Bed Bug Heat Treatment Not Working

Tired of dealing with bed bug heat treatment that isn't working? Thankfully, there are many other solutions. Bed bugs are small parasitic insects that feed on human blood. Heat treatment works by raising the temperature of a room to a level that is intolerable for bed bugs. However, it may not work if done improperly or if the bed bugs have developed resistance.

Preventative measures such as using dusts or traps around beds and furniture, vacuuming sensitive areas regularly, washing linens in hot water cycles above 140°F (60°C), and sealing openings can help protect your home against infestations.

Replacing mattresses due to an infestation? An encased mattress with pre-treated barrier fabric can help prevent future infestations while providing protection against allergens such as dust mites and pet dander. Additionally, consulting a professional pest control expert is recommended in order to determine appropriate measures for eradication.

With enough diligence and maintenance you can keep your home free from bed bugs once and for all!

Are you worried about bed bugs surviving heat treatments? Bed bugs have exoskeletons designed to withstand high temperatures. To be effective, a heat treatment must reach at least 120°F (49°C) for 90 minutes or more. If the temperature does not reach this threshold or stays below it for less than 90 minutes, then bed bugs may survive and escape. Additionally, eggs in small crevices that don't get hot enough may also escape.

To protect your mattress from potential infestations, invest in a mattress specifically designed to resist bed bug infestations. A quality mattress encasement can also provide an added layer of protection since it will prevent them from entering your mattress and keep any existing ones inside before they can spread throughout your home.
