What Makes Heat Treatment Effective?
The core of the treatment involves gradually raising the temperature of the entire area to between 120-140°F. This temperature range is crucial – it’s hot enough to be lethal to bed bugs at all life stages yet safe for most household items when properly monitored. As the heat permeates the space, it penetrates deep into furniture, mattresses, and wall voids where bed bugs hide.
The sustained high temperatures eliminate adult insects, eggs, and nymphs that may be hidden from view.
