Bed Bug Heat Treatment Damage

Bed bug heat treatment damage to a mattress.

Because bed bugs are nocturnal, it is rare that people notice the damage done by a heat treatment without an inspection. Infrared cameras can detect bed bug heat treatment damage to a mattress.

The cost of repairing these damages can be significant. The type and number of repairs needed will depend on how long the mattress was heated and at what temperature, but it is typically between $500 and $1,500 per infested mattresses in order to repair them properly.

Bed bug heat treatment to a computer keyboard.

During heat treatment, it is possible for your computer keyboard to be damaged. There are several ways you can tell if your keyboard has been damaged by heat treatment, and prevent damage in the future. If you’re seeing any of these symptoms on your computer keyboard after having it treated, contact us immediately so we can help!

• Keys are sticky or non-responsive: This sign means that there is some residue left over on the keys from their previous owner’s blood and/or bodily fluids. When we do our bed bug heat treatment process, we use a special chemical spray which will kill off any pests that may have previously lived inside of your computer keyboard but leave behind a protective layer that keeps debris from collecting on top of it again. However, sometimes this layer doesn’t stick as well as we’d hoped for whatever reason (maybe because our pest control technician didn’t apply enough spray) and now there’s a bunch of goo stuck underneath each keycap instead.
• The whole thing smells terrible: Sometimes when people don’t clean out their keyboards properly before selling them off online—or even worse!—we hear stories about people who’ve taken an old used one home thinking they could use it just as if nothing had ever happened inside its casing… Unfortunately this isn’t always true—and when things go wrong during bed bug heat treatments like ours here at Pest Control Station USA™​ there might still be dead bugs around somewhere within close proximity distance (like under some keys). That’s why this rule applies equally to both new computers sold at retailers like Best Buy™​and older models bought secondhand from Craigslist™​ sellers; always check first before buying anything unless otherwise stated explicitly by seller beforehand how long ago did last cleaning job took place?”

Bed bug heat treatment damage to eyeglass frames.

Bed bug heat treatment is a way to kill bed bugs with heat. It’s less toxic than chemical treatments and is an effective way to get rid of bed bugs, but it can cause damage to some items in your home. If you’re going through a bed bug heat treatment, check with the company before they start that they have temperature monitoring equipment and ask them what their policies are if they damage your valuables.

If you’re worried about how much damage will be done by the treatment, ask if it’s possible for them to do less-intense treatments first (like spot treatments) so that you can see if there are any issues that need further attention or repair before doing an extensive treatment like this one. It might also be worth investing in storage containers for anything expensive that needs additional protection from being damaged by heat exposure during these kinds of processes — especially since many companies don’t offer refunds for damages caused by their services.

Bed bug heat treatment damage to a desk lamp.

The heat treatment will have caused damage to the plastic or metal parts of the desk lamp, and could have also damaged its wiring. The fact that it’s still functional may be a testament to this item’s durability, but you should take care when using it as there may be hidden damage that could cause a potentially dangerous fire.

Bed bug heat treatments are not effective on all types of household items. Some furniture cannot withstand these temperatures and should not be exposed to infrared heaters or other similar devices during bed bug extermination efforts.

Be sure you ask if bed bug heat treatments will damage your household items before treatment is performed

Heat treatment is a method used by pest control companies to kill bed bugs. Before you have your home treated, be sure to ask if heat treatments will damage the items in your home. You should also get everything in writing and ask the company if they will be doing the damage. If your homeowner’s insurance covers bed bug damage, find out how much coverage is provided and if it is enough to cover any possible damages.

If there are other treatment methods available that do not require heating of objects in your home, consider using those instead so that you can avoid having damage caused by heat treatments done on purpose or accidentally.
