Heat Treatments

Heat is the most effective treatment for bed bugs. At 122 degrees, bed bugs – whether alive or as eggs – die. Chemical applications alone do not work- some form of heat or cold must be used to kill the eggs.

Heat TreatmentsWe highly recommend and chose heat, because bed bugs (and many other types of insects) have a natural ability for anti-freeze. If the cold or freezing is not positioned perfectly, the bed bug egg will survive, and two weeks later your bed bug problem will continue.

This is why All-American Pest Control offers a wide range of heat applications to ensure that your bed bug infestation is eliminated. For most situations, a pairing of steam and residual pesticides is the recommended approach in order to achieve elimination of your bed bugs. Heat chambers are able to get quick results as well, especially for large, over-sized couches and hotel room furniture. We also recommend heat fumigation, which is used to heat an entire home or apartment. Special monitors and fans – as well as trained professionals – are used to start, monitor, and ensure that the temperature of the entire living space reaches 135 degrees for two hours.

Heat is an essential component to any bed bug elimination program. Call or email us today for a bed bug consultation. We are just as committed to elimination as you are and will help you determine the very best treat approach for your home, apartment, hotel, or office building.
