Heat Treatment of bed bugs is effective because of temperature, time, humidity and inspection:
Heat is an effective way to control bed bug infestations. All insects have optimum living temperatures for growth, survival and reproduction. All insects also have lethal temperature limits, at which all stages of the life cycle are killed. By targeting temperatures in the lethal range, the bed bug population can be eliminated.
Treatment time is an important factor for effectiveness in treating bed bug infestations with heat. Treatment time varies based on factors such as clutter, structure, layout of the space, severity of the infestation and airflow management.
Heat kills by dehydrating or drying the insects out. The high heat/low humidity atmosphere causes insects to die due to lack of moisture. The lower the humidity of the heated space, the quicker the insects will die.
Thorough inspections are a vital step in the bed bug elimination process. This includes not only the infested room, but adjoining rooms as well, as bed bugs are excellent travelers. This allows Certified Pest Control to pinpoint exactly where there are areas of insect activity and to target heat directly to those areas.
