What to do ?
• In order to prevent the spreading of the problem to other areas there are procedures that must be observed.
• Do not remove any bedding or other items to another room in an effort to relieve yourself of the problem.
• This may very well cause the spread of the problem to another area.
• Until the problem is identified and solved all precautions should be taken to ensure that the problem remains isolated so it may be adequately treated and solved.
• Another issue is to remain calm and not start a panic.
• It normally takes months for a severe infestation to spread to other rooms within the same general area.
• The probability that it has spread is very minimal.
• Have Evans Pest Control evaluate the situation and determine if there is indication that additional inspection and/or treatment is necessary.
