HEAT TREATMENTS FOR BED BUGS

Stevenage, Hertfordshire

BED BUG HEAT TREATMENT COVERING STEVENAGE, HITCHIN, LETCHWORTH AND SURROUNDING AREAS

Bed bug heat treatment is the most effective and fastest way to remove small or large bed bug infestation from your home.

Typically done with one treatment and also can be done without spraying your home with chemical insecticides that may only have slight effect on the bed bugs as they have built up resistance to chemicals.

Heat treatments work by heating the whole room or multiple rooms slowly to 141 Fahrenheit. (ca. 61 degree Celsius) or above with all the contents in that bed bugs may be hiding in such as beds , books , clothes , cuppboars , boxes etc.. and circulating the heated air around the room know as aggressive air circulation with industrial sized fans and stabilizing the heat at 141 Fahrenheit for a period of time or above to ensure the heat will penetrate into the areas killing off all stages of life from eggs, nymphs, adults by dehydration caused from the long exposure from the heat.

We then have to rearrange and move some items around while its still heating to make sure there is no cold spots the bed bugs or their egg’s could be.

We use two different types of machines that are designed for heat treatments the first being large indirect diesel machine’s so the fumes stay out side and only the heated air is allowed into the property commonly used for house heat treatments.

The second is electric type run machine’s that runs off 4 plugs sockets inside the room that requires to be heated most commonly used in flats 

We are so certain our heat treatment’s work so well we give 6-months guarantee on them.

If you are unsure if a heat treatment is going to be the correct treatment for you or you do require more information get in touch with our friendly heat treatment team will talk to you about any questions you many have.
