Discussion on when to Put Clothes Back after Bed Bug Treatment
Hi Niah, I just had a bed bug treatment in my house. When can I put my clothes back in the wardrobe?
Hello! After a bed bug treatment, it's typically recommended to wait at least one or two weeks before you start returning your clothing to your wardrobe. This period allows the treatment to work effectively.
Does this mean I cannot wear those clothes during this period?
The clothes that you are likely to use during that period should be washed and kept separately. This minimizes the risk of them becoming re-infested. The other clothes can be returned after the suggested period.
Do I need to take any special care before storing them back?
Yes, before storing your clothes back in the wardrobe, it's recommended to wash and heat-dry them. Bed bugs can't withstand high temperatures, so this process will effectively kill any bugs or eggs that may be on your clothes.
Oh, I see. Thanks for the advice!
You're welcome! Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions. Taking these precautions will ensure your home remains bedbug-free.
