The Case: Bed Bug Infestation in Guitars
A recent case in Toronto highlighted the importance of this personalized approach when a client contacted us about a bedbug infestation in their collection of guitars. These guitars held deep sentimental and financial value to the client, and they were determined to save them. Disposing of these instruments or risking damage through standard treatments was not an option. This situation required a specialized plan that would eliminate the bed bugs without harming the guitars.
Problem: Hard to Reach Infestation Points
Upon inspection, we found that the bed bugs had settled inside the sound holes, under the fretboards, around the pickups, and along the seams, places that are difficult to access and clean. What made this case particularly challenging was the nature of the instruments themselves. Traditional bed bug treatments like chemical sprays or heat applications could have easily damaged the wood, warped the structure, ruined the finish and sound quality wouldn’t be the same. We needed a method that was thorough yet gentle, protecting the integrity of these instruments while resolving the infestation completely.
Solution: Gentle and Effective Mechanical Treatment
Our solution was a detailed mechanical treatment, carefully designed and executed. We began by gently disassembling removable parts of the guitars where it was safe to do so, allowing us better access to internal spaces. We then used high-precision HEPA-filter vacuums to extract live bed bugs and their eggs from the surfaces and cavities of the guitars. For hard-to-reach areas and fine seams, we employed soft micro-brushes that allowed us to clean without scratching or damaging the finish. As an added safeguard, we applied a very light dusting of diatomaceous earth in select safe zones, providing a long-lasting bed bug control without leaving behind harmful chemicals or residues. Throughout the process, we worked slowly and meticulously, ensuring the guitars were handled with the utmost care.
Outcome: Successful Treatment With Zero Damage
The outcome was a complete success. We were able to eliminate the bed bug infestation while preserving the guitars in perfect condition. The client was extremely relieved and grateful to have their instruments safe and usable again. As part of our follow-up, we provided recommendations for ongoing monitoring, including storing the guitars in sealed cases and inspecting regularly to prevent future issues. This case truly reflects how Pest Solution Services combines technical expertise, creative problem-solving, and respect for our clients’ most valued possessions.
