Thermal Remediation Extra Measures
Mattress Covers
Along with other cutting edge methods, Tri-County supplies and installs mattress covers to trap and kill bed bugs in the mattress and box spring. Additionally the white color and reduced number of seams make beds and box springs with covers much easier to inspect. We utilize both active covers (covers that have been impregnated with permethrin and actively kill bed bugs) and passive covers (covers that provide an escape proof seal to trap the bed bugs until they eventually die). An expert technician will help you determine which option is best for you.
Extended Warranty
With any method of bed bug control, but especially with Thermal Remediation, it is very difficult to prevent bed bugs from being reintroduced. For this reason, many pest control companies refuse to offer a warranty on their services, or offer a very minimal one. However, here at Tri-County, we have developed an extended warranty program that involves monitoring, preventative maintenance, and training. Schedule a consultation today to find out more about this unique program.
