## How it works

US EPA, Do-it-yourself Bed Bug Control, fetched 2026-11-10, recommends continued inspection, including interceptor checks where applicable, at least every 7 days in case eggs remain: https://www.epa.gov/bedbugs/do-it-yourself-bed-bug-control

Each reminder adds the sourced 7-day interval to the previous date. This gives a short sequence, not an end date for monitoring. EPA also recommends checking for at least a year after the work is done. Ask your company how to continue the record.

EPA also advises checking for evidence every few days after initial cleanup. A weekly reminder does not replace those earlier checks, a professional follow-up plan or product directions.

No universal retreatment interval is calculated. EPA explains that pesticide labels define where, how much and how often a pesticide may be used. US EPA, Introduction to Pesticide Labels, fetched 2026-11-10: https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-labels/introduction-pesticide-labels

> For bed bug monitoring only. Not a pesticide application schedule or proof that an infestation has ended. Follow the company plan, local requirements and actual product label.

## Questions

### Should I apply pesticide on these dates?

No. These dates are for inspection and recording findings. Ask the company about treatment timing and follow the actual product label.

### What if I find new evidence before the reminder?

Record its location and date and contact the company. Do not wait for a reminder to report it.

### Can this schedule termite or rodent treatment?

No. It uses EPA bed bug monitoring guidance only. Request a written plan for other pests.
