Florida Heat Kills Bed Bugs
1/14/14
As a resident of Florida you are no stranger to bugs and heat; in fact one type of pest that is still causing major problems for home and business owners alike is the bed bug. Bed bugs are a problem all across the country but especially for places like Florida where there is a high level of visitors constantly coming and going. Bed bugs are a difficult pest to get rid of and nearly impossible to eradicate without professional help. Overtime, bed bugs have built up a resistant to a lot of the common pesticides that have been used for treatment in the past so bed bugs are not for the DIY’er. Professional bed bug exterminators have the most advanced technology and treatment options available to ensure that the entire infestation is eliminated and that with follow up inspections and visits, bed bugs do not return.
It has been found that heat is actually one of the best ways to get rid of bed bugs, and we aren’t talking about the heat of the Florida sun. Bed bug heat treatments use special mobile heat units that are placed inside of specially prepared homes or businesses. These heat units maintain the air temperature at a steady 120 degrees for a prescribed period of time (at 120 degrees all stages of bed bugs will be killed). Heat treatments can be used on their own or paired with follow-up chemical treatments in order give you complete peace of mind that your bed bug problems are gone and will not return. Along with being effective, bed bug heat treatments are environmentally friendly and are completed in one day, allowing you to return into your home or business as fast as possible.
