How to Kill Bed Bugs With Heat
Using heat to kill bed bugs is a proven, modern pest control method - and the most effective for full bed bug eradication. It has been available for about a decade but has gained mainstream traction in the last five years as bed bug chemical resistance has grown.
Heat treatment is now the preferred method of bed bug eradication for hotels and many UK residents. Where chemical treatment can take weeks to fully clear an infestation, heat treatment delivers same-day eradication.
How Heat Treatment Removes Bed Bugs
To completely eliminate a bed bug infestation, the temperature of the affected area is raised to a "kill zone" (around 55 °C) and held there for a prolonged period of time. This destroys every life stage of the insect: eggs, nymphs and adults.
