Other chemicals have been only gradually thriving in controlling them. Now, overuse of chemical pesticides could be contributing to the problem by creating extremely defiant populations, causing them to grow and making some pesticides virtually useless.

One thing is clear - use of pesticides is not a sustainable coming to the infestation of bed bugs. So what's the best solution?

Heat. Special thermal heat rehabilitation systems have been designed to fully eradicate bed bugs, ticks, mites, spiders and other pests without the use of chemicals. Thermal heat remediation gets to the heart of the problem safely and economically by getting rid of infestations in only a short period of time, allowing habitancy to move back into the space quickly.

So how does heat remediation work?

Specially designed galvanic heaters are brought into the actual room space and turned on. Heat is then allowed to circulate throughout the targeted room area for four to six hours at a lethal temperature range of between 130º and 150ºF. A Special timer is placed surface the room with which to monitor the temperature and turn the heaters off following the eradication cycle.

Not only will heat kill the live bed bugs, but also their larvae. Therefore, a thermal heat explication kills every life stage from egg to adult.

Will any basic heaters work?

No.

Most basic galvanic heaters are designed for relieve heating only with limit switches and other security devices built in, which will not allow the heaters to run at high temperature. Plus, small personal space heaters are not safe to be left unattended.

By inequity a Special heat rehabilitation ideas consists of a 240V base heating unit, plus additional satellite heaters, designed to operate safely at high temperatures. Special timers and controllers are also used to regulate and bring room temperatures up to the optimum kill level.

Thermal area rehabilitation heaters are usually purchased by pest operate clubs who compact with homeowners and enterprise habitancy locally. However, they can also be purchased and operated by hotel/motel owners, apartment owners, hospitals and government agencies.

Aside from killing insects, thermal heat rehabilitation eradicates spiders, ticks, mites and a host of other insects. Cockroaches may be the only exception. Water remediation is an additional one very beloved use of a thermal heat rehabilitation system.
