HEPA Vacuum
Vacuum cleaner equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filter that captures 99.97% of particles 0.3 microns or larger, preventing allergens and pest debris from being released back into air.
Common Use Cases
- Remove cockroaches, eggs, and debris
- Initial bed bug egg and nymph removal
- Remove pest allergens from surfaces
- Clean pest-infested areas before treatment
- Remove food sources and grease in harborage areas
Application Instructions
Ensure HEPA filter is properly installed. Use crevice tool attachments for tight spaces. Vacuum all harborage areas: cracks, crevices, behind appliances, inside cabinets, along baseboards. Move slowly to ensure complete pickup. For bed bugs: use low-lint disposable bag to prevent re-release. After vacuuming pest-infested areas: immediately remove bag, seal in plastic bag, and dispose in exterior trash. Clean vacuum exterior. Replace HEPA filter per manufacturer schedule.
