Bed Bug Heat Treatments in Tulsa

Why Choose Heat Treatment?

​Heat treatment, especially when combined with our residual spray treatment, is the ultimate solution for bed bugs. The heat treatment process is very thorough and can penetrate deep inside mattresses, box springs, walls, outlets, couches, recliners, furniture, and other places that bed bugs hide where traditional methods cannot effectively reach. 

It can also eliminate up to 90% of all bed bug stages, including adults, juveniles, and eggs. Best yet, we can accomplish this all within one workday. What the heat does not kill, our residual pesticides will—we apply the product immediately after the heat treatment and two weeks later to ensure complete and lasting results!

Below are the common reasons to choose heat treatment over other methods:

• Bed bugs have nowhere to hide – Bed bugs hide deep in areas such as baseboards, box springs, bed frames, outlet covers, curtains, window frames, clothes, nightstands, and more. Traditional pesticide treatments heavily rely on the technician's inspection process and experience level, as well as the strength of chemicals used in order to eliminate the problem. Heat treatments rely on hot air movement throughout the home and structure which can penetrate all the areas that a technician may find difficult to inspect.
• Fast turnaround – Traditional pesticide treatments take time in order to kill bed bugs. Even if the inspection has been done well and most of the infested areas have been located, not all bed bugs will die immediately. Traditional pest control methods require the use of residual pesticides, which stay effective for days and weeks after the treatment in order to kill any remaining pests. The problem with relying on residual pesticides is that bed bugs do not groom themselves like many other insects, which means they may not ingest the pesticide, resulting in a slower, less effective kill ratio. Heat treatments drastically speed up the turnaround time for complete results, satisfying customers who anticipate success right away.
• Bed bug resistance-proof – Because bed bugs lay eggs and there can be different generations present, adult bed bugs can build resistant genes to the pesticides which are used against them. Over the course of time required to eliminate an infestation with commercial pesticides, these resistant genes can be handed down and strengthened from generation to generation and lead to bed bugs that are almost invincible to insecticides. There is a huge advantage to using heat to kill bed bugs against pesticide resistance!
