Heat treatment is the only way to kill all bed bugs and eggs in a single treatment. Bed bugs can be very resistant to pesticide, but thankfully they are not resistant to HEAT. Our unique equipment allows us to heat on room or an entire structure. Not all heat treatments are equal. Find out what sets Heat Pest Services apart on this page. Contact us for pricing.
Bed Bug Heat Treatment Denver
We can heat one room, one floor, or the entire home. The entire space gets hot, not just the seams and cracks. The heat penetrates through furniture and walls to kill the bed bugs where they are hiding. The heat treatment kills 99% of all bed bugs within hours. We include a 18 month warranty with heat treatment of whole home (single family homes only).
Bed bugs are resistant to most pesticide applications. Luckily, they are not resistant to HEAT. We use special equipment to heat the entire area to 150 degrees. Yes, 150 Degrees! No other bed bug company in Denver can reach our target temperature. Most websites that talk about bed bug heat treatments say the target temperature should be 120 degrees or 140 degrees.
Is 150 Degrees Necessary? Absolutely!
We have performed over 30,000 bed bug heat treatments since 2012. Through our experience we determined that 150 degrees is absolutely crucial. If target temperature is not reached, then all bed bugs and eggs will not be killed. If target temperature is exceeded, then belongings and fixtures can be damaged. We do not damage anything in the home by heating to 150 degrees. If we did, you would see it on our reviews. Go check our reviews on google and see for yourself.
We Never Leave Our Heat Treatment Unattended
There are companies out there who will set up their bed bug heaters in your home and come back 24 hours later. Can you believe that? What if something goes wrong? What if their machines malfunction? I’m sure you can imagine the worst case scenario here.
Not All Bed Bug Heat Treatments are Equal
There are several different types of bed bug heating equipment used by the industry. There are several things that differentiate them such as size, effectiveness, efficiency, source of heat, and treatment time. The most important differences are Target Temperature and Treatment Time.
Electric Bed Bug Heaters
Most of the bed bug heaters used by the pest control industry are electric. These are a larger version of the space heaters used by homeowners to heat small areas. A homeowner can rent an electric bed bug heater and attempt to solve their own bed bug problem (usually with little success). Many hotels own these type of heaters in order to attempt bed bug treatment on their rooms suspected to have bed bugs. We have tested these electric bed bug heaters and have several reasons not to use them.
Electric heaters don’t heat the space quickly enough.
The main problem with electric bed bug heaters is they don’t heat the space quickly enough. They gradually heat a standard to around 120 degrees over a period of 6 hours.
Why is it a problem if the room is heated slowly?
Bed bugs can feel heat. If they begin to get hot they will quickly move to a cooler area. They have the ability to completely escape the room being heated if it is heated too slowly. When a hotel uses their in house electric bed bug heaters they can spread the bugs from room to room very easily. We have seen this happen time and time again.
Electric heaters don’t heat the space hot enough.
The other main problem with electric bed bug heaters is that they do not EVER reach effective target temperatures. When hotels fail to kill their bed bugs after using their in house electric bed bug equipment they explain that they heated their room for two days straight just to have a guest complain of bed bugs in that same room.
What happens if the room doesn’t get hot enough?
All of the bed bugs and eggs will not be killed if target temperature is not reached for long enough.
Heat Pest Services Bed Bug Heaters
We use proprietary bed bug heating equipment that is safer, more efficient, and more effective than any of the heating equipment used by our competitors. Our bed bug heaters are one of our most guarded trade secrets. This is why you will never see pictures or video of our heaters on the internet. Our heaters are only used by Heat Pest Services in the markets we serve.
Safer Bed Bug Heaters
Our heaters are equipped with thermostats that allow us to reach exact target temperatures. The thermostats measure the ambient temperature of the room being heated. Once target temperature is reached, the heater turns off. There are also multiple sensors on the heaters to prevent malfunction. The heaters will never overheat or become a fire hazard.
More Efficient Bed Bug Heaters
Our heaters reach target temperature of 150 degrees within one hour. No other Denver bed bug treatment company can claim that. We also use very minimal electric power to generate the heat.
Most Effective Heat Treatment Process
Another trade secret is the heat treatment process. There is so much more to it than just getting the room hot enough fast enough. We are so confident in our heat treatment process that we include an 18 month bed bug warranty for single family homes when we heat all rooms.
