So I have been going through traditional spray treatments from Western Pest Services for the last two months. They said it was a minor infestation that was caught early. I am quite honestly concerned for my large collection of books, my computer (and other smaller electronics) and my two guitars. I have been researching methods to be sure they are safe and bb free.
I considered the packtite and related products, but the sheer volume and time makes this an extremely unattractive option. Plus, I don’t know if I trust myself to do it.
I have been looking at heating trucks, where they treat your items on a truck. Aardvark and Stern advertised this service, but I don’t think they offer it any longer.
The next option was DDVT strips. I’m concerned I would do it incorrectly and not kill the bugs (that probably aren’t there anyway).
I then chased down a Fumigation of a rental truck. This seemed viable, but the locations are extremely far and difficult to access.
Next was offsite heat treatments. This is pending as I am in contact with Aardvark in PA to see if they will allow me the use of their heat chamber. I’m hoping this will work, but the only unattractive option would be having to use a rental vehicle and not knowing if it would be safe after use.
My other pending option would be another Aardvark company that had a portable heat chamber. I assume they would bring it to my apartment and treat my things there. I have yet to hear back from them.
I guess I am hunting for options. I think that the infestation is solved in the apartment (no sightings in almost 20 days) and I want to be sure my things are safe. I ideally would rather not throw all this stuff away. Are there any companies that have the heat treatment trucks or offer fumigation services in Southern New Jersey or PA near Philadelphia. I am desperate and need some good news.
Thank you.
