Heat treatment

Unlike chemical treatments, heat treatment penetrates furniture, mattresses and other areas where bed bugs hide. This allows the treatment to reach insects that may be hidden deep within cracks and crevices.

Because heat affects all life stages of the insect, infestations can often be eliminated in a single treatment.

Specialist heating equipment is used to gradually raise the temperature within the treatment area to levels that are lethal to bed bugs.

Air circulation equipment ensures that heat is distributed evenly throughout the room so that furniture, bedding and hidden spaces reach the required temperature.

Throughout the process temperatures are carefully monitored to ensure effective treatment while protecting the property and its contents.

Heat treatment is commonly used in situations where:

• Infestations have been confirmed through inspection
• Rapid elimination of bed bugs is required
• Chemical treatments are unsuitable
• Infestations have spread across multiple areas

• Kills bed bug at all stages of their life cycle
• Chemical-free treatment option
• Often completed in a single treatment
• Penetrates areas sprays cannot reach
• Allows faster return of rooms to service
