Our Complete Bed Bug Control experts preferred method of bed bug control is heat. Heat treatments eliminate bed bugs in all stages including the hard to eliminate eggs in just one visit, compared to three or more visits with insecticides and taking 2 or more months time to completely exterminate the bugs and their eggs. The home and its affected areas are heated to 135 degrees that is 15 degrees hotter than required to kill bed bugs in all life cycles. We utilize an unmarked Temp Air thermal remediation trailer with diesel generator and electric heaters complete with computerized monitoring equipment to ensure every area of the home is heated and held at that temp for the proper time.
