As mentioned, we use heat treatment for all bed bugs that we encounter in the Meadow Woods. We start every visit with an inspection to make sure you actually do have bed bugs. After all, it is easy to mistake one kind of pest for another. Once we verify you have bed bugs, we will introduce you to our heat treatment plan. This includes the use of Heat Assault, the leading form of heat treatment in the country today.
Why do we use heat treatment? There are many reasons. The first is that heat treatment is proven to be incredibly powerful. Bed bugs love Florida and Meadow Woods because of the heat and humidity. This part of the Orlando-Kissimmee-Sanford metropolitan area is always the beneficiary of that classic Floridian heat. However, while heat attracts bed bugs, it can also be one of the most effective ways to wipe them out.
Put simply, bed bugs love to heat up to a point. After you reach temperatures of around 150F, though, this can be too much. So, by using Heat Assault, we spike the temperature of your property as high as is safe. This makes sure that bed bugs are killed off in significant numbers, often killing off the whole colony in one visit. Not only does this get rid of the problem, but the residual heat wards off other bed bugs from arriving. Again, they love heat, but too much of it is a killer. We use that against them to limit their return.
Heat treatment for bed bugs in Meadow Woods also avoids the use of nasty chemicals and gets through to all of the bed bugs. Other treatments impact those brave enough to leave the colony or only hurt adults. We make sure that we use a heat treatment for bed bugs in Meadow Woods that kills off any bed bug in the building. This gives you the certainty and peace of mind that the problem is gone for 60+ days.
