Steps

  1. Clean affected areas. Pick up newspapers, magazines, cardboard and bottles.
  2. Store clothing and linens in sealed plastic boxes or bags.
  3. Vacuum the affected areas using a crevice tool. Thoroughly clean using a HEPA filter type vacuum and then dispose of the vacuum cleaner bag in a sealed plastic bag.
  4. Wash and rinse affected areas. Use a soap bucket and a rinse bucket to prevent spreading insect eggs, food, and other wastes.
  5. Clean appliances by unplugging them and sweeping them with a vacuum.
  6. Shut the pests out by sealing affected areas. Use the appropriate sealing materials based on the type of problem. For example caulk areas or seal with weather stripping.
