Scientific research and industry professionals agree that heat treatment is the most effective and fastest way to kill bedbugs, when compared to dangerous and increasingly less-effective chemicals.
DDT was used in the second half of World War II to limit the spread of insect-borne diseases, malaria, and typhus among civilians and troops. While DDT was very effective, it was dangerous to humans. In 1972, DDT was banned. This means that chemicals keep being reformulated to a higher potency to kill bedbugs. With these reformulations, bedbugs have built up a resistance to pesticides.
In 2012 the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) — issued a warning about the dangers of bedbug pesticides, the exposure to such chemicals, and the residue they leave behind that can be hazardous to humans and pets.
Unlike chemical fumigation, heat does not have to be applied by a certified pest management professional and is non-toxic. Heat is the one thing that bedbugs cannot resist. Pest and bedbug experts are learning that the most effective and chemical-free way to get rid of bed bug problems is through the use of high temperatures.
Lethal temperatures for bedbugs range between 122º to 135ºF (50º to 57.2ºC). The pest control industry has adopted 122ºF (50ºC) as the minimum standard base line. Having a controlled environment for an extended period of time will efficiently and safely handle any infestation you may have. Sustained heat will destroy bed bugs at any stage of development, including unhatched larvae in a dead mother.
With heat there is minimal risk for humans or animals because there are not harmful odors or toxic chemicals.
Bedbug heaters are quick and efficient, killing bedbugs in as little as one day with one treatment. Average of 1.3 treatments per site is typical for complete eradication.
Heat treatment causes bedbugs to become lethargic prior to death, meaning they slow down and are unable to scatter or hide. The 122 to 135ºF (50 to 57.2ºC ) heat from bedbug heaters penetrates into hiding places ensuring that you’re getting full eradication of bedbugs in all of their harborages and stages of life.
You or your staff can set up and utilize bedbug heaters. This eliminates the need for pest control companies and their vans, which can be seen outside your facility and create a cause for concern.
Eradi-Flo heaters are logical investments which pay for themselves after just a few uses. Combined with the turn around time keeping rooms in service and generating revenue.
Heaters are a one-time investment that pays for itself after the 2nd usage. Heaters can be used in other applications as well.
You or your employees do not have to have a license to conduct heat treatments.
Chemicals have odors which are toxic and harmful to both humans and animals. Sometimes treated items and materials may need to be discarded because of chemical resideu.
Research indicates it takes an average of 2.6 service visits to at best, reduce bedbugs with chemical treatments.
New strains of bedbugs are becoming increasingly resistant to chemicals with tougher cuticles and maneuverability. Spraying chemicals also causes bugs to scatter and hide. With chemicals, if you can’t see them you’re not getting them because to be successful many require direct contact on the bugs.
With chemicals there is a visible and olfactory evidence of application. Pest control vans can be seen near the building as well.
Slower turn around from chemicals means your room are out of service for multiple days resulting in lost revenue and possibly damage to your reputation.
Chemical treatments require multiple visits and multitude of chemicals. This also ties up cash for constantly replenishing inventory.
Technicians are required to have a professional license. To apply certain chemicals with an annual re-certification.
Research indicates chemicals are not totally effective.
