Most treatments require a few hours of ventilation before you can safely re-enter and use your living spaces. Always follow the technician’s specific instructions about re-entry timing.

Why You Should Sleep in the Same Bed

It may seem counterintuitive, but sleeping in your treated bed is actually recommended.

Here’s why…

• You act as bait – Bed bugs are attracted to body heat & carbon dioxide. If you move to another room, surviving bugs may follow & infest new areas.

• It tests treatment effectiveness – Remaining in the treated area helps ensure that any lingering bugs are exposed to the pesticide or heat.

What to Do Before You Sleep in Your Bed

To stay safe & help the treatment work effectively…

• Use mattress & box spring encasements to trap any hidden bugs.

• Don’t wash away the treatment unless advised, cleaning too soon can reduce effectiveness.

• Keep clutter down to eliminate hiding spots.

• Vacuum regularly but avoid disturbing treated areas for at least a few days.

Yes, you can sleep in your bed after bed bug treatment but only after the recommended wait time & safety instructions have been followed. Staying in your bed can even help ensure the treatment works fully & prevents the bugs from spreading to other parts of your home.
