THE MAGIC TEMPERATURE

Bed bugs begin to die when the ambient temperature reaches 113°F and die within minutes at 120°F. These temperatures are low enough to be safe for most of your belongings, including electronics.

HEAT TREATMENT VS. PESTICIDES

Bed bugs are very adept at quickly evolving resistance to pesticides, and while new pesticides are constantly being developed, their use will always be an uphill battle. With heat treatment there’s no danger of chemical misapplication or even just the inconvenience of repeated servicing and furniture that reeks of pesticides.
