So, after your house has been treated with pesticides, what do you do next? Yes you want to get back in and clean the floor, vacuum etc but.. first heed the warning about when you can return to your home and anything you were supposed to do, like opening window etc. You can keep your house clean while still preserving the integrity of the treatment. Cleaning of the treated area can safely take place about one week after the application but don’t remove any chemical under baseboards. If any bait boxes were left in your home, clean around them. Talk to your technician about cleaning tips and particulars as you don’t want to waste money on unsuccessful extermination due to hasty cleaning.
