Best Treatment for Bed Bugs | Exclusive Pest Control
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Discovering that your home is infested with bedbugs is one of the worst feelings a homeowner can face. The creeping little parasites burrow into the most unlikely hiding places, disappearing into the tiniest cracks and crevices during the day, and into the seams of bedding, to wait for their opportunity to feast overnight on human blood, leaving their reluctant hosts with itching welts that resemble a rash. To get rid of these pests, you need to find the best treatment. Fortunately there’s a treatment that bedbugs can’t hide from, that kills them quickly and efficiently, destroying eggs, larvae, and adults alike- heat treatment.
How Does It Work?
Heat is the bedbugs’ Achilles heel. At high temperatures, they die within minutes, which is why residents are often advised to run their clothing, fabric toys, and bedding through a cycle in their dryer when undergoing treatment for bedbugs. At 120oF, bedbugs at all stages die within minutes, making heat the best treatment. Heat treatment is the only treatment that can destroy an infestation in just one treatment, without chemicals or pesticides.
Why Is it The Best Treatment?
Does anyone really want to introduce chemical sprays into the places where we sleep? Treating one’s home with pesticides may be effective in some cases, but bedbugs are experts at hiding deep within the crevices and seams of our mattresses, and in the baseboards of bedroom walls. They may also take refuge in luggage and laundry, and in any tiny place they can hide. It’s nearly impossible for pesticides to be applied to every potential hiding place and surface, and repeated treatments are necessary for that reason. Heat treatment, when applied properly, penetrates every area bedbugs can hide, and leaves behind no pesticide residue.
Can I Do it Myself?
This is one of the most commonly asked questions about heat treatment. In order to be effective, the heat must be applied evenly to every place in which bedbugs can take refuge. That means inside walls, and in and around every surface of the home. It is necessary to remove clutter and prepare the rooms to be treated by removing any item that cannot tolerate high levels of heat, like aerosol cans, wax figures or candles, and electronics. It’s not possible to bring rooms up to the correct temperatures with any at-home heating systems. Special equipment is needed to ensure that the heat is circulated thoroughly and efficiently, to eradicate the bugs. The heat that the technicians are exposed to during the treatment can pose serious health risks if not correctly handled. Heat treatment for bedbugs is best left to a team of professionals who can ensure that it is both effective and safe.

John was very accommodating and went out of his way to satisfy our needs. We intend to keep his service and would highly recommend him to anyone. An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.

For the job I had for EPC I am very satisfied. He has made a huge difference - Unfortunately this house had a roach infestation before, but now we are taking the step to end this nightmare. When I contacted EPC for pest control John was very fast in response, so yes I would refer him to others, prices are good and the service is good as well. John was on time, we are very happy.

Being allergic to most bug sprays, I was skeptical about having our yard sprayed. And living in the low country my entire life, I had accepted the fact that mosquitoes are just part of our environment. John came out and sprayed the yard. It was unbelievable! I was literally able to go outside and read a book in the grass. I am a believer!

John responded immediately by phone and treated my house the next day. He was very professional and advised me with the next steps to take to keep my home protected. I'm a very pleased customer and would hire him again, if needed.

I have been using Exclusive Pest Control for 3 years. We live on the golf course with the marsh behind us. So we have a LOT of mosquitos! John has been wonderful to work with and guarantees his services. Without doubt, I can call on a whim to say the bugs are attacking and he comes to our rescue! I’ve even sent him a text message the day before I am having an event at my home and he is always quick to arrive.

I would highly recommend John McGee and Exclusive Pest Control. They are very thorough and professional. I get reminders when my maintenance is due, instead of a just bill for it and no one ever showing up. He is the only one that has actually kept the mosquitos away. When I need an extra mosquito spray because of all the rain, they are always available to get right out, none of this we’ll be in your area in two weeks.
