Heat Remediation

Bed bug heat treatment through Bed Bug Solutions, and its parent company Stafford Environmental Services, have always been innovators in the eco-friendly field of Integrated Pest Control Management. As one of the first companies to experiment with heat as a successful alternative to fumigation treatment for dry wood termites in the 1990’s, and now with great success we’ve brought this solution to the fight against bed bugs.

While chemical pesticides are a necessary option with any bed bug extermination system, there are other less intrusive options that can be included.

Heat exterminates bed bugs and the eggs they leave behind without harming the environment. Since heat can be effective in a single bed bug treatment, it can be more cost effective than chemical-only alternatives which can often require replacement of bedding and even mattresses.

Heat treatment remediation has proven to be the most effective method that will exterminate bed bugs in all life cycles – eggs, larvae, nymphs and adult. Adults and nymphs die within 15 minutes at temperatures greater than 113ºF, while it can take up to 60 minutes to kill eggs. Raising room temperatures above the thermal death point and maintaining that temperature for several hours has the highest probability of extermination for the entire bed bug infestation and reducing the chance of re-infestation.
