;
  • a wide range of protection - cold fog treatment is effective not only against bugs, but also cockroaches, ants and other domestic pests;
  • saving - this technique allows you to economically use an insecticidal drug, because the price of most of these funds is very noticeable;
  • the insecticidal layer does not stain after application.

On a note!

Cold fog method for killing bugs increases the humidity level in the room. This nuance must be taken into account and objects removed in advance for which exposure to moisture may be harmful.

Preliminary preparation

Before you begin the process of processing a cold fog apartment, infected with bedbugs, you must correctly prepare the room to the upcoming procedure:

  • All households and pets should be removed from the premises, with the exception of aquarium fish. In order for them to safely survive this procedure, it is necessary to cover the aquarium with glass and wrap it on top with plastic wrap.
  • It is also not necessary to take indoor plants from the house. Cold fog treatment will be an excellent preventative for them against ticks, aphids, whiteflies or scale insects.

    Preparation for processing

  • All clothing (even that located in the cabinets) must be packed in plastic bags to avoid insecticidal substances. The same should be done with food and kitchen utensils.
  • Move furniture away from the walls. If possible, unroll the bed or remove the side armrests from the sofa, since it is in those places that bedbugs often hide. Doors and drawers of cabinets, tables and cabinets should be open.
  • All doors, windows, and air vents must be closed.
  • Make a wet cleaning in the room by removing the dust layer from the floor surface. This will help accelerate the effect of insecticidal components on bedbugs.

As already mentioned above, special generators are used to process the room, generating steam with the addition of insecticidal components that destroy bugs. Therefore, to obtain a successful result, it is important to have not only such a device, but also a highly effective anti-bug remedy. In addition, it should be as safe as possible for humans and pets. So many professional cold mist disinfectants use insecticides such as Get, Minap-22, Delta Zone or Lambda Zone.

Processing Rules

Self-destruction of bugs by cold fog is a very rare occurrence, since the cost of the steam generator itself is quite high. Much more profitable in this case will be contacting the pest control service. Those who have such an opportunity, a similar procedure should be carried out in the following order.

  1. The treatment of the premises by cold fog is carried out in special clothing and with a respirator.
  2. The insecticide is diluted with water according to the instructions.
  3. The prepared solution is poured into a special compartment of the steam generator, after which the device is connected to the electrical network.
  4. All walls and surfaces should be treated with insecticidal steam. Particular attention is paid to inaccessible places - pieces of furniture and baseboards.
  5. At the end of the treatment, the room is left closed for disinfestation for 2-4 hours, so that all bedbugs die after cold fog.
  6. After this time, the apartment is thoroughly ventilated. Then they do wet cleaning using a soap solution. Wipe only places where human contact is inevitable. The floors are washed after 1.5 weeks, and the remaining surfaces after three weeks.

Reviews

Recently bought a country house, respectively, they began to rebuild everything in it for themselves. They were terrified when plinths and wallpapers were torn off - large clusters of not only cockroaches, but also bugs. Folk remedies they could not cope with such hordes of pests, I had to contact the pest control service, whose staff recommended get rid of bugs and cockroaches cold fog way. The procedure really turned out to be effective - everything was just dotted with dead insects. More than 5 months have passed, we made repairs, and pests no longer bother us. The main thing is to adhere to the recommendations of pest control regarding what to do after processingotherwise the procedure will be ineffective.

After trying independently but unsuccessfully fight bugs, were forced to turn to pest control, who told us about the cold fog method. Disinfection cost although a bit tall, but the procedure is very effective.And if we take into account all our previous costs for chemicals, it turns out that such processing is much more profitable. And besides, we observed the result only a few hours later - bedbugs simply rained in near-death convulsions from all sides. After which more than 6 months have passed, no parasites have been detected. Thanks to the guys for the quality processing.

My friends recommended the method of cold fog to deal with bedbugs at an early stage of infection in the room. This processing method was very interesting to me, since I do not consider folk recipes effective. Apply the same chemicals I can’t do it on my own because I have asthma. Therefore, without delaying the matter, I called in the pest controllers, which, with the help of a compact device, processed my entire apartment in the cold fog way. Then I had to clean a lot and put everything in its place, but the result surpassed itself - parasites have not been detected for 4 months. Recommend.
