Answer 2

cassie,

If they keep coming back then they are likely not reacting tothe chemicals that the pros are using and may be resitent to them.  You either need a new PCO, a stronger chemical (and that can be harmful to you), or a non-chemical spray to add to the arsenal.

The one that is often mentioned is called Kleen-Free and they also have one called Bedbug Terminator that kills bedbugs on contact.

You may want to get a bunch of their product and spray it around as well and since it is non-chemical you can reapply as much as you need.

Good luck.  Tough problem to have.

Answer 3

You have to take EVERYTHING out - clothes, bed, towels, sheets, rugs, ALL of it. Wash everything you can - throw away what you cannot. Have them spray a final time. You should not be in the house when they spray.

Wash everything in hot water and bleach whatever whites you can. (Not too much bleach -- too much makes whites turn yellow.)
