The Biggest Threat To Bed Bugs: Heat

You’ve heard the old saying, “If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen?”. Well, in the case of bed bugs it’s, “If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the house.” If you’ve discovered bed bugs in your home, someone may have told you this already. Heat is how you get bed bugs out. But heat alone will not solve a bed bug problem.

Bed bugs are a clever and resilient pest. You almost have to treat them like a biological outbreak. I kid you not. Ask anyone who has ever had them and gotten rid of them. It can be a nightmare, especially if you don’t use a company like Terminix Wil-Kil. You’ll feel like you’ve been deloused, and violated.

The reason pest companies take so many precautions is because it only takes one female bed bug to re-infest a home in under six months. That means if she tucks herself in your pant’s pocket, a hoodie, or a sock seam, you’re looking at another big hassle down the road. If you’re going to go through all the trouble of getting a bed bug treatment, make sure you get a company that will be delicate with your valuable possessions and sensitive to your family’s discomfort. Hospitality makes all the difference when dealing with this kind of traumatic event.

A bed bug treatment can take some companies 24 to 48 hours. Fortunately, Terminix Wil-Kil has this down to a science. You’ll have to vacate your home for about 6-8 hours while they prep, heat, and spray. And when you get back, you’ll know the infestation is gone for good. They’ll also give you practical advice on how to protect your home from bed bugs in the future. They’re not looking to make another buck off you. They’re hoping you’ll tell someone else, and that they can make a difference one home at a time. If they do a good enough job, they’ll be happy to throw away their bed bug equipment and get back to the business of protecting homes from pests “before” they get in. Give them a call and see for yourself.
