Why Heat Treatment?What makesour approach to bed bug control different, we use Heat Treatment. Chemicals, powders, freezing, etc only work if the bed bugs are directly contacted. That's why most other methods fail. It is virtually impossible to find every single bed bug, not to mention - every single egg. Most chemicals won't kill eggs even if they are contacted. Back before I used heat treatment it would take me up to 3 retreats to get rid of all the bed bugs and these treatments would be spaced out over a month or more.That's up to a month and a half before my customers could get relief. Even with my steam heater I was not getting a lot of success. The steam could only kill the eggs I could find them and many times the pressure from the steamer would send the bed bugs flying to the other side of the room where they would just walk away. That's why I am now offering heat treatment. I was getting sick and tired of spending 4 and 5 hours doing chemical treatments only to get a call back from an angry customer. Heat treatment works because the heat penetrates everywhere. Chemicals, powders, freezing, etc. only work when you actually contact the bed bugs and most do NOTHING about the eggs. It is impossible to find every egg and every bed bug, which is why all other treatment types fail miserably and why it takes so many retreats to even begin to get control. At 125°F all stages of bed bugs and their eggs die in under a minute. I usually achieve 100% eradication in the first heat treatment. Don't take it from me. Just Google bed bug heat treatment and see for yourself. More information on Bed Bug Control. Free Bedbug InspectionCall 443-562-9509 today for your free bedbug inspection.

I attended the University of Maryland and graduated with a BS in zoology and science education. Animals have always been my first love. Upon graduation I taught life science at the Jemicey School in Owings mills. I left Jemicey to start a business called Safari Party. For nearly 14 years I brought live exotic animals to schools and birthday parties. Although it was a great concept and kids loved it, it was not the best way to make a living. |
Bedbugs are exploding on the scene with a vengeance. Worldwide there are 92 described species of bedbugs. The two species most common in Maryland are the common bedbug and the eastern bat bug. Female bedbugs are round while males are more oval shaped. A female bed bug lays 200 to 500 eggs in her life time (about 5 eggs a day). It is now recognized that thermal remediation is the most effective way to kill bed bugs. At 125 degrees Fahrenheit BED BUGS AND THEIR EGGS DIE IN UNDER A MINUTE.
