Bed Bug Infested Mattress Removal

A common response upon the discovery of bed bugs in the home/apartment is to immediately discard the mattress, boxspring, and furniture without taking the proper measures to stop the spread of infestation during the removal of the items. Potentially vulnerable areas include:

The path of travel taken to exit the residence.
Hallways, elevators, lobby’s, common areas.
Other apartments.

Furthermore, leaving infested furniture by curb side or in the local dumpster has the potential to be brought back into circulation by a fellow tenant or an unsuspecting garbage shopper.

Extreme Cleanup’s disposal services properly prepare items marked for removal. Our equipment and techniques ensure that the infestation is not spread during the removal process. Our method is thorough and effective.

1. Vacuuming and hot dry steaming of infested items.

WHY: Eradicating obvious bed bugs prior to removal is the best way to stop the spread of infestation.

2. Deface mattress, box spring, and furniture to an irreparable state.

WHY: Eliminate any possibility that infested items are taken from the garbage dump and brought back into circulation.

3. Shrink wrap mattress, box spring, and other furniture. Infested garbage is removed in secured bins and sealed plastic bags.

WHY: Our shrink wrap ensures bed bugs do not fall off during removal.

4. Drop sheets are placed in elevators where furniture will be temporarily resting during removal.

WHY: Protecting the elevator is further precaution against spreading infestation

5. Removal of the infested items into our truck for environmentally responsible disposal.

WHY: Because that’s what we do!

6. Vacuuming the floors along the path taken to remove the infested items from the residence.

WHY: Further reassurance that we are taking all possible precautions to avoid the spreading of bed bugs into common areas and other apartments.

Extreme Cleanup’s bed bug infested furniture removal service takes every possible measure to ensure the responsible removal of your infested furniture and stop the spread of the bed bug.
