Most Effective Treatment

Bed Bug Heat Treatment
One Day. Done.

The most effective bed bug elimination method available. Raises your space to 118Β°F+ β€” killing every bed bug and every egg in a single treatment. No chemicals. Back home the same day.

What Is Bed Bug Heat Treatment?

Bed bug heat treatment β€” also called thermal remediation β€” uses industrial heating equipment to raise the temperature inside your home or unit to 118Β°F (48Β°C) or higher, and maintains that temperature for several hours. At this temperature, bed bugs and their eggs are killed at every life stage.

Unlike chemical treatments, heat penetrates into wall voids, mattress interiors, furniture cushions, and every crevice where bed bugs hide. There is nowhere to hide from heat.

The result: complete elimination in a single treatment visit. You leave in the morning, we treat all day, you return in the evening to a bed bug-free home.

Why Heat Is the Most Effective Option

No Resistance

Bed bugs have evolved resistance to many chemical insecticides over decades. They cannot develop resistance to heat β€” physics is physics.

Penetrates Everywhere

Heat reaches inside mattresses, wall voids, electronics, and furniture joints β€” places chemical sprays simply cannot access.

One-and-Done

Chemical protocols typically require 2–3 visits over 4–6 weeks. Heat treats the entire space in a single day.

Heat Treatment FAQs

How much does bed bug heat treatment cost?

Heat treatment typically costs between $1,000 and $3,500 for a residential unit, depending on the size of the space. While the upfront cost is higher than chemical treatment, many clients find it cost-effective because it requires only a single visit and eliminates the infestation (including eggs) in one day. Commercial properties are priced based on square footage and scope. Contact us for a specific quote.

Does heat treatment really kill bed bug eggs?

Yes β€” this is the key advantage of heat treatment. Bed bug eggs are immune to most chemical insecticides, which is why chemical protocols require multiple visits (to treat newly hatched eggs). Heat kills bed bugs at all life stages, including eggs, when the temperature exceeds 118Β°F (48Β°C) and is sustained for sufficient time. There is no egg immunity with heat.

How hot does heat treatment get, and is it safe?

We raise the room temperature to approximately 120–135Β°F and maintain it for several hours. The treatment is applied by trained technicians who monitor temperatures throughout. You cannot be in the space during treatment. Certain items β€” candles, medications, pressurized containers, live plants β€” must be removed beforehand. Your technician will provide a specific preparation list.

Can I return home the same day after heat treatment?

Yes β€” in most cases, you can return to your home 2–4 hours after the heating equipment is removed and the space has cooled to a safe temperature. Your technician will confirm the re-entry time on the day of treatment.

What should I do to prepare for heat treatment?

Key preparation steps include: remove candles, wax items, medications, aerosol cans, wine/champagne, live plants, and pets. Remove items from dryers. Open drawers and closets. Leave beds unmade (don't move mattresses). You do NOT need to bag clothing, empty shelves, or extensively disrupt your belongings β€” this is part of the low-prep protocol we follow.
