Hi Miracle_bebe. Thank you for pointing out the error.
Anyway, just to update all of my 1st treatment session with Origin & Sparky Dog.
- Before Sparky starts work, the Technician who works with Sparky requested to take a look of house and advised us what to observe when Sparky at work.
- Sparky Dog brought into the house and started its investigation work from the bed rooms, walk way, living room, store room and lastly kitchen. I also requested Sparky Dog to sniff the bags of item packed n detected nothing. Phew!
- Upon detection of infested area, Sparky would sit down n refused to move until it is rewarded with food. To confirm the infested area, the technician pulled Sparky away but Sparky would return to the infested area n wait for its food.
Result of Sparky's findings:-
4 infested areas identified are all in the 2 bedrooms in the house:-
(1) maid's bedframe - a corner.
(2) wooden side skirting in the maid's room.
(3) my Bedframe - a corner. No sight of bedbugs but spotted bb tiny feats stain on my mattress.
(4) wooden side skirting in the MBR.
Aftermath of treatment:-
Stayed out one night and returned home the next day to clean the house.
- Found bbs mainly unfed nymphs killed. There was one adult bb (quite big) found dead on my mattress (didn't spot it when we checked the mattress for bb).
- Threw away my maid's infested bedframe n unwanted furniture to ease the cleaning work require after the 2nd treatment in 2 weeks time.
Effectiveness of Sparky's findings and treatment are still in question but I m happy that some infested areas are found. Before that, I seriously have no clue where to start to treat the infestation as we don't see them (just spotted few live bb crawling on few occasions) n no bites thus far (mayb no allergy reaction to their bites - both my gal n myself share the queen size bed did not suffer any visible bites) in my case. The bb are really difficult to identify. The bug at the infested area picked up by the technician was so tiny that I would think it is dust. Sparky will return for inspection one week after the 2nd treatment session. Hope the infestation is cleared.
Though professional help sought, the battle against bb is expected to be long. Maintenance is still required as such pests can be everywhere. The Origin technician advised it is best to seal the cracks/gaps found on wall n parquet flooring. Went to TPY lorong 3 to get the DE powder, a lady advised us to scatter n spray DE powder around the whole house and not just the infested areas to prevent the return of bb or prevent them from spreading at least.
The technician assessed my bb infestation to be mild but it is enough to cause trauma to me. Now I sleep with lights on.
Hi Joey
Understood that u have previously engaged Origin to eradicate the bb but the infestation returned. Pardon me asking, how bad was the bb infestation when u called for the service? Did u do any maintenance thereafter?
