Kansas Bed Bug Heat Treatment

Over the years there have been many different remedies to treat bed bug infestations. There are powders, foggers, and many other hard chemicals you can pick up at your local retail store to try and remedy your problem. Exterminators will make all kinds of promises to fix your infestation using alternative methods. However, do not fall for it. When it comes to wiping out bed bugs the first time, nothing is as guaranteed as a Kansas Bed Bug heat treatment.

How Does It Work?

Bed bugs by nature are very adaptable little insects. They can grow immune to chemicals designed to kill them. Because they can survive so long without a meal, you also cannot starve them out. These creatures will hide in your vents, your walls, and other places they cannot be seen. Which makes their name very deceptive. If you want to kill your entire infestation in one go, you need to use heat.

Our commercial grade heaters are designed to raise and maintain the temperature of your home or business above 135 degrees. This heat will penetrate walls and surfaces where bed bugs tend to hide, killing them and their eggs the first time. There is no where that bed bugs can run to escape the heat.

Where Do Bed Bugs Come From?

Bed bugs are hitchhikers. Meaning you can pick them up anywhere. The most common places are hotels and joined living spaces like nursing homes. The reason bed bugs prefer these places is because of what they eat, blood. There is plenty to eat when there are plenty of people. They like to crawl into your luggage, bags, and clothing and wait for you to take them home. Then they spread. A bed bug infestation can grow in as little as 60 days. So once you have figured out that you have them, there may be hundreds more. Be sure to always inspect your belongings after a trip to make sure you didn’t bring any back with you.
