Using Heat to Eradicate Bed Bugs

A simple process with dramatic results.

Non-toxic thermal pest control treatment works by raising the temperatures of an affected area to a level that is proven to kill Bed Bugs and other insects.

Temperature probes accurately monitor and maintain the required temperature for anywhere from 1-12 hours, depending on the situation. Powerful blowers such as the grey and blue devices you see above help to circulate air throughout the room(s) infested with bed bugs, making sure the surface temperature of everything within the area being serviced is consistent and effective.

The HeatBedBug’s Extermination technique is deceivingly simple at first glance. Bed Bugs die at temperatures around 120 degrees Fahrenheit if exposed to those temperatures for an adequate length of time. In the face of the Nashville summers, this doesn’t seem like much, given the temperatures the inside of a car can see on a hot summer day. However, humans like to keep their homes air-conditioned, and Bed Bugs thrive at the temperatures we most enjoy ourselves – 72 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. To raise the temperature of a house to the temperatures required to kill bed bugs requires specialized equipment – Propane or Electric heaters, ducting, and electric blowers to ensure every surface of the home reaches temperatures sufficient to kill Bed Bugs without pesticides or toxic chemicals.
