Bed Bugs

Hey BP,

My crew is in the middle of demo-ing of an apartment building which we are turning into luxury units, and found TONS of bed bugs. There are literally colonies of bed bugs spread throughout the entire place, mostly under the molding.  I am wondering if anyone knows of a good strategy for making sure they don't come back after we finish construction.  

We will be removing any wall, wood, flooring, insulation, etc, that shows signs of bugs.  Would it make sense to bring in the dogs to sniff them out before putting up walls?   We are also going to try to leave the building winterized this winter so if it gets cold enough we can freeze them out.  

Any info would be helpful.

Thanks,

Chris
