I am having Connor's Pest Control in Virginia do a thermal treatment on our townhouse on Friday. They are going to vikane my car on Monday.
My question is, other than prepping the house for thermal, per Connor's instructions, what else should I be doing. Should I be bagging things, or spraying things, or cleaning things?
My problem is I am very time cramped. Connor's comes on Friday, I take the bar exam the following Monday-Wednesday, and then my family and I are moving out of state the next Thursday. I want to make sure that we get rid of the bed bugs, but I also don't want to fail the bar exam--because losing my job would be about the only thing worse than bed bugs. So during the next week I need to prepare for a move and finish studying for the bar, all while doing whatever needs to be done with these bed bugs. I'm hoping that the thermal will be enough, and that I can dedicate the next week to moving and studying. But I would like to hear any advice on that.
Are there things I can/should do that will make the infestation more likely to go away? Or is thermal about as good as it gets?
Thanks.

Hello there..I had thermal done in march and it was successful. I did not have to bag anything but there was a light prep to be done per pco. If I had to do it again though I would leave some dryer sheets out so it would smell nice and fresh instead of just hot like a dryer . Good luck on your bar and thermal

Scared, that's quite a load you're juggling. Would it be feasible to negotiate a delay of the test or time from work? This is a "family health matter" and you are, after all, a lawyer.
In any case, godspeed.
