Blue Star Pest Control uses an integrated pest management approach to bed bug treatments. This means we use a combination of non-chemical, chemical, and mechanical methods. In some cases, this includes steam for treatment of bed bugs in carpets, upholstery and other fabrics. Our technicians will do everything possible to make sure any issues presented by the infestation are taken care of completely! Bed Bugs are a growing problem in homes throughout the United States due to their ability to quickly infest a home or apartment. They are very small, microscopic parasites that can lay hundreds of eggs without you even realizing it. These eggs can then hatch into full-grown adults within just a few weeks and begin reproducing as well. The best way to make sure you don’t have bed bugs is to look for signs of them and treat your home before they get out of control. There are many different options available when it comes to bed bug elimination treatments, such as pesticides, steam cleaning services and pesticide free do-it-yourself methods.

Bed Bug Treatment Effectiveness

Introduction

Bed bugs are a pest that can cause a lot of frustration for homeowners. The problem with these insects is that they’re tiny, hard to find, and aren’t easily killed. Once you have them in your home, it’s difficult to get rid of them entirely. However, there are some treatment options available today that have proven effective in killing bed bugs.

Not all bed bug treatment options are created equal.

Bed bug treatment is more than just a one-and-done situation. It’s a long process that can be very expensive, dangerous, and even ineffective if it’s not done properly. There are also some additional considerations to keep in mind when choosing your bed bug treatment method:

• Cost — If you don’t have insurance or other financial assistance, the cost of hiring an exterminator may be prohibitively high for you.
• Time — Some treatments require multiple visits from the exterminator over several weeks or months in order to ensure that there will be no bed bug eggs present when they leave your house. This can add significant time onto your treatment process and cause stress as well as anxiety about potential infestations returning after they leave.
• Messiness — Some types of treatment require insecticides that are messy and potentially harmful if used incorrectly (or even properly). You should always follow directions carefully when applying any chemical products around pets or children in order not to accidentally poison either group with dangerous substances like this one!

Kill hiding bed bugs with heat treatment.

Heat treatment is the most effective way to kill bed bugs. Heat treatment allows you to kill hiding bed bugs in furniture, mattresses, and wall voids. There are several ways to heat treat a home:

• Steam cleaning with hot water and steam can be used on items that can withstand high temperatures (fabrics, leather upholstery) as well as hard surfaces such as cement floors or tile grout.
• Hot air heating units are also an option for treating items like clothing and soft furniture like couches and chairs. These devices use forced hot air to kill any exposed pests at temperatures of about 130 degrees Fahrenheit for about 20 minutes per treatment area (or until the unit shuts off).

Start by finding your bed bugs. Inspect for signs of bed bugs every few days, and also inspect for signs of their eggs.

• Start by finding your bed bugs. Inspect for signs of bed bugs every few days, and also inspect for signs of their eggs.
• Bed bugs hide in cracks and crevices during the day, so look in places like:
• Along mattress seams, especially around the box spring and headboard. Also check any tufts or folds on the mattress cover.
• Around baseboards, moldings or furniture legs near the bed. Bed bugs may be found along walls as well (particularly behind electrical outlets). If you suspect that they’re hiding behind wallpaper, remove it to inspect thoroughly if necessary.
• Underneath throw rugs or carpets near beds or chairs where people sit while getting dressed; underneath furniture; and inside woodwork (at corners of a room). The crevices between wall framing studs are common hiding spots as well since they’re almost always warm enough for a bed bug to survive even when it’s freezing outside—and there’s no light!

Empty & clean all dressers, cabinets, and closets in your home. Remove all items from the drawers and place them in plastic bags until the treatment is over.

• Remove all items from dressers, cabinets, and closets in your home.
• Place the items in plastic bags until the treatment is over.
• Cleaning a room before you begin is not necessary because the chemicals are designed to work on top of surfaces and not underneath them where dust mites thrive.

Seal up your house to prevent bed bugs from entering or escaping during the treatment process.

If you’re using a professional pest control company, they should be able to seal your house with plastic to prevent bed bugs from escaping during treatment. The plastic will usually only be placed over areas of the home that have been sprayed, so it’s important that you keep pets and children away from these areas until the entire home has been treated.

If you’re treating your home yourself or hiring an individual who does not use this method, caulk is an effective way to seal cracks like those found in baseboards and molding near the floor. You can also use tape if caulking is too messy for your tastes; just make sure it adheres well so there are no gaps where insects could get in or out!

Wash all fabrics (clothing, furniture covers, drapes, etc.) in hot water and dry on high heat for at least 20 minutes.

Washing all fabrics (clothing, furniture covers, drapes, etc.) in hot water and drying on high heat for at least 20 minutes will kill bed bugs. Dry cleaning also kills bed bugs but not as effectively as heat. Bed bugs can’t survive in temperatures above 120 degrees Fahrenheit or 40 degrees Celsius, although some researchers believe that they may be able to survive even higher temperatures for short periods of time. For example, one study showed that a single female bed bug survived an average of 19 days when exposed to 131 degrees Fahrenheit (55 degrees Celsius), while another study found that a single male was able to live up to 44 days at 128 degrees Fahrenheit (53 degrees Celsius).

In addition to being killed by heat exposure alone, bedbugs can be killed by chemical treatments if the chemicals are applied directly onto them rather than onto surfaces where they might hide away from contact with these chemicals.

Heat is one of the most effective things you can do to kill bed bugs

Heat is one of the most effective things you can do to kill bed bugs. This is because heat treatment kills all stages of bed bugs, including eggs, nymphs and adults. Heat treatments are also the only way to kill bed bugs that are hiding in cracks and crevices.

Heat treatment is also a great option for killing bed bug eggs because it’s hard to clean everything well enough that there aren’t any cracks or crevices where eggs could hide out until they hatch into adults (and then reproduce more). The same goes for treating your walls: heat will kill any hidden areas behind wallpaper or under baseboards/crown molding so you’ll have fewer places for future generations of bed bugs to hide from future treatments!

Conclusion

The takeaway from this post is that bed bug treatment options vary in effectiveness and should be carefully considered before choosing the best option for your situation. Heat treatment is one of the most successful ways to kill bed bugs and their eggs. The ideal temperature for heat treatment of bed bugs is between 115 degrees Fahrenheit and 130 degrees Fahrenheit, but lower temperatures can still be effective if you have enough time.
