Heat treatment for bed bugs.
First things first what is heat treatment?
Heat treatment is the application of heat at a certain temperature to buildings or items for a certain duration to kill any living creatures that may be within the area heated. When done correctly it is 100% effective at killing all stages of bedbug activity from eggs to nymphs (babies) to adults.
Here at City Pest Solutions we offer heat treatment for infested items in the form of a specially designed heavily insulated “tent” with its own associated thermal units & sensors. We come to your premises at a time that suits you and set the system up. We then take items of furniture such as sofas, bed frames & mattresses and “cook” them in the tent.
With chemical based treatments it can be difficult to reach the bedbugs as they can be hidden so deep inside the furniture that the insecticides simply won’t reach them. The advantage of these systems is that once the items are cooked then you can be sure that there are no more bedbugs in them as the heat will penetrate the entirety of the item and kill all stages of the bedbug lifecycle.
Whilst the furniture is “cooking” we can carry out a treatment of the actual premises as well using our standard treatment protocol.
So with heavy infestations were it can become inevitable that some furniture needs to be discarded as it is too badly infested you now have an alternative with heat treatment that can save you lots of money as you don’t need to replace any expensive furniture on top of the treatment.
