First Responders

First responders frequently enter environments where bed bugs may be present — including residential structures, shelters, and public facilities. Gear bags, uniforms, and equipment can inadvertently transport bed bugs back to stations, emergency vehicles, or even personal vehicles.

Preventative treatment provides a proactive way to protect equipment and reduce the risk of secondary spread. Heat can be safely used to treat jump bags, uniforms, medical equipment, and ambulances, effectively killing bed bugs without chemical exposure.

Our bed bug prevention products offer a practical solution for departments seeking to protect personnel, vehicles, and facilities from bed bug transfer.
