We know bed bugs are nasty pests and if you find them in your home, the first thing you want to do is get rid of them as soon as possible. However, popular, “do-it-yourself” pesticide treatments including bug bombs, repellent sprays, natural oils, and store bought chemical applications are not recommended.

Portable electric heaters and high temperature fans are used as part of the heat treatment process to kill bed bugs.
Bed bug infestations are in the news on a daily basis and are proving to be a formidable problem and big concern for many cities and towns throughout New England and across the nation. With bed bug infestations on the rise, heat treatment is becoming more popular.
Bed bugs are elusive, hardy pests
Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are small, nocturnal creatures that primarily dine on the blood of humans, but can live up to 12 months without a blood meal. Though they do not transmit diseases, their bites can become red, itchy welts, sometimes causing an allergic reaction. Bed bugs are elusive, hiding in mattresses and tiny cracks and crevices close to where humans rest and sleep, and their presence can take an emotional toll on their hosts.

Thermal Remediation is becoming more popular as an alternative solution to eliminate common household pests. Also called Heat Treatment, this new green technique is designed to kill pests and termites, all by using dry heat.
No more tents, chemicals, or evacuation needed. Heat is elevated to a range of 120 degrees to 150 degrees inside the location, for up to 8 hours. The lethal temperatures suffocate drywood termites, Bed Bugs, beetles, cockroaches, and their eggs, ensuring there are no survivors.
