Heat Treatments for Bed Bugs
Heat treatments are touted across the internet as the best of the best – however there is a bit more detail to it. While heat treatments can be advertised as one and done – It’s just not that simple! It’s important to have an experienced service provider in your corner.
We use heat as a means to treat and get rid of bed bugs in severe infestations, or significantly infested hot spot areas. Heat treatments must be combined with chemical or organic applications to ensure 100% efficacy. It is also significantly more intensive to prepare for a heat treatment, and the cost is substantially more.
There is also a difference in the types of companies that offer heat treatments. Ensure you select a licensed service provider! A bed bug pest control company can technically exist without a proper pest control license. Purchasing and operating only heaters requires no license. Thus, these companies tend to promote heat as the most effective means simply because they have no license to offer an alternative.
Understanding Heat Treatment Details
While heat does kill all stages of the bed bug life cycle, bugs can survive the heat process hiding in areas known as “micro climates”. Micro climates are small areas that never reach a thermal temperature high enough to kill a bed bug. Thus any bugs that make it to a safe micro climate, survive the treatment and re-infest your house all over again. These micro climates are recognized industry wide as the reason why heat treatments are not 100% successful on their own.
Using a dual approach of heat and chemical/organic is a one-two punch that ensures that anything that may survive the heat treatment is eradicated by the chemical or organic treatment application.
Heat + Chemical Required
Heat treatments must be coupled with chemical and/or organic applications to be effective.
Discreet
Our heat treatments are completely discreet. We do not use propane heaters set up outside of your home for neighbors to see!
Selective Targeting
Utilizing sensors and targeting severe areas can be effective and affordable.
Our heat treatment process can be used to treat your entire house or specific rooms, like the main bedroom, for example. Our heaters are also discreet and everything is set up inside your house. Many heat treatment companies used propane based heaters, which require set up outside, for all the world (neighbors) to see. Our heat treatments are all interior set up and remotely monitored.
How Bed Bug Heat Treatments Work
Here at the Bed Bug Pros, we use an electric heating system. This system of heaters and fans uses about the same amount of electricity as an electric stove, and will be plugged into an electric stove or dryer outlet to operate, or directly into an electrical panel. We then utilize remote thermometers to monitor the temperatures throughout the treatment.
There are many benefits to treating with electric heat:
- Control
- Monitoring
- Even Heating
- Safety
- Discreet
The alternative heat option is propane heating, which requires outdoor heaters and exterior exhaust (This means you have a large vent coming out of a window or door). This also requires an attendant to be on site to monitor for issues and ensure the temperature does not raise to a dangerous level.
We opted for an electric based system because of the safety, value, control and monitoring capabilities. Electric bed bug heat treatments allow us to treat all or part of your home, we can monitor it remotely using temperature sensors and it provides a nice even heat – Similar to setting your furnace thermostat.

Choosing a Heat Treatment
Every heat treatment requires preparation. We review all preparation tasks with you thoroughly, and ensure you do not have items in your home that are prone to damage.
Deciding whether to heat treat your entire home or just specific rooms is another option. We couple our heat treatments with a chemical application to ensure maximum effectiveness. While bed bugs cannot survive the extreme heat, they can hide in micro climates, and the chemical treatments ensure they are caught after the fact.
We will help you decide whether you need a full-house treatment, typically in the case of an extreme infestation or resistance, or just spot treatment for specific areas / rooms of your home.

Why Choose a Full Service Bed Bug Company
The cost of heat treatments is typically very expensive with a “heat treatment only” company. They have expensive overhead and must have an attendant.
For example, a heat treatment company may quote $3-5 thousand dollars for a home. Our price for example may be $1,000. There is a HUGE cost difference for a “heat only” company! A full service bed bug company can provide an array of options that fit within your budget.
