Ask the Orkin Man

What is the treatment for bed bugs on and possibly in a sofa?

Tuesday, June 16, 2009

Question: What is the treatment for bed bugs on and possibly in a sofa?
Have vacuumed the visible ones and eggs away.

 

ANSWER   Careful inspection of all the seams and wood spaces, remove the cushions and vacuum again -- top and bottom. If the cushions have zippers, inspect inside. Vacuum the cushions thoroughly too.

If you decide to spray the couch, choose the insecticide carefully.  The wrong insecticide might stain the fabric. Read the label and make sure the insecticide you choose is intended to be applied to upholstered furniture.
