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.

Using chemicals are widely practicing for bed bugs because its an easier solution that can be upsold compared to other pests. However, it’s very difficult to eliminate an entire bed bug infestation because the spray cannot get into the tight areas bed bugs hide. They are extremely thin and can actually hide in the pages of a book. For this reason we do not offer chemical sprays. We only offer heat treatments to eliminate every bed bug so they have no opportunity to reproduce. There is a higher upfront cost for a heat treatment but is actually cheaper in the long run by not having to do multiple visits like chemical sprays. A confident heat treatment company would offer a guarantee for the heat treatment so they will come back for free if you still have bed bugs.
