Tip ~ maximize your results.

You've completed your heat treatment. Now what?

Leave the space closed to retain as much heat as possible. This allows the heat treatment to continue to work even after the heater and fans are removed. Bonus, it's also gentler on the structure of your home to cool slowly.

Rewarding job - John and Meridyth just returned our heaters after battling bedbugs for a couple years. This beautiful couple had taken a cruise and brought home some very unwelcome house guests. Pest control had sprayed, they'd thrown out beds and furniture, after 53 years of marriage, John's sleeping on an air mattress on the floor and Meridyth in a recliner near by, both still receiving bites. After treating with heat, Meridyth says, "I feel free. I know it sounds crazy, but as I sat in my recliner, I just felt free."

She's subscribed to our inexpensive guarantee plan so if one happened to be protected from her initial treatment, she'll have access to one of our units and two fans at no additional charge. Meridyth, after over eighty years of life, we're happy to have played a small part in bringing you peace of mind.

Thanks for being our customer,

Fact: Bed bugs are easier to treat the less you do to disturb them. Bed bugs are immune to many chemicals marketed to kill them and will move from easy to heat areas like furniture and mattresses to hard to treat areas like walls and outlets when disturbed by sprays.

Strategy: Meridyth rented our Pro8 package and moved it from room to room in her home over a period of multiple days. She hung blankets in doorways without door's too section off rooms like the den.

Renting one package over multiple days is an effective strategy and can be less intimidating than renting multiple packages and treating for a shorter duration.

If moving to a new home and bedbugs are already present, likely this home has been treated with chemicals. Bedbugs are immune to most chemicals marketed to kill them. A bedbug will live in one place, often on a mattress. They'll mark that spot with a pheromone feed and return to the same spot. A female will lay 1-5 eggs daily. Over time the colony is made up of varying ages and developmental stages of bedbugs all living in the same spot. When chemicals are used, the members flee and spread to different areas, often taking refuge in the walls via the outlets and fixtures. Once in the walls they become more difficult to treat.

If I were moving in, I'd find a heater rental. I'd empty and dispose if all moving boxes, cardboard insulates and protects from heat. If they're in the walls, you'll need to heat long enough to have the heat pe*****te to their colony in the walls. Heat kills 100% if you get to kill temperature where they are. They won't flee and once it's cool, it's safe for your family.

Think of the home like a baked potato. A potato has mass and your home has mass. If you put a potato in the oven at 500 degrees, it would burn on the outside and be raw and cold on the inside. Instead, you bake the potato at a lower temperature for longer. It's the same with your home heat at a lower temperature for a longer duration. Three different studies I'll site. One says all stages of bedbugs, including eggs, die when 113 degree temperature is held for sixty minutes. Another says two degrees hotter, 115 degrees, all stages are dead in seven minutes. The third says they've been known to live up to 122 degrees.

Preheat your home by setting the thermostat as high as possible.

One strategy, rent one heater for an extended time, moving from room to room and back, bumping up and maintaining kill temperatures in each room allowing time for heat to pe*****te and reach deep into the walls and structure.

A second strategy, same principle, rent multiple heaters (based on the electrical capacity) and do the same thing.

Use sticky traps to determine if any area needs hit again.
