Bed bugs and their eggs cannot survive high heat, and heat treatment uses that weakness. The crew we book brings in heating equipment, raises the warmth of a room or a group of items, and holds it there long enough to reach bed bugs deep inside mattresses, couches and gaps. Heat treatment is one of the choices we can book for homes in Brisbane.
Heat suits rooms with a lot of clutter, soft furniture or items that are hard to treat one by one. It reaches into folds, seams and joins without the need to take everything apart. The crew watches temperatures in different spots during the job, so the heat reaches the corners and not just the middle of the room.
- A walk-through to plan which rooms and items are included
- Heating equipment set up in the treated rooms
- Temperature checks in several spots during the job
- A list of items to move out before the heat starts
- A plain summary at the end of the visit
Some items do not handle heat well, such as candles, aerosol cans, vinyl records, some electronics and indoor plants. The crew will give you a list when you book, so you can move these out first. Plan to be out of the treated rooms for most of the day, and keep pets with you or somewhere cool. The crew will tell you when it is fine to come back in and put things away again.
Heat treatment is usually booked after an inspection shows bed bugs are present. We take bookings across Brisbane and the nearby suburbs, from small units to larger family homes. Call 07 3543 7767 for upfront pricing and to talk through whether heat suits your home.
