Bed Bug Heat Treatment Chicago
Bed Bug Heat Treatment Chicago
Bed bugs are a growing problem in Chicago, Illinois. These pesky insects have been around for centuries, but they weren’t considered a major problem until recently.
Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to get rid of due to their ability to hide and multiply quickly. They feed on human blood—and can be found anywhere from your home to hotels and even offices.
The most common symptoms of bed bug bites include hives or rashes on the skin, but some people may experience allergic reactions including asthma attacks or anaphylactic shock (a dangerous drop in blood pressure).
Heat Treatments for Bed Bugs
How Heat Treatments Work
Heat treatment is a process that uses heat to kill bed bugs. During the procedure, infested items are placed in a machine that’s heated to 130 degrees or more for at least an hour. This temperature kills the juvenile and adult stages of the insect, as well as their eggs. The equipment used for this method consists of a large industrial heater with temperature controls on it, some form of containment system like plastic bags or crates and pheromones to attract any remaining bed bugs out from where they’re hiding during the treatment.
It’s important not to place any belongings in direct contact with your body during or after heat treatments because they could get burned by excessive heat levels; if you’re concerned about potential damage from heat exposure then cover all items with protective clothing before placing them into bags or containers (such as towels). Adult males will die at temperatures above 113°F so it’s best not place anything close enough next time around around that mark unless you want them dead anyway!
How Much Do Bed Bug Heat Treatments Cost?
The cost of bed bug heat treatment in Chicago is determined by the size and number of rooms that need to be treated.
- For a one-bedroom apartment, the cost would be around $150-$250.
- For a two-bedroom apartment, it would be between $200-$300.
Heat treatments are generally more affordable than chemical methods because they don’t require additional labor or equipment outside of what’s needed for the extermination itself (which can include extra carpet cleaning). Therefore, as long as your landlord allows you access to specific parts of the building where you live—and doesn’t mind paying for this service—heat treatments can be an effective and cost-effective way to address bed bugs problems in your home or apartment!
The most significant difference between chemical and heat treatments comes down to how long they last: while cold and hot methods will kill all stages of bed bugs at once (eek!) but then have little residual effect afterward (double eek!), thermal heating systems tend not only kill adult insects immediately upon contact but also leave behind residual heat which prevents them from returning over time, potentially making this option much more effective at preventing future infestations as well

How Long Does a Bed Bug Heat Treatment Last?
A bed bug heat treatment is a procedure that kills all stages of bed bugs. The treatment will last approximately two days, during which time it’s important to not allow anyone or anything into the treated space. When you’re ready to welcome guests back into your home, make sure they know that they should inspect their belongings for any signs of bed bugs before staying overnight so you can get an accurate count on how many were killed by the heat treatment.
If done correctly, this method will kill all stages of bed bugs and prevent them from returning in six months or more!
