FAQ

  • Answer:

    All insects have a thermal death point, but their behavior during the heat treatment process will vary. You may experience some additional pests that are also controlled as a result, but Bed Bugs are the main focus of our heat treatment process.

  • Answer:

    Not when using our Heat Remediation system. All electronics have a storage temperature and an operational temperature. Storage temperatures typically allow electronics to be subject to up to 149°F. Our heaters are closely monitored not to exceed temperatures of 140ºF. All electronic equipment within the space should be unplugged during a heat treatment.

  • Answer:

    Typically furniture and personal belongings do not need to be disposed of, except in some rare cases with extremely high levels of infestation.

  • Answer:

    We highly discourage homeowners from trying to do this themselves. Research shows that temperatures of 120°F and higher need to be achieved for 100% mortality of the bed bug’s full life cycle.

  • Answer:

    Treatment times will vary depending on the size and construction of the structure, the level of infestation, the type of contents, etc. We have found the average time to treat a typical home to be 8-10 hours from set up to tear down.

  • Answer:

    Bed bugs are attracted to body heat 98.6 F. In a similar fashion, it is our experience that bed bugs emerge from hiding and are attracted to the heat from the heaters rather than seeking routes to escape, when the temperature is raised in a controlled manner.

  • Answer:

    The Heat Remediation kill zone is between 120-135º F. Our electric bed bug heaters are closely monitored not to exceed 140°F air temperature in the area being treated. Exceeding those temperatures may result in damage to the structure and its contents.
