A non-chemical pest control method that uses elevated temperatures to kill pests.
What are Heat treatments?
Heat treatments are a non-chemical pest control method that uses elevated temperatures to kill pests and their eggs. This method is particularly effective for bed bugs and is often preferred because it eliminates the need for chemical pesticides.
Heat treatments typically raise the temperature in a structure or room to 120-135°F (49-57°C), which is lethal to most pests. Professional heat treatment equipment is used to ensure consistent temperatures throughout the treated area.
