Bed Bug Heat Treatment in Chicago
Bed bug heat treatment raises the temperature of the treated rooms to a level bed bugs cannot survive. Schedule an inspection and written quote to see if heat is the right fit for your home.
How bed bug heat treatment works
Heat treatment uses professional heaters and fans to raise the temperature of the treated rooms to a level bed bugs and their eggs cannot survive, reaching into mattresses, furniture, baseboards, and wall gaps.
The target temperature and how long it is held are set by your technician based on the equipment protocol and the layout of your space, and are monitored throughout the treatment.
Your technician inspects first to confirm bed bugs and decide which rooms need to be heated. Heat-sensitive items are identified and protected or removed before the treatment begins.
