What To Expect: Upon Treating Infestation Below is a 3-step process almost all our clients go thru when using Green Bean Buddy Bug Killer, whether it be bed bugs, roaches, fleas, ticks, or any other insects listed above.

1. "Waterfall Effect" - Expect to see more pests initially. The formulation will bring these bugs from their hiding locations.

2. "Panic Cycle" - Expect the biting insects to try to bite you or your pets more during your first treatment. These biting-type insects (bed bugs, fleas, ticks, ants, etc) will be in complete panic mode and trying to feed to survive, this is normal and means you are getting rid of them.

For feeding-type insects (roaches, etc), they will try to hide close to nest, then begin to defecate for feeding purposes of the young, as roach young feed of the feces of the parent roaches.

3. "Death From Dehydration" - Expect some pests to die immediately, but most will die a few days later due to dehydration. This allows the other pests to feed off them causing the formula to spread through the entire infestation.

What To Expect: Re-Treatment May Be Needed Your probably thinking, if Green Bean Buddy Bug Killer is so great. Why must we re-treat our residences/pets with it again. Well, this is a really good question...

The reason we recommend a consistent re-treatment cycle is due to external variables you may not be able to control. For example in bed bug or flea & tick infestations, how you got the pests was most likely totally out of your control and not your fault.

Bed Bugs/Fleas/Ticks can come from all these sources: + From guests/friends or pets staying over - past 6 months + Using public transportation (taxi, bus, plane, etc) + Hotels, resorts, theme parks - luggage / backpacks + Used furniture or clothing (even if its in street) - where is it stored? + Doctors offices / Clinics + Neighbors (apartment/condo next door)

So with that said, you don't have too re-treat if you don't want too. But I would hate to have you get rid of your bed bug infestation. Then have it come back 30 days later.

Green Bean Buddy, Page 6

So I would just recommend considering a re-treatment cycle that works for you and your family. Below is our recommendations using Green Bean Buddy.

Recommended Re-Treatment Cycle - Since most infestations are larger than expected. Its recommended to do the following: + 1st Week: Daily treatments around entire bedroom & home + 2nd Week: 3 treatments spread evenly through out week + 3rd Week: 2 treatments spread evenly through out week + 4th Week: 1 or 2 treatments spread evenly through out week + 5th Week: Re-treatment every 30 days is recommend for prevention

What To Look For On Your Mattress:

Fecal Matter On Your Mattress: You want to be aware if there any dark spots on your mattress. This is usually the excrement of the bed bug after it has been feeding on you or your family members.

Also, there is dark black spots/stains when people roll over on these bed bugs. This causes the bed bug to explode and pasting blood stains your mattress.

Look for Bed Bugs In Seam of Mattress: A common hiding location for bed bugs is found in your seam of mattress. This is also a first location one does when sleeping in hotels or guest houses.
