Can I do my own heat bed bug treatment?

1st what exactly is bed bug heat?…

Bed bug heat what is it? Heat for bed bugs is when a structure and all it's contents, minus items that may be damaged or dangerous, are sealed off and heat is applied to the entire areas internal structure for no less than 1-2 hours for individual rooms or 4-8 hours for entire homes. This type of bed bug treatment requires large heaters to reach the required kill temperatures needed. The heaters will be propane, diesel or kerosene indirect or direct fired. Many expensive high temp fans are used to circulate the dry heat around the area being treated for bed bugs. If enough fans are not used in the heat bed bug treatment it will ultimately fail. Also if those fans are not directed correctly the bed bug heat remediation will fail. A heat treatment is something only an experienced professional should take on. In order to have the correct equipment for a heat remediation you would have to spend about $10,000-$20,000 yourself. This is just one of the reasons why it's best left up to a pro.

Can't I just turn up my homes heater to kill my bed bugs?…

If you were to try to turn up the heat in your home with your central heat and air to try to kill bed bugs, you would literally be trying in vain. Even if you used your central heat all the way up supplemented with plug in heaters it would not work.

Why wouldn't just turning up my homes heater work to kill bed bugs?…

Let's just hypothetically that you are even able to reach 125 degrees Fahrenheit in a room, even though most central thermostats only go up to 99 degrees Fahrenheit normally. Why would the bed bugs not die from heat exposure in a room that is heated to 125 degrees? Right now you're thinking, "I thought bed bugs died at 120 degree temperatures". You'd be right but… Raising temperatures is only part of a correct heat remediation treatment though. Circulating and directing that heat into all areas of the room, including your furniture and belongings is the most crucial part for success. Without fans to circulate the air and direct it into your items and structure, even 150 degree temperatures is not going to eliminate your bed bug problem.

So why can't I just throw some fans in the room to circulate the heat?…

Not so fast! The fans used in a high temperature heat remediation service for bed bugs must be high temp rated fans or they will not last more than 10 minutes in the heat. High temp fans at their cheapest run $300 a piece. The amount of fans needed per room is directly related to the amount of furniture and items in the room.

Is it better to just use a bed bug pro?…

It's not easy to do your own heat treatment even with the proper heat remediation equipment. It's much less expensive if you immediately call a professional bed bug exterminator. Most reputable bed bug heat treatment companies will have some sort of warranty or guarantee with their service. So it's pretty much a given that professional bed bug removal has to work or the company comes back again, which you don't get when you rent bed bug heat. Dead Bug Walkin LLC's bed bug specialist services come with a warranty for whole home bed bug heat treatment services. Our warranty even covers if you bring bed bugs back into your home after your heat treatment has already been completed. Most pest control company's will not cover bed bugs brought back in after a treatment has been completed. Their warranty only covers if they fail to kill bed bugs in the home currently. Dead Bug Walkin LLC has been doing bed bug heat for a very long time and we realize that bed bug re-entry after a completed heat treatment isn't something a home owner should be punished for.

You pay the same amount no matter what bed bug treatment type…

It costs the same amount of money to get to the end result of extermination of your bed bugs, no matter whether it's a heat treatment or chemical treatment being done by a professional exterminator. Heat treatments are normally paid upfront all at once, while chemical treatments are normally stretched out payments each time a pest control company comes to your home to treat which can be 3-4-5 times in most cases. They both end up totaling around the same amount for the completed extermination of the bed bugs in the home. Of course bed bug heater rental is lower cost but there's no free do-overs if the heat remediation doesn't fully kill every bed bug or egg.
