Why Use Heat?
Heat treatments are a popular, environmentally friendly alternative to using chemicals to eliminate bed bug infestations. There is abundant scientific evidence that bed bugs are becoming increasingly resistant to chemicals but are physically not capable of surviving elevated ambient (above 122°F) temperatures. Heat treatments are the only way to ensure all stages of bed bug life (eggs, nymphs and adults) have been killed in a single treatment.
Exterminate Bed Bugs With Heat Treatment In Etobicoke
Bed bug heat treatments have been proven to be the best way to kill bed bugs in your home or space. Conventional pest control methods for bed bugs such as chemical treatments have been proven to be ineffective and don’t eliminate all of the bed bugs in an infestation, which is critical. If the bed bugs are not all killed at once, they will reproduce very quickly making every treat except a heat treatment largely ineffective. Heat treatments are eco-friendly and work by raising the ambient temperature of the affected area to lethal levels for bed bugs.
Heat treatments eliminate bed bugs at every stage of their life cycle, unlike other extermination methods. The heat treatment process does require a few preparation steps but almost always eliminates the entire bed bug infestation within one session. With us, if for some reason we don’t kill every bed bug with the first session we will come back for free. It does not happen often where live bed bugs are still present after our heat treatment.
Get Rid Of Bed Bugs In One Session
Before the heat treatment, you might be worried about some of the items that you think might not be able to withstand the high temperature. Speak to our bed bug exterminator if you’re unsure and they’ll let you know. We will also make you a personalized preparation package before the treatment to help you prepare your space for the treatment. It is important not to remove unsanitary items from the home. If you have an affected mattress, the best thing to do is to leave it where it is.Â
Leaving untreated clothing in drawers will prevent bed bugs from moving and spreading to other areas of your space. What you can do is bag the untreated clothes, throw them in the dryer, and then double bag them tied up so you know your clothes are safe from bed bugs. This also saves us from moving around all your clothes to avoid any cold spots. Unlike other treatment methods you won’t have to get rid of your furniture once the treatment is complete.
After the heat treatment, you should document any live bed bug sightings in the very unlikely chance there are remaining bed bugs. It’s also important to figure out where you might have gotten the bed bugs from. For instance, you should keep an ear out if any co workers have gotten bed bugs or look on the internet if there have been bed bug infestations in your area. Bed bugs can be anywhere you go and latch onto you. Remember that bed bugs can easily re-infest your space even after a heat treatment. It makes it hard on us when you are bringing bed bugs back to living space when our heat treatment has already killed every bed bug.
