Why Use Heat To Kill Bed Bugs

Do You have a bedbug infestation? Bed bugs can be very difficult to remove. here at Allpest Pest Control we have years of experience in eradicating bed bugs and can get rid of yours as well. One of the most efficient ways to treat the problem is with thermal heat treatments. this technology is highly effective and will kill all stages of bedbugs. what we do is raise the temperature of the interior of the structure to a minimum of 125 degrees Fahrenheit. This treatment is good for customers who would like remediation of bedbugs with very little prep work. this treatment also allows the customer to keep most any and all of their furniture items including mattresses and boxsprings.   

Why Should I Use Heat To Kill Bedbugs
The secret to eliminating all stages of bedbugs is applying minimum heat of 125 degrees. While residential washers and dryers provide heat for killing bed bugs on clothing and bedding, it used to be impossible to apply that level of heat to mattresses and baseboards. Now, heat treatments allow your entire home to be safely treated with very high heat, including hard to reach areas where the pests might be hiding. such as in wall voids, under carpeting, etc. While it is safe for your belongings, such intense temperatures can be dangerous for untrained individuals. Our professional Technicians understand the dangers involved, and have undergone the appropriate training to safely handle the heating equipment.
