NYC Heat Treatment: Effective Bedbug Elimination
December 14, 2010 at 5:50 PM
The type of heat treatment I am going to be discussing with you is a 100% proven bedbug extermination technique that also happens to be 100% GREEN. This method is cost-effective, allows you to return to your home that same night, and allows you to hold on to your prized belongings and furniture.
How does heat treatment work?
Good question but DO NOT try this at home! Licensed technicians and professionals use specialized equipment to heat the infested area to a thermal death point over 125 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not attempt to raise temperatures in your home to this degree. It can be very dangerous if not done with the appropriate equipment. The treatment may vary from eight to twelve hours depending on the size of the area being treated. But you haven’t heard the best part, the heat permeates all areas of the home including furniture, cracks, and crevices; therefore, ensuring that no bedbugs can escape from your path. Upon inspection your licensed professional will be able to provide you with a list of heat sensitive materials that should be removed from the room prior to treatment. Another advantage of using environmental-friendly heat treatment techniques, as opposed to chemical treatment, is that you do not have to throw out your furniture and mattresses. Both you and your furniture are safe from harm.
One of the most frequently asked questions is, “will they come back?” Re-infestation is a huge problem with bedbugs due to their hitchhiking habits and rapid reproduction. Luckily companies using heat treatments will often guarantee that re-infestation will not occur. However, be informed that heat treatment companies cannot ensure that bedbugs will not be brought back onto the premises by the original or an alternate source. They will likely provide you with information on locating the source of the problem, therefore helping prevent re-infestation.
