Heat Treatment

Bedbugs are insects that, as adults, have oval-shaped bodies with no wings. Prior to feeding, they are about 1/4 inch long and flat as paper. After feeding, they turn dark red and become bloated. Eggs are whitish, pear-shaped, and about the size of a pinhead. Clusters of 10-50 eggs can be found in cracks and crevices. Bedbugs have a one-year life span during which time a female can lay 200-400 eggs depending on food supply and temperature. Eggs hatch in about 10 days.

Bed bugs are a challenging and potentially costly problem to solve. Outlined below are key things to keep in mind when preparing for bed bug extermination:

• The average bed bug inspection and removal will require 2-3 rounds of heat treatment.
• All items in the room must be treated, including mattresses, bedding, furniture, electronics, etc.
• Remove all items from dressers and bedside tables. Drawers should be left open during the treatment.
• Clothing and other items should be removed from closets.

• Any pet bedding or toys should be removed from the area.

By following these simple steps, you can ensure that bed bug removal is effective and minimizes any potential damage to your belongings.

• Although even the cleanest homes and hotels can have bed bug eggs, regular house cleaning, including vacuuming your mattress, can help to prevent an infestation. Clean up clutter to help reduce the number of places bed bugs can hide.
• Be careful when buying used furniture or clothes. Make sure to inspect the used item and detect bed bugs in the first place, and feel free to ask the retailer if the items were checked for bed bugs.
• Use caution when bringing home used furniture or clothes from the curbside. These items may be infested with bed bugs.

• Inspect the room and furniture: inspect all cracks and crevices of the mattress and box spring, and look for blood spots or live insects. Request a different room if you find evidence of bed bugs or even bed bug bites on your body.
• Protect your luggage: keep all belongings in your luggage and wrap your luggage in plastic to help prevent bed bugs from entering your luggage. Keep luggage on the shelf or away from the floor.
• Protect the bed: move the bed away from the wall, tuck in all bed sheets and keep blankets from touching the floor.
• Upon returning home: keep your luggage in an isolated area of your home, such as the garage. Inspect the luggage. Wash all your clothes in the hottest water possible and put them in a hot dryer for 45 minutes.
