First, call John at Exclusive Pest Control. He is going to come out and do an initial bed bug inspection. You may feel like you have a TOTAL infestation, when you may only have them in one room.
Next, you have to decide if you prefer chemical or heat treatment. So chemical vs. heat…
Chemicals
- Linked to at least 81 poisonings
- Chemicals known to cause nerve damage, skin irritation, endocrine disorders, cancer, and more
- Over the past 10 years bed bugs have become 1000 times more resistant to chemicals
- 98% of chemicals are contaminating the environment and untargeted species
- Chemical treatment is less effective
Heat Treatment
- Bed bugs can’t survive temperatures above 120 degrees
- Heat treatment utilizes heaters and fans. Not chemicals and toxins with lasting residue
- Requires 1 initial visit and 2 follow ups
- All stages of bed bug life will die once the space reaches 120 degrees
