Bed Bug Eradication

We Use a Thorough Bed Bug Heat Remediation Treatment

Bed bugs are a serious problem in the Sacramento area and beyond, inflicting home and business owners with tons of itchy, red bites. Without the right care, bed bugs can spread and reproduce quickly, making a big problem even worse. It doesn’t help that there are many misconceptions out there about these pesky pests.

Common Bed Bug Myths

Myth 1: Bed bugs are hard to see.

When first born, bed bugs are one millimeter long, translucent, light in color, and very difficult to find. As they age, they grow darker – adult bed bugs are reddish-brown. They’re also oval, non-winged, feature several legs, and can grow to between 4 and 5 mm (about the size of an apple seed).

Myth 2: Bed bugs are impossible to catch because they are fast.

Bed bugs don’t move very fast compared to most insects. If you know where to look (in cracks and crevices of your mattress and box springs) and when (late night and early morning hours), you’ll find them.

Myth 3: Bed bugs are only found in dirty or messy properties.

Unfortunately, bed bugs can’t distinguish between a five-star penthouse suite and the local roadside motel. In fact, bed bugs can thrive in clean environments. This includes buildings like hotels, hospitals, and apartments, as well as anywhere with beds, carpets, clothing, or upholstery. Bed bugs aren’t picky, as they only need a single human host to thrive.

Myth 4: You can battle bed bugs with over-the-counter pesticides.

While many over-the-counter products may kill bed bugs at certain stages, it’s important to have a comprehensive program that targets the pests at all life cycles. Good news: Advanced Integrated Pest Management provides the most current and effective methods for bed bug control, including heat remediation.

The Benefits of Bed Bug Heat Remediation

Most bed bug treatments are extremely tedious, requiring multiple visits, significant preparation, and insecticides to control the situation. Bed bugs are growing increasingly pesticide-resistant, and there are fewer treatment options available. However, with the use of concentrated heat treatments, a bed bug infestation can be eliminated in a short period of time. The best part? Because it doesn’t rely on the use of chemicals, you can resume normal use of your space quickly.
