eliminate bed bugs forever with one treatment

Eliminate bed bugs with only one treatment, guaranteed!

HAVE YOU TRIED CHEMICAL TREATMENTS & STILL HAVE BED BUGS? Let us heat treat your home or office & eliminate all stages of bed bug & their eggs with only one treatment! Thermal Remediation® is a safe non-chemical process and therefore is the practical solution for people with chemical sensitivities. It is ideal for treating health care facilities, hospitals, resorts, retirement homes, daycares and schools where chemicals are not an option.

Those who have experienced bed bugs know how difficult they are to control and eliminate. What they may not realize, however, is that the chemicals they are using typically make the bed bug infestation much more difficult to control and are likely causing them to spread making elimination costs more expensive! Since Heat treatment can be effective in a single treatment, it can be more cost effective than chemical alternatives which can often require replacement of bedding, furniture, mattresses & multiple treatments.

First the Scientific data on pesticide treatment & heat treatment that cannot be ignored:

Using Pesticides – 6% of the time bed bugs & eggs eliminated with one treatment

Using Heat treatment – 97% of the time bed bugs & eggs eliminated with one treatment

Common problems using chemicals for bed bug control:

Bed bug resistance – many bed bugs have grown resistant to the chemicals in use today, and if even a small number of the bed bugs in your establishment are resistant you will not kill them, then the resistant bed bugs that survive the initial treatment will then mate and their offspring will inherit that same resistance making future treatments completely ineffective! This has been a common trend with the pesticides use. Recent research has shown that some bed bugs can survive more than 1,000 times the amount of pesticide considered lethal just 10 years ago.

Bed bugs can hide in unreachable locations– bed bugs typically hide in small protected areas that may be impossible to reach or spray with chemicals. They can hide in the smallest of cracks in beds, walls, baseboards, electrical outlets, furniture, and even within box springs and electronic devices (TV’s, VCR’s, computers etc.). Contacting these hiding bed bugs may be impossible, not to mention spraying chemicals on these items may be unsafe and illegal!

Chemicals cause bed bugs to scatter and spread– unless the chemicals are sprayed directly on the bed bugs they will seldom kill them. Even when sprayed directly, the “resistant” bed bugs will not die and may cause bigger problems as described above. Bedbugs are known to be sensitive to the “residuals” of chemicals and pesticides and avoid them. Therefore, by spraying chemicals around the perimeter of an infected area, it will not usually kill them but instead will make them scatter and hide deeper in cracks and crevices until the residues wear off! Since bed bugs can live up to a year without feeding, they will survive long enough to simply return when it is safe to do so. Worse yet, those bed bugs will likely begin searching for new places to feed and will spread to the bedroom across the hallway or even go next door. As you can see, by spraying chemicals, a localized infestation in a bedroom may be spread across a wide area causing bigger problems (localized infestations are MUCH easier to treat).

Chemicals do not kill bed bug eggs and require MULTIPLE treatments – Since an infested area is sure to have eggs, a chemical “treatment” is always going to require multiple treatments! Bed bug eggs typically hatch every 5 to 16 days (depending on conditions) and those baby “nymphs” will avoid the chemical residuals just like the adults will. Therefore, the newly hatched nymphs will seek shelter and be unreachable by time the next chemical treatment is performed. The multiple treatments needed to “break the cycle” is usually ineffective and can become quite expensive and inconvenient, dragging out for weeks or even months.

Items may need to be discarded– many people have been told to throw away beds, furniture, and other infected items due to the ineffectiveness of using chemicals. These losses add to the costs of chemical treatments that you can see are not likely to be effective anyways.

Chemical treatment preparation – Chemical treatments often require a lot of preparation time by the home owner and is a highly invasive process. In order to contact as many bed bugs as possible, the exterminator will need access to nearly every inch of your bed, dressers, nightstands, and other items to allow spraying access to every possible hiding place. This may require removing many items from their stored locations etc.

Chemicals are Toxic– The need for repeated chemical treatments required can cause a cumulative effect of residual pesticides to build up. Although these chemicals may be deemed safe, do you want restricted use chemicals in your bedroom and home? Also chemicals used in pesticides may pose health threats to people and pets. The Environmental Protection Agency recognizes the following side effects of pesticide exposure: skin and eye irritation, nerve damage, disruption of the endocrine system and even cancers. It’s also common for sprayed pesticides to end up in the air, soil, or water, where they pose environmental threats.

Why HEAT Works Better Than Chemicals to kill bed bugs

Heat can kill all stages of bed bugs with ONE treatment– No bed bugs are resistant to heat and temperatures above 120 degrees will kill all stages of bed bugs & their eggs.

Heat can penetrate walls and other unreachable places– when done properly, the extreme heat used to kill bed bugs can be forced into mattresses, box springs, furniture, and even walls to kill the bed bugs where ever they may be hiding! And since bed bugs are attracted to heat, they are less likely to scatter during the treatment and are actually seen leaving hiding spots and moving towards the heat!

No items need to be discarded– The heat can penetrate and treat nearly all items in your home and there is no need to discard of expensive beds, furniture, electronics, or anything else that was infected prior to treatment.

Relatively simple pre-treatment preparation – Since the heat will penetrate most items using forced air from fans, the pest control personnel will not need as much access as would typically be needed to do a chemical spray treatment.

Heat Treatment is non toxic– The heat treatment does not require any toxic chemicals and the high heat kills off allergens and pathogens as well.
