How do I prepare my home for bed bug treatment?

Preparation is critical for successful eradication. You will typically need to strip all bedding, wash and dry clothes on high heat, and place them in sealed plastic bags. You should also clear clutter from floors, vacuum thoroughly, and pull furniture away from walls. Your technician will provide a specific checklist to complete before they arrive.

Is a heat treatment better than chemical treatment for bed bugs?

Both methods are highly effective when performed correctly. Heat treatments raise the temperature of the entire structure to a level that kills all life stages of bed bugs instantly, including eggs, often requiring only one visit. Chemical treatments are highly targeted and offer residual protection, but usually require multiple visits to ensure complete elimination.

How long does it take to get rid of bed bugs completely?

The timeline depends on the treatment method and severity of the infestation. Heat treatments can resolve the issue in a single day, though preparation and post-treatment cleaning are still required. Chemical treatments typically require two to three visits spaced over several weeks to target newly hatched nymphs. A professional can provide a precise timeline after inspection.
