Bed Bugs - Heat Treatment vs. Pesticide Treatment

We are often asked about the difference between heat treatment and pesticide treatment. Here is a side by side comparison of a heat treatment, and a typical pesticide treatment for bed bugs:

Pesticide Treatment
Heat Treatment
30 Minute-2 hour process 6-8 hour process
Minuimum 2 services; potential 3 or more! One Service
Bed Bug eggs not killed 100% eliminated
Bed Bugs in walls not killed 100% eliminated
Bed bugs in furniture not killed 100% eliminated
Bed Bugs in clutter not killed 100% eliminated
Intense preparation required by tenants Minimal preparation required by tenants
Residual pesticides left in affected areas No toxic chemicals used

  4. Well, I was not having that much information on heat treatment. Heat treatment is also beneficial in killing bugs but is it cost effective also?

  5. I think heat treatment is best for controlling bedbugs. Because, it kills adults and also destroy eggs. Heat treatment works faster. Good pesticides are also very effective for controlling them.

  7. My landlord is too cheap to pay for a one time heat treatment and be done with it. Instead he'd rather continuously pay for the cheaper option that hasn't solved anything. I just had my fifth treatment 3 days ago and there are bugs still crawling around my apartment.
