Kinds of Sprayers 



Select a sprayer that can be adjusted 

 to produce either coarse particles or a 

 mist. The mist is needed when you 

 spray mattresses and upholstered furni- 

 ture; the coarse particles are needed for 

 all other parts of the spraying job. 



If only one or two rooms are to be 

 treated, the job can be done with a 1- 

 or 2-quart hand sprayer that delivers a

 the object or surface being sprayed; this 

 is necessary because the sprayer operates 

 under low pressure.

If You Need the Services of a Pest-Control Operator . . . 



Bed bugs in hotels, apartments, and other multiple-type dwelling places 

 may spread quickly from one unit to another. If they are found in one unit, 

 the owner or manager of the building should have all the units inspected, 

 and should arrange for control of any infestations revealed by the inspection. 



As a rule, commercial pest-control operators are best qualified to inspect 

 multiple-type dwelling places and to control infestations in them. Also, it 

 is often advantageous to call in a pest-control operator to eliminate heavy 

 general infestations in private homes. 



After an infestation is under control, it may be advisable to have the pest- 

 control operator check at regular intervals. In this way new infestations may 

 be detected and eliminated before they spread.
