Cleaning After a Bed Bug Infestation: Step-by-Step Protocol

Kicked bed bugs out of your Montreal place? Cleaning’s the next battle—mess up, and they’re back. In 2025, Montreal’s infestation rate’s up 40x since 2005, with tourism and high-rises fueling returns. Follow this proven protocol for your North Shore or South Shore pad.

Step-by-Step Cleanup

1. Vacuum Like a Boss: Hit seams, cracks, and floors daily—sucks up 90% eggs/adults. Empty bag outside in sealed plastic.
2. Steam Everything: Use 100°C+ steam on mattress, furniture, baseboards—kills leftovers.
3. Wash & Dry: Hot water (60°C+) and high-heat dryer (30+ mins) for bedding, clothes.
4. Seal & Toss: Encase mattress/box spring, ditch infested items (curb finds), declutter.
5. Sanitize: Wipe with alcohol/disinfectant—non-residual kill.
6. Monitor: Set traps/interceptors to catch stragglers.
