Heat Treatment
Bed bugs are a formidable adversary. Their ability to adapt to different environments has allowed them to spread globally, becoming a persistent pest throughout the world. Over time, they have grown resistant to nearly ALL forms of insecticide. What was once the perfect solution to a bed bug infestation is now utterly ineffective.
Fortunately, one effective treatment option remains: heat treatment. Rocky Mountain Bed Bug has spent many years fine-tuning this treatment to eliminate infestations in a single visit. We can leave your home entirely bed bug-free, usually in less than 24 hours.
What Is Bed Bug Heat Treatment?
Heat treatment can eliminate bed bugs at every life stage, from eggs to nymphs and adults. During this service, our team raises the temperature inside your home or business to levels that are lethal to bed bugs.
Unlike sprays, heat penetrates deep into mattresses, furniture, walls, and other hiding places, ensuring no bugs are left behind.
How Heat Treatment Works
Inspection & Preparation — Our technicians will inspect your property to locate infestation areas and instruct you on how to prepare for treatment. This may include decluttering and removing heat-sensitive items.
Controlled Heating — We use specialized heaters and fans to gradually raise the temperature throughout the affected space. Our professional equipment ensures heat penetrates furniture and walls.
Sustained High Temperatures — Our team raises the room’s temperature to around 122°-140°F for several hours. Bed bug adults and nymphs die at 118°F, while eggs require 122°F for at least 90 minutes to die.
We use remote thermal monitoring to ensure that heat levels are kept consistent and accurate.
Cooling & Final Check — After treatment, we let the space cool down, then complete a final inspection to confirm the infestation is eliminated.
