I’ve Got Bed Bugs, Heat Treatment Vs Chemical
So you just discovered you have bed bugs. After the emotional meltdown you just had, what do you do now? You have combed the internet, read EVERY SINGLE ARTICLE. But really, what do you do? You have options, so what is right for your family- heat treatment or chemical treatment?
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
Still confused? Call John at Exclusive Pest Control. He will help you determine which method best suits you and your family.

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.
