Bed Bug Heat Treatments
Thermal remediation is the most effective and greenest way to eliminate bed bugs. We're proud to be one of the first in Washington and Oregon to offer Heat Treatments as a solution to bed bugs.
The scientific principle behind Bed Bug Heat Treatments is simple but proven; raise the temperature of an infested area to 120 degrees to kill all life stages of bed bugs. Within a single 6-8 hour treatment, rooms can return to normal use, free of live bed bugs.
Benefits of Heat Treatments
- Kills all life stages of bed bugs - adults, nymphs, and eggs – with one treatment
- Non-chemical, non-toxic approach penetrates wall cavities, mattresses and other hard to reach areas. Heat can be used alone or augmented with natural and organic insecticidal dusts applied to wall voids, under baseboards and other crevices conducive to bed bug activity
- One day treatment process
- No odor
- Minimal preparations and no move out (Note: no access during heat treatment.)
Bed Bug Heat Treatment Services are ideal for:
- Apartments
- Condominiums
- Hotel Rooms
- Dormitories
- Assisted Living Facilities
- Office Buildings
- Shelters
- Affordable Housing
How does it work?
Once heat-sensitive items are removed from the room, trained and certified service teams use specially designed heaters, high-powered fans and ducting to direct air flow to designated treatment areas. Clean, dry, odorless heat is used to create an environment lethal to bed bugs. Inside temperatures are monitored using digital equipment and temperature sensors to ensure temperature is maintained at levels that are lethal to bed bugs.
Canine Confirmed
Within 48 hours after a Heat Treatment is performed, treated areas are inspected by our certified Bed Bug Canine to confirm the heat treatment's success. Learn more about our Bed Bug Dog services by clicking HERE.
