If its in garage I'd bag and fog it, let percolate couple days

Then clean with no guarantee of pest control (unless you've got your ticket?)

If you haven't done any pest control work get a pest control company to hit it and sign off on it, then its a basic clean with responsibility deferred.. tyvek up!

x590 is the one that has an insecticide component "effectively reducing and controlling" is my phrase, my pest control ticket has expired and I therefore make no claims of eradication

Heat will kill them. Exterminators raise the temp over 120 for a length of time, allow it to cool off so any surviving critters will come out. Then they hit it with the heat again.

Personally it wouldn't be worth screwing with for you or him. :errf:
Just haul it into the sauna room in your house.... that way, you got a comfortable place to sit..... AND, get work done at the same time.... multitasking....

late winter/early spring is the worst time of the year for most BDs
the abundant larder stored from the Fall harvest gets heavily depleted during the long slow winter.
Can't eat the seed corn and taters , cause you need 'em for plantin' in a month

some BD will do it for $49.99

as mentioned, heat is effective

tell him to put in his bathroom with 3 space heaters for the night.....

They're less likely to stow away than fleas but also harder to get rid of

Thats why I'd bag, fog and wear disposables while doing it for 1st visit.
