Everyone in the Western world knows that there are some creatures that don’t like heat while others simply can’t stand the cold. Surprisingly (or it’s really not), we humans are one of those creatures. Some people prefer the cold while others prefer to live in a hot climate. There is no wonder that we enjoy those two conditions since they can be found both inside and outside of our homes which is why it’s not so easy for us to deal with extreme heat when we are inside and vice versa when we are outside. So, this article focuses on choosing between a heat and cold treatment as far as it concerns bed bugs. If you’re living in New York City, Detroit or another city where bed bugs have been spotted recently, you’ll find this article extremely helpful if you have a bed bug infestation problem because I’ll show you how to get rid of these pests using either hot or cold methods. This article is about why you should use heat or cold treatment in treating bed bug infestation. Many people argue what treatment is the best when it comes to eliminating bed bugs but this article will give you a quick guide on what would be best for you.
Bed Bug Like Heat Or Cold
A few key facts about bed bugs you should know.
Bed bugs are small, parasitic insects that feed on human blood. They’re often found in mattresses, box springs and bed frames. They can be spotted along the seams of mattresses and sheets or behind baseboards or other furniture.
In cases where a bed bug infestation is suspected, it’s important to remember that these pests are nocturnal and will hide in small cracks during the day. This makes them difficult to spot without some form of assistance—you may not notice them until they start biting!
Bed bugs are usually brownish red-colored with oval bodies measuring approximately 5 millimeters long when they’re fully grown (about the size of an apple seed). In order to detect a possible infestation you should look for live bed bugs or their droppings around your home before contacting us for help with treatment options.
Heat is one of the most effective ways to treat bed bugs.
Heat is one of the most effective ways for a homeowner to treat bed bugs. Heat kills all stages of the bed bug life cycle, including eggs, nymphs and adults.
The temperature needed to kill bed bugs varies by species (bed bugs are different species). Research shows that some species can survive temperatures as low as 113°F while others require temperatures upward of 131°F before they die. There are many ways you can determine what temperature is right for you:
- If your home has central heating or cooling, you’ll probably want to use this option first because it will generally be much quicker than other methods such as ovens or heaters. However, if your home is not equipped with central heating/cooling systems then this may not be an option for you at all!
Dryer heat has been used for years to kill bed bugs.
The heat from a dryer can be used to kill bed bugs. The drying process works by sucking the moisture out of the bugs, eventually causing them to dry up and die. A single hot dryer cycle will kill bed bugs in about 30 minutes, but you can use multiple cycles if you want to be sure that all of the pests are killed.
Bedbugs have been known to live for months without food or water and with very little oxygen, so it’s important that any items that are placed in a bag or container while they are going through this process is sealed tight so that no air gets in and no more bugs escape.
Heat treatment kills all stages of the bed bug life cycle, from egg to adult.
Heat treatment kills all stages of the bed bug life cycle, from egg to adult. Heat can kill bed bugs in every stage of life, including eggs. Eggs are more resistant to heat than other stages but will die at about 55°C for an hour. Heat treatment is the most effective way to kill bed bugs because it kills them quickly and does not leave behind any residue that might attract other pests or repel customers from your business.
Bed bugs can’t survive temperatures over 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bed bugs aren’t active all the time. They’re most active in the summer, but they can also be found in winter, too. That’s why you may see them on a cold day or night—they’ll crawl out of their hiding places to feed and then go back there when they’ve had enough.
However, heat is still your best friend when it comes to getting rid of bed bugs. High temperatures kill bed bugs quickly and effectively, so if you’re able to get your home up over 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius), you should be able to kill off any stragglers that are left behind by treatment methods like vacuuming or steaming.
Using steam is also helpful for eradicating bed bugs.
Another helpful method is the use of steam. Steam treatment can be used on bedding and mattresses to kill bed bugs at any stage of life. Steam cleaners can be purchased in different sizes, so you should be able to find one that will work for small areas like couches or chairs.
Bed bugs prefer lower temperatures and become inactive below 46 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bed bugs prefer lower temperatures and become inactive below 46 degrees Fahrenheit. The colder it gets, the less active bed bugs will be. Temperatures below freezing will kill bed bugs.
No matter how cold your home gets, bedbugs are still around, but they may be less active than usual.
- Temperature does not kill bed bugs. Bedbugs can survive at temperatures as low as 54°F and as high as 113°F for short periods of time. Typically, a bedbug will become inactive when it’s too cold and will move around more when it’s warmer.
- The colder it is outside, the slower your heating system will work. That means that even if you’ve got your thermostat set to 72 degrees, your heating unit may not be able to keep up with how quickly the temperature drops in your home—and could take longer than usual to heat up again once it gets colder outside. Your HVAC system works by using hot air from its furnace or boiler to warm up all of the rooms in your house—but if there isn’t enough hot air being produced, then there won’t be enough heat throughout all of those rooms either!
