Heat treatment is a process of using high temperatures to kill bed bugs and their eggs. This is a great option for people who are moving out of an infested area, as it will prevent the bed bugs from following you back home.
Heat treatment for bed bugs works by killing the bed bugs and their eggs with heat. The heaters raise the temperature of the ambient room to about 49° – 57°C (120° – 135°F), which stops bed bugs in their tracks.
Yes, bed bugs can easily spread to other rooms in a house. They are adept at hitchhiking on clothing, luggage, furniture, and other items that are moved from one room to another. Additionally, bed bugs can travel through small spaces and cracks in walls, floors, and ceilings, enabling them to move between adjacent rooms or apartments. Their small size and flat bodies make it easy for them to hide and be inadvertently transported, increasing the risk of spreading throughout a home. Regular inspection and cleanliness can help prevent their spread, but professional extermination is often necessary if an infestation occurs.
Bat bugs, closely related to bed bugs, primarily feed on bat blood but can survive and even thrive in environments without their primary host. In the absence of bats, bat bugs may turn to feed on human blood, displaying a degree of adaptability to new food sources. This transition typically occurs when bats leave their roost or are excluded from a building, leaving bat bugs behind to seek new hosts. Although bat bugs prefer bats, they can live for up to a year without feeding, giving them ample time to find alternative hosts in human occupants. This makes them capable of sustaining their population in homes, even without bats, as long as they have access to blood meals from humans or pets. The presence of bat bugs in living spaces without bats highlights the importance of comprehensive pest management, including humane removal of bats, sealing entry points to prevent their return, and addressing any remaining bat bugs with professional pest control measures. Ensuring that all potential hosts are removed or inaccessible can help avoid bugs of a bat from establishing a presence in human living areas.
Yes, there are methods and substances that can kill bed bugs nearly instantly or within a very short time frame. Here are a few:
It’s important to note that while these methods can kill bed bugs on contact or within a short time frame, addressing a full-blown infestation often requires a combination of treatments and a more comprehensive approach. Always take safety precautions when using any treatment, and when in doubt, consult with a pest control professional.
The early signs of bed bugs are small, red bites on the skin. These bites are usually found in a line or cluster and may be itchy. Bed bugs are small, brownish-red insects that feed on blood. They are often found in mattresses, bedding, or furniture. Bed bugs can be challenging to see, but if you suspect an infestation, contact us to have your home inspected.
If you see pests after a treatment, don’t panic. It’s normal to see some pests shortly after treatment as they are driven out of their hiding places by the pesticides. However, if you continue to see pests a week or two after the treatment, or if the numbers don’t seem to be decreasing, you should contact your pest control provider. They can assess the situation and determine if additional treatments are necessary.
