Why is heat better than traditional bed bug treatments?

Heat treatments are the non-chemical and non-toxic alternative to dangerous extermination chemicals.  After a heat treatment the treated areas are safe for you, your family and your pets to re-enter.  There is no need for concern about allergic reactions or damaged health from toxic fumes.  Heat treatments are only applied to the affected areas and is able to penetrate walls, furniture, mattresses and other hard to reach areas.  As soon as the room cools it is safe to re-enter!

Another benefit of heat treatments is its ability to kill bed bugs at any stage of their life cycle.  Bed bugs in their nymph or inside their eggs are very difficult to kill using traditional methods due to their small size and protective measures.  Not all pesticides kill the bed bug eggs, leaving behind a brand new infestation just waiting to hatch.  With heat treatments all the bugs, even the small and unhatched bed bugs are killed.
