Bed Bug Heat Treatment Diy

A bed bug infestation is a nightmare.

If you are reading this, chances are that you have been struggling with a bed bug infestation for some time now. Bed bugs don’t just happen overnight; they have an extensive life cycle and can hide in every nook and cranny of your home or apartment. Even if you aren’t currently experiencing any bites, it’s important to get treatment for your home as soon as possible to prevent them from returning again in the future.

It’s not uncommon for people who have experienced a bed bug infestation to feel overwhelmed and desperate—I know I did! But I promise that there is hope on the other side of this nightmare. With proper guidance (like what we provide here at HomePerfection), patience, determination, and an open mind about how best to handle this situation…you will be able to sleep soundly once again!

Don’t just heat the infested room.

You can’t just heat the infested room. You have to treat everything in it. If you’re using a space heater, make sure it’s set on medium or low and not high.

The most important step is to get rid of all your bedding, sheets, pillows and comforters before you begin treatment. Wrap them in double plastic bags and then put them outside for at least three weeks before putting them back on the bed.

It’s also a good idea to vacuum the mattress with an attachment that will remove any eggs or bugs that may be hiding inside of it. After vacuuming, use a steam cleaner to clean out any stains left behind by blood spots from feeding victims (this is where they lay their eggs). Follow up by spraying down all surfaces with an insecticide solution containing pyrethrin soap or permethrin spray (non-aerosol) so any remaining bugs are killed instantly upon contact with the chemical barrier surrounding them when sprayed onto surfaces such as walls or furniture within rooms where people spend time sleeping overnight every night—or more precisely..where there are mattresses!

Heat your clothing, luggage and other possessions.

Heat your clothing.

• Place your clothes in a sealed plastic bag and heat them for 30 minutes at 130 degrees Fahrenheit. During this time, the heat will kill all bedbugs on the fabric of your garments.
• Heating objects such as luggage and electronics will also do the trick. If you want to heat up an item but don’t think it will fit into a bag (or simply don’t have one on hand), place the item in a microwave oven with no dishes or other food items inside and cook it on high for two minutes, then check to see if any bugs have been killed by touching them with a wooden spoon; if so, repeat until all are dead or gone. You can also set up an indoor tent over luggage with an electric heater placed underneath it—just make sure to keep children and pets away from these methods so that they don’t get burned by accident!

The sweet spot for killing bed bugs.

The optimal temperature for killing bed bugs is between 120 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit (49 to 62 degrees Celsius). It’s important to note that you can’t just turn up your oven to this range and expect it to work—you need a specially designed appliance called a heat chamber.

Bed bugs are not killed by freezing temperatures, but they can be killed by heating them up to this range. Bed bug eggs are more resistant than adults because they don’t have blood vessels like an adult or larvae; instead, they absorb blood through their shell into their body. This means that the ideal temperature for killing bed bug eggs is lower than what kills adult bed bugs: anything over 150 degrees Fahrenheit (65 Celsius) will kill eggs within a few seconds.*

Heat treatment works at its best when you have enough time and space available to keep things going as long as possible—even if it takes several days or weeks before all evidence of an infestation is gone

Focus on the most important items in your home first.

Before you begin, it’s important to focus on the most important items in your home first. This will help ensure that bed bugs don’t spread from room to room as you heat treat them.

Items like bedding and clothing, toys, books and magazines, household plants and other decorations should be heated first. Once those items are treated (and if there are no signs of infestation) move onto pets like cats or dogs by placing their carriers outside when it’s safe for them to be out there during a heat treatment day.

If you have pets such as hamsters or gerbils who live inside your home but aren’t able to go outside during a heat treatment day then they too should be included as part of this process. You can put them into cardboard boxes or other types of containers that can withstand high temperatures without risking injury or death from burns or suffocation caused by overheating plastic or metal materials

Avoid doing a general sweep of your entire place all at once.

• Avoid doing a general sweep of your entire place all at once.
• Focus on the most important items first. If you don’t already have one, get yourself a thermal imaging camera and teach them how to use an infrared thermometer (or if you don’t want them to know it exists, just tell them that they need to take their temperature every time they see what looks like a heat pattern).

Dispose of or protect furniture that’s infested with bed bugs.

• Dispose of or protect furniture that’s infested with bed bugs.
• Make sure you protect items with bed bugs inside them as well.
• Don’t move furniture that’s infested with bed bugs to another room

Take it one step at a time and focus on doing one area of your home at a time.

Putting down traps is a good way to start, but don’t try to do your whole home at once. It’s better to focus on one area at a time and take it one step at a time. Once you’ve done that room, move onto another room. Taking this approach will help you stay organized and not feel overwhelmed by the task at hand.

Focusing on killing bed bugs specifically will save you time and money during this process, so that’s what you need to focus on before doing a sweeping, general heat treatment of your entire home all at once.

It’s important to note that while a heat treatment can be used as part of an overall strategy for killing bed bugs, it is not the only way to eliminate them. Heat treatments are often used in conjunction with other methods, such as bed bug sprays or powders. It’s best to consult a professional exterminator if you have any doubts about whether or not you should use heat treatment on your own.

The cost of hiring a professional exterminator can vary depending on where you live and how much time they spend treating your property (a weeklong job may run around $1500). You can also do it yourself at home by renting a steamer or heater from your local hardware store; doing so will save time and money over hiring someone else to come in and treat everything for you!
