5 Reasons Heat is More Effective than Chemical
- Bed bugs have become more resistant to chemicals – some
research shows that certain bed bugs can survive a dose of
chemicals that is 1,000 times higher than what was lethal
just 10 years ago. - Chemicals can’t always reach all bed bugs – bed bugs like
to hide in areas that may be impossible to spray with
chemicals. From cracks in your bed to your walls,
baseboards, electrical outlets, and furniture – our
heat system not only reaches temperatures that are lethal
to bed bugs, but also gets into their favorite hiding spots. - Only heat kills bed bugs, their eggs and larvae in just one
treatment – most chemicals require more than one
treatment in your home. Since the chemicals don’t kill the
eggs, you often have to wait until the “next generation” of
bed bugs hatches and then re-treat them. - Chemicals are Toxic! – Anytime you bring chemicals into
your home, your family is exposed to them. Heat is not only
safer for your family (pets included!), you’ll also be able to
get back into your home quicker because you won’t have to
wait the required re-entry time while the chemical dries. - Odor Elimination – An added benefit of Heat Treatment is
elimination of household odors. IE. cooking, pet, smoke,
musty smells etc. The high temperatures used for bed bug
eradication will de-nature odiferous molecules leaving a
fresh scent to your home.
