Moving and Protecting your belongings from Bugs

When it comes to protecting
your things during a move, odds are that you're thinking mostly of how to pack
your things and how to wrap your furniture to avoid physical damage during
transport. However, potential damage isn't the only thing you'll want to protect
your belongings from when moving in Wellington - you'll also want to protect
your things against bugs.

Protecting
Against Bugs When Packing

The last thing you'll want is
for your belongings to be infested by bugs prior to the move or during the course
of the move. If this happens, then you're basically helping bugs spread to your
new home. The following are a few tips to help you protect against bugs while
moving in Wellington:

• - The
      best way to ensure that you don't end up using moving boxes that have bugs
      in them is to purchase them new.
  
• - Carefully tape the corners
      and seams of your boxes. This will help keep bugs from finding their way
      in.
  
• - Wrap your upholstered furniture
      and bed in bed and sofa bags and make sure that they are tightly sealed.
      This will help prevent any bugs from latching on during the move. You can
      also use plastic wrapping for larger furniture.
  
• - Instead of packing your sheets,
      towels, blankets and clothes in cardboard boxes, pack them in sealable
      space bags. Not only will they take up less space, it will prevent bugs
      from getting in.
  

Protecting
Against Bugs When Unpacking

If any bugs have managed to
get into your furniture or household items, then you'll want to make sure that
they don't spread throughout your new home when you unpack. The following are a
few tips for unpacking that will help prevent the spread of bugs:

• - Unroll
      your rugs right away and vacuum them just in case there are bugs present.
      If you want to be certain that they are bug-free, get them professionally
      cleaned.
  
• - If any of your belongs have
      been wrapped in plastic, remove the plastic outdoors if possible. If it's
      not possible, seal your plastic wrapping in garbage bags as soon as you
      remove it from your belongings.
  
• - Once you've unpacked your
      boxes, break them down immediately. If you can't remove them right away,
      place them on a hard surface and not on your furniture.
