- Kills every life stage from egg to adult.
- Unlike chemicals bed bugs are attracted to heat -
they won't simply move to re-infest another day.
- Heat treatment works where chemicals fail.
No toxic fumes, no residue.
- No preparation needed.
- Infested items will not need to be thrown away.
- Our trucks are discrete and the process is completed
in one working day.
Heat treatment is a proven non-chemical method of killing bed bugs. All life stages (adult, larva, and eggs) die within minutes at a temperature of 120°F. Using electric heaters powered by a trailer-mounted diesel generator, heat treatment introduces temperatures greater than 120°F (lethal temperature) and less than 140°F (content damaging temperature).
During the heat treatment we will monitor temperatures in real-time, with wireless sensors placed in treated areas, to ensure lethal temperatures are reached throughout the area and its contents. High temperature blowers are positioned to move the heated air throughout the spaceĀ - through mattresses, baseboards, cracks and crevices.
Depending on room furnishings, floor surfaces, clutter and square footage, the treatment will take between 7 and 12 hours.
